Memberships
Outpost
Keep the whole dollar.
Patreon takes 10% of every dollar you earn. YouTube Memberships takes 30%. Outpost charges a flat monthly fee — no revenue cut, ever. Your platform, your brand, your member list.
In development · managed service · Included in Full Suite
Your subscriber list, not Patreon's. If you ever leave, you take everything — no hostage list.
Patreon takes 8–12%. YouTube takes 30%. Outpost is flat — every dollar your members pay goes to you.
Membership lives at your domain — not a redirect to someone else's platform.
We run the infrastructure and handle the technical side. You build the audience.
The math
Who keeps more?
150 members paying $10/mo = $1,500 coming in every month. Here’s what you take home with each option:
Platform cuts grow with you — 30% of your success, forever. A flat fee doesn’t care how big you get. At 150 members × $10/mo, you take home $51/mo more with Outpost than Patreon.
Illustrative example only. YouTube memberships require channel eligibility; 30% platform cut applies to all membership revenue. Patreon fees 10% flat for new creators plus card processing (~3%); shown here at ~13% combined. Outpost card processing via Stripe ~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (varies by card and country). Outpost flat fee is illustrative preview pricing — final service pricing agreed in writing before engagement.
Own the relationship, not just the revenue.
Membership platforms that survive on your members deserve to own them. Outpost puts the relationship where it belongs.
Custom tiers and perks
Define as many membership tiers as you need — names, pricing, and included perks entirely yours. No platform-imposed tier structure, no revenue share on tier upgrades.
Member content, on your site
Gated content lives on your own domain — not paywalled behind someone else's app. Members log in through your site and stay in your brand experience.
You own the list
Your member list is yours — exported any time, in any format. No platform lock-in on your audience. Switch providers without losing a single contact.
Flat Stripe processing
All revenue goes through your own Stripe account. You see every transaction. You control every refund. The only deduction is standard card processing — nothing to us.
The Straight Deal applies here.
- Your member list is always exportable — contacts, history, tier data.
- Your domain and your Stripe account. Our systems sit behind them.
- Leave any time. We don't charge exit fees or hold your data hostage.
- Flat monthly managed-service fee. Never a cut of your membership revenue.
