CKURO.ART / For Artists

Pricing Guide

Simple math. No subscriptions, no listing fees, no hidden costs. You make a sale — you keep 90% of it.

90%

goes to you, every time.

10% platform fee covers Stripe, infrastructure, storage, and moderation.

01

What the 10% Covers

The platform fee isn't profit extraction — it's operating cost. Here's where it goes:

  • Stripe payment processing

    Every card transaction has a processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30). That comes out of the platform cut, not your 90%.

  • Cloudflare R2 storage

    Your original files and preview images are stored on R2. Storage and bandwidth cost money. This covers it.

  • Moderation & verification

    Every artist application is reviewed by a real person. Keeping AI art off the platform requires ongoing work. This funds that.

  • Infrastructure

    Hosting, database, CDN, email — the plumbing that makes the platform run.

There are no investor returns to optimize for. CKURO.ART is independent. The fee exists to keep the lights on, not to make someone rich.

The Math, Concretely

A few examples of what you actually receive per sale:

Note: Stripe's processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is absorbed within the platform's 10% cut and does not come out of your 90%.
