Fees
The complete fee schedule. Rekomi takes zero profit from creators, ever; here is every number on both sides.
Rekomi takes zero profit from creators. Ever. No commission cut, no deal fees, no subscription. This page is the complete schedule, including what brands pay, so you can see exactly where every fee lands.
What you pay
Nothing goes to Rekomi. The only deduction you will ever see is the payment processor's own cost of moving money to you, passed through exactly, with nothing added on top. It depends on your payout method:
| Payout method | Processor cost (passed through at cost) |
|---|---|
| Stripe (bank payouts, 40+ countries) | $2.25 once per calendar month (only in months you are paid) + 0.25% of the transfer. That is Stripe's base cost; Rekomi adds nothing. |
| PayPal (110+ more countries) | 2% of the amount sent, capped at $20, charged by Rekomi (exactly PayPal's own sending cost). PayPal deducts nothing on arrival; the money lands in full. |
A worked example on the Stripe rail: you earn $500 in commissions this month. Your payout is $500.00 minus $2.25 minus $1.25 (0.25%), so $496.50 lands in your bank, and that $3.50 went to Stripe, not to Rekomi. If the same brand pays you twice in one month, the $2.25 is only charged once.
Deals
Deals follow the same schedule. When a brand books you for a flat amount (a sponsored video, a newsletter placement, anything from your services list or in a proposal link), the brand funds the full amount with Rekomi up front, plus a brand-side service fee (3% with a $5 minimum, capped at $150 per deal; brands that discover you through the Rekomi directory pay a one-time 10% match fee, capped at $500, on their first deal with you only). After the brand confirms delivery, you receive the deal amount minus only the processor pass-through above. A $1,500 deal on the Stripe rail pays you $1,500.00 minus $2.25 minus $3.75 (0.25%), so $1,494.00 lands in your bank and Rekomi keeps none of it. The full deal terms are in the Affiliate Terms.
What brands pay (never you)
Full transparency: this is the other side of the schedule. Every row here is paid by the brand, never deducted from you.
| Fee | Amount | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| Platform subscription | $29, $49, or $99 per month | The brand |
| Payout fee (commissions) | A flat 3% on the money they send you | The brand |
| Deal fee (booking you directly) | 3% of the deal, minimum $5, capped at $150 per deal | The brand |
| One-time match fee (they found you in the directory) | 10% of the first deal only, capped at $500; every deal after that is the capped 3% | The brand |
When a brand pays you $1,000 in commissions, the brand is charged about $1,030 and you are credited the full $1,000. Marketplaces typically take 15 to 25% out of creator deals; on Rekomi the brand pays 3% (capped at $150 on deals) and your side stays whole.
Why it works this way
Brands pay for the platform because it grows their revenue. You are the supply that makes it valuable, so your side stays free: your profile, your page, your tracking, and your tax handling are all included at no cost to you. Rekomi only earns when brands move money, which means we are paid for making sure you get paid.
