Card processing is the same estimate for everyone: 2.9% + 30¢ per order (Stripe's standard US rate). International cards, currency conversion and other payment methods can cost more, on every platform. Features differ too: this compares cost, not everything each tool does. Linktree, Stan, Beacons, Gumroad and Ko-fi are trademarks of their owners. PageDrop isn't affiliated with them.

How does the fee calculator work?
Enter what you sell in a month and how many orders that is.

Other platforms' prices are their public monthly prices, checked October 21, 2026.
