How paid groups are priced

You set the price for your group. When a member subscribes, Groupanda keeps 6% of that subscription, and Stripe adds its standard payment processing fee. That is the whole cost. There is no monthly charge, no setup fee, and no per-member pricing. If nobody is paying, you pay nothing.

Pricing questions

Is Groupanda really free?

Yes. You can run a community on the Free plan for as long as you like, with no time limit and no card required. You only pay when you charge your own members.

What is the 6%?

When you run paid groups, Groupanda keeps 6% of each subscription. It is how the Free plan stays free.

Are there monthly fees?

No. There is no monthly charge and no setup fee. You pay only the 6% on paid subscriptions.

What does Stripe charge?

Stripe adds its standard payment processing fee on top of the 6%. The exact rate depends on your country and the payment method.

Do I pay per member?

No. There is no per-member pricing. A community with a thousand members costs the same to run as one with ten.

When do I pay?

Only when a member pays. The 6% comes out of the subscription, so there is nothing to pay up front.
