Pricing
Everyone starts as a patron. Two ways up.
Listening, keeping and backing are free for everybody. Creators climb a ladder of rates; sponsors fund what they believe in, by agreement. One membership sits beside all of it.
Patron — everyone, by default
Listen, keep, follow, back. No card, no plan, nothing to choose.
Patron membership
$4.99/month
A supporter's membership beside the free account: it funds the people you listen to.

The creator ladder
One number per rung, and the maths to check it
What PublicSh takes when your work earns, what each membership costs, and the point at which a membership pays for itself. Read from what is actually published — never a rate nobody can join at.

By agreement
A work keeps the rate it was published on, permanently. Changing membership changes what you publish next — nothing already out.
The step you earn
Pro reaches zero — by what your work has done
On Pro, the take falls to nothing once both of these are true of your account. Not bought, not negotiated: earned, and checked against real rows.
- Earned on PublicSh, all time
- $250,000
- People holding a stake in your work
- 2,500
Both numbers are the ones the platform actually checks. Neither can be inflated by imported contacts or by activity that isn't a sale or a stake.
