Fewer tools
One platform instead of ten subscriptions.
Most teams pay for a different tool for every job, then pay again in the time it takes to keep them in sync. Here is the same work, done in Studio, next to what the usual stack lists at.

Studio Meals has nothing to compare. There is no monthly fee, no seats and no ads, and no money moves through a meal train at all, so there is no rate to weigh up.
Studio Rally has nothing to compare. There is no monthly fee and no seats to manage. You pay only a small fee per donation, and donors can choose to cover it so you keep 100%.
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.
No markup
Pay your processor. Pay us. Nothing else.
Stripe, Authorize.net or QuickBooks Payments charges your own account at its own rates, and we never touch them. Our fee sits on top, the same on every processor, and what it is depends on what you are selling.
Your processor is a pass-through
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. Prefer your own Authorize.net or QuickBooks Payments account? Payments settle there in full, at the rate you already have.
Free plans cost nothing a month
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 and the same on Stripe, Authorize.net and QuickBooks, with no tips, no upsells and nothing added at checkout. Off Stripe it is added up and charged once each evening to the card on your Studio plan.

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. On Authorize.net or QuickBooks Payments, your provider's rate takes its place. 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.

Add-ons
Turn on more when you need it.
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.
Add-on
AI Concierge
It answers, in your inbox and your chatQuestions arrive the way they always did. The Concierge writes the first reply, and anything it cannot settle lands with a person instead of sitting unread.
It catches the lead before it coolsWho asked, what they wanted and how to reach them, captured and routed to whoever should pick it up.
Metered, not another seat to buyEach pack carries a bundle of conversations a month. Go past it and you keep going, at a rate the pack sets, and nothing shuts off mid-month.
Newsletters + donor appeals with CRM-integrated lists.
The list is already in StudioClients, members, donors and attendees are one database, so a send list is a filter over people you already have rather than a spreadsheet you export and re-import.
Your forms keep it currentSomeone who gives, registers or fills in a form can be added to the right list as it happens, so the audience stays live without anyone maintaining it.
Sent as you, and actually deliveredYour own sending domain and workspace branding, with bounce and suppression handling running behind it so a bad address does not follow you around.
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.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Only team-member seats count toward your limits. The people you serve, clients, donors, members, attendees, and volunteers, are always unlimited and free.
It depends on what you are selling. Donations, event tickets, memberships and invoices each carry their own Studio fee, and every one of them is lower on a paid plan than on a free one. Invoices are also capped, so our fee on a large bill stops growing. The full table is in the payment fees section above. The Studio fee is the same whether you take payments through Stripe, Authorize.net or QuickBooks Payments, and your processor's own rate applies separately and is never marked up by Studio.
Yes. Connect your own Authorize.net merchant account or QuickBooks Payments in Settings, then Payments. Card payments settle straight into your account at the rate you already have, and Studio's fee is the same as on Stripe. Instead of coming out of each payment, it is added up and charged once each evening to the card on your Studio plan, with an itemized email. Payment plans and monthly giving work too. Bank payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay stay on Stripe.
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 are two separate things. "No markup on Stripe" means we never inflate Stripe's own rate. Stripe bills your connected account directly at its standard pricing, and that goes straight to Stripe, not to us. The Studio fee is our platform fee, shown separately and in full in the payment fees section above. It is the only fee Studio charges, and it is how a free plan can be genuinely free instead of putting payments behind a subscription. 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.
Yes. There is no monthly cost on a free plan. It pays for itself through a higher fee on each payment you take, which is why a paid plan lowers that fee, usually by a lot. If you never take a payment, a free plan never costs you anything.
Craft Free includes 2 team members, 3 clients, 5 active projects per client, and 1 GB of storage. The people you serve never count against you.
Yes. Upgrades are prorated, and you can change or cancel from Account, then Billing. Move between products too, and bring all your people and data with you.
Yes. No contracts and no cancellation fees. Cancel whenever you like and keep access through the end of your billing period.
Every plan includes storage out of the box, from 1 GB on Craft Free up to 1 TB on Studio+. The full breakdown is in the storage section above.
No. Storage packs are a flat monthly add-on. No per-file charges, no bandwidth fees, and no surprise overages. Storage packs require a Paid plan.
