Ko Fi Plans Pricing

Ko-fi's pricing is creator-account pricing, not API pricing - the payment webhook is available on every account at no extra charge. Two account tiers exist. The Free plan charges 0% platform fee on tips and donations, and a 5% platform fee on memberships, shop sales, and commissions. Ko-fi Gold is a flat monthly subscription that removes the 5% platform fee across memberships, shop sales, and commissions (tips and donations are already 0% on both plans). Third-party payment processing fees (roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction via PayPal or Stripe) apply on both plans and are charged by the processor, not by Ko-fi.
