No monthly fee.
15% only when you sell.
linklck pricing is one number. There's no subscription, no listing fee, and no payment-processing charge stacked on top of it. Sell something and you keep 85%. Sell nothing and you pay nothing.
The 15% flat fee, explained
Every successful sale is split the same way, whether you charge $5 or $500. The fee covers Stripe payment processing, secure checkout, content hosting and delivery, link safety scanning, and chargeback handling. The number you see is the number you keep.
Worked example: a buyer unlocks your link for $10.00.
- You receive $8.50 (85%).
- linklck keeps $1.50, and pays the Stripe processing fees out of that share, not yours.
- Free to sign up and create unlimited links
- Set any price from $5 to $500 per unlock
- Payment processing included, no 2.9% + 30¢ on top
- Payouts via Stripe, straight to your bank
How linklck fees compare
Headline percentages hide a lot. Most platforms add card-processing fees on top of their cut, and some charge a monthly fee to unlock the lower rate. Here's the honest picture for a one-off digital sale (fees as published by each platform, mid-2026; always verify current rates):
| Platform | Monthly fee | Fee per sale | Card processing | You keep on $10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| linklck | $0 | 15% flat | Included | $8.50 |
| Gumroad | $0 | 10% (30% via Discover) | + ~2.9% + 30¢ | ≈ $8.41 |
| Ko-fi | $0 (Gold ~$8/mo for 0% shop fee) | 5% shop fee | + PayPal/Stripe fees | ≈ $8.91 |
| Lemon Squeezy | $0 | 5% + 50¢ | Included (extras for PayPal & intl.) | ≈ $9.00 |
| Patreon | $0 | 8–12% of membership income | + processing + payout fees | Built for subscriptions |
Per-sale, some platforms can edge out linklck. But every one of them asks you to build a storefront or configure a product page before you can sell anything, and monthly fees or upsells lurk once you grow. linklck trades a couple of percentage points for zero fixed costs and a link that's live in 30 seconds. For selling one thing to your own audience, that trade usually wins. See the full breakdowns: vs Gumroad, vs Ko-fi, vs Lemon Squeezy.

Pricing FAQ
Is linklck really free to start?
Yes. Creating an account, creating links, and sharing them costs nothing. There's no monthly subscription and no listing fee. linklck only earns when you do: a flat 15% fee comes off each successful sale, and the remaining 85% is credited to you.
What does the 15% fee cover?
Everything: Stripe payment processing, secure checkout with 3-D Secure support, hosting and delivery of your content, automatic Google Safe Browsing scans on submitted URLs, fraud and chargeback handling, and payouts. There are no payment-processing fees added on top of the 15%.
Are there payment processing fees on top of the 15%?
No. Plenty of platforms advertise a low headline percentage and then add card-processing fees (typically around 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction). linklck's 15% is all-inclusive. If a buyer pays $10, you're credited exactly $8.50, and that's what shows up on the statement.
How and when do I get paid?
Payouts are handled through Stripe. Connect your Stripe account from the dashboard and your earnings are paid out directly to your bank. You keep 85% of every sale. You can create and share links before connecting Stripe; you only need to connect before receiving your first payout.
What prices can I set?
Anywhere from $5 to $500 per unlock. Because the fee is a flat percentage with no fixed per-transaction charge deducted from your share, low-priced items like a $5 cheat sheet are just as viable as a $300 product.
Is linklck always the cheapest option?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. At some price points Lemon Squeezy or Ko-fi can net you slightly more per sale. What you're choosing with linklck is zero fixed costs and zero setup. There's no store to build and no monthly plan to justify. One link, live in about 30 seconds.
Keep 85% of your next sale
Free to start. No card required. Your first link can be live in about 30 seconds.
