WHAT'S YOUR PRICE?
Answer these 5 questions. We'll crunch the numbers.
Your Recommended Price
If fans convert
This is your starting price — not a ceiling. Most creators raise prices after 30 days once fans see the value.
MOST CREATORS PICK A PRICE BY GUESSING
They charge $5 because it feels "safe." Or they look at what someone else is charging and copy that number. Neither strategy accounts for your niche, your content format, or what your specific audience will actually pay.
The result is predictable: burnout from overworking, fans who don't stick around, and a recurring revenue number that doesn't match the hours you're putting in. Price too low and you attract bargain hunters. Price too high without justification and you get no one.
PRICE IS A SIGNAL. LOW PRICES TELL FANS YOUR CONTENT ISN'T WORTH PAYING FOR.
HOW IT CALCULATES YOUR PRICE
Four factors determine what your audience will pay. The calculator weights them all.
NICHE BASE RATE
Finance and trading fans pay the most because information = money. Fitness, cooking, and lifestyle fans pay less. Your niche sets the floor.
CONTENT FREQUENCY
Posting daily signals full-time commitment and justifies a higher price. Weekly posting is worth less. Cadence is the closest proxy for value delivered.
CONTENT TYPE
Actionable signals and exclusive analysis command a premium over general updates or entertainment content. Fans pay for outcomes, not just access.
AUDIENCE SIZE
A larger free audience means more social proof — fans expect to pay more for content other people clearly value. Scarcity and demand go together.
