Simple pricing
Start and run your community without a subscription. Coralbeat is free until your community generates revenue, then charges a progressive platform fee based on monthly revenue.
How fees work
When your community generates revenue by selling memberships, resources, services, or products, two fee types can apply.
Payment processing fees are charged per successful transaction. The exact fee can vary by country, customer card details, international transactions, currency conversion, and optional payment features such as tax collection.
Coralbeat's platform fee is charged monthly using progressive revenue bands. Each percentage applies only to the revenue inside that band. If the community generates no revenue, there is no Coralbeat fee.
For example, if a UK member purchases a £20 membership with a standard UK card, the payment processing fee is 1.5% + 20p, so 50p is taken for processing that transaction. Separately, if the community reaches £1,200 in monthly revenue, Coralbeat charges 8% on the first £1,000 (£80) and 6% on the next £200 (£12).
Coralbeat platform fees
These are Coralbeat's progressive monthly platform-fee rates. Payment processing fees are not included in Coralbeat platform fees. Each row applies only to that portion of monthly revenue, so crossing a threshold does not move all revenue into the lower rate.
