Pricing FAQ
Do you require a contract?
We're month-by-month (like Stripe). We find contracts with commitment/cancellation fees annoying.
Why are you so expensive?
We focus on companies that have a "pay money to make money" mentality. This typically means product-market fit (or just wanting the best for your customers).
We invest this money into hiring world-class engineers so we can build you and your customers the best product possible.
The Skio engineering team brings experience from companies like Pinterest, Amazon, Hulu, and Redfin.
What is eligible for the transaction fee?
If there's a subscription in an order, we take 1% of the whole order's revenue (includes 1-time items, taxes and shipping).
If you're wondering why, it's because there's no easy way to divide shipping for one-time and subscription products in an order.
Other subscription platforms do this as well, but they don't want
to draw attention to it. We prefer that you actually understand this.
Does this pricing include free theme development for anything subscription-related for life?
It does not (for focus and survival reasons!).
To elaborate, we help you with theme setup initially to get you off the ground running.
At the same time though, we must stay focused on making the core subscription experience the best it can be.
If you plan on having ongoing theme development, we recommend your theme developer test changes they make.
How does solo / group revenue work?
There are 3 types of fees:
- Orders with 2+ people involved (3% Skio cut)
- Orders with a subscription (1% + 20¢ Skio cut)
- All other orders (0% Skio cut)
As an example, let's say Bob subscribes to a product and also buys a 1-time product in the same order. This is
a subscription order which Skio takes a 1% + 20¢ cut of.
After this, Jane joins Bob's group subscription using his invite link. Jane's order is considered group revenue which Skio would also take a 3% cut of.
Future recurring transactions involving Bob and Jane would also be considered group revenue.
A good way of thinking of this mechanism is like an affiliate link. With Skio, all your customers can become affiliates.
Why do you take an ongoing cut of group revenue?
We're in this with you for the long
haul. This means we care whether group subscription (referred) users actually stick around (vs. normal referral apps where they don't).
By basing our pricing off this aligned goal, we can focus resources on building the best ongoing group experience that retains users and makes you more money.
