READ THE FINE PRINT ANYWHERE ELSE
Most platforms take a cut
somewhere. We don't take one anywhere.
Not a lower percentage on tips. Not a fee waived only on a promotional day. Not free on one revenue stream but not another. Zero, on tips, on merch, on patron subscriptions — on every plan, including Free, forever.

| Revenue stream | Jam Engine's cut | Typical elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Live tip-to-request payments | 0% | Platform fee + processor fee |
| Merch & print-on-demand sales | 0% | Commission per sale |
| Patron / recurring supporter income | 0% | Percentage of every pledge |
"Typical elsewhere" describes the general pattern across creator-tool platforms, not any specific competitor's current published rates — those change, so check any platform's own pricing page directly. Stripe's own standard card-processing fee still applies to any payment, on any platform, including ours — that fee goes to Stripe, never to us.
How We Make Money Instead
A flat subscription for the platform. That's it.
🆓
Free tier, forever
A full fan page, tip-to-request queue, songbook, and analytics — free, no expiry, no feature countdown.
💳
Flat monthly fee, if you upgrade
Band Manager is $5/page/month for the full collaboration and gig-management toolkit. The fee is for the software, not a tax on your fans' generosity.
🔒
Your Stripe account, not ours
Fan payments go straight into your own connected Stripe account. We never touch the money, which is exactly why we can't quietly take a cut of it.
📈
We win when you stay, not when you earn
Our incentive is keeping the software worth $5/month — not maximizing what we skim off your best night.
