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 investors to pay back. CKURO.ART is independent. The fee keeps the lights on. That's it.

Stripe's processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) comes out of the platform's 10%. Not your 90%.
