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