Invite creators, keep more
Every 5 creators you invite who join and pay halves Hotly's cut, down to 5%. Works on either plan.
| To start | 5 invited | 10 invited | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted | $80 | $90 | $95 |
| Hosted Plus | $90 | $95 | $95 |
Before you pick
- What happens on day 31?
- Your plan starts and the first monthly charge goes through. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
- Can I switch plans?
- Yes. Write to care@hotly.com and we'll move you between Hosted and Hosted Plus. Creators you've invited still count.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, anytime. People who pay you are paused, not lost, and pick up again if you come back.
- What do people pay me?
- The weekly price you set. $5–$20 weekly is usual, and expert time goes far higher.
