Vendor-published list pricing, gathered August 2026, at plans sized for a mid-size organization. Anything a vendor quotes privately is named but counted as zero, and percentage fees are shown rather than summed, so the total only ever reflects prices the vendor publishes itself. Your own quote may land higher or lower.
Stripe charges your own account at its own rates, and we never touch them. Our fee sits on top, and what it is depends on what you are selling.
Stripe bills your own connected account directly at 2.9% + $0.30 a card, and bank payments at 0.8% capped at $5. That money goes to Stripe, not to us, and we never add a markup to it.
A free plan has no monthly bill, so our fee on each payment is higher. A paid plan lowers it, usually by a lot. Either way there is one Studio fee, shown here in full, with no tips, no upsells and nothing added at checkout.
$96.30
of a $100 card donation
Donations are the same rate for businesses and nonprofits.
Stripe's share goes to Stripe, at Stripe's own rates, billed to your own account. Only the middle line is ours. Payers can also choose to cover the fees, so you keep the full amount.
On a $10,000 invoice our fee is $15, not $100. Invoices are capped, so our fee stops climbing while your bills do not.
Every rate for Businesses
Stripe's figures are their published US card rates, checked 8 August 2026. Your own rate depends on your Stripe account and the card used.
Two parts of Studio are metered, because they cost us per use: the AI Concierge and broadcast Emails. Both are optional, both sit on top of any paid plan, and you only size up when you actually outgrow a bundle.

AI inbox + lead routing on top of any paid plan.

Newsletters + donor appeals with CRM-integrated lists.
Every add-on requires a paid plan. Go past a bundle and Concierge is 3 cents per conversation (2 cents on Pro), and Emails are $6 per 1,000 sends. Nothing shuts off mid-month.
Every plan includes generous storage out of the box. Need more? Storage packs are a flat monthly add-on on any Paid plan, with no usage-based gotchas and no per-file fees.
Storage add-ons require a Paid plan. Free-tier users can upgrade to any Paid plan to unlock storage packs.
Only team-member seats count toward your limits. The people you serve, clients, donors, members, attendees, and volunteers, are always unlimited and free.
Studio's platform fee is 0.5% per card and 0.1% ACH on paid plans, and 2.5% per card on free plans. Stripe's standard processing rate applies separately and is never marked up by Studio.
Bundling hides the real cost and marks up money that is not ours. Stripe charges your own account directly at standard rates, and verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits can qualify for Stripe Charitable Giving. We never touch it, so we never quote it as ours.
They're two separate things. "No markup on Stripe" means we never inflate Stripe's own rate — Stripe charges your connected account directly at their standard pricing (2.9% + $0.30 for cards, or 2.2% + $0.30 if you qualify for Stripe's charitable rate), and that goes straight to Stripe, not us. The Studio fee is our platform fee, shown separately and clearly: 2.5% per card on Free, 0.5% per card on Paid (ACH is 0.5% on Free, 0.1% on Paid). That's the only fee Studio charges, and it's how we keep the free tier genuinely free instead of locking payments behind a subscription. So on any transaction you pay Stripe's rate plus the Studio fee — never Stripe's rate marked up, and never a hidden cut on top.
