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.
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.
