Is it really free to start?

Yes, and Free is a plan rather than a countdown — it does not run out and there is nothing to cancel. No monthly fee, your own website, unlimited courses and a member area, and we take 4.9% of a sale when you make one. We ask for a card when you decide a lower rate is worth a monthly fee, not before. AI, funnels and automations start on Basic.

What do I get by upgrading?

Basic ($29/mo) turns on Standard AI — 3,000 credits a month — plus funnels, automations and your own custom domain, and drops your platform fee to 3.5%. Pro ($89/mo) is Fast AI at 10,000 credits, adds your own mobile app, and webhooks plus read-only API access so you can wire Ripe Pulp into Zapier, Make or your own tools — and drops the fee to 2.3%. Business ($199/mo) is Advanced AI at 25,000 credits, adds automatic video transcripts and subtitle translation, takes the “Created by Ripe Pulp” line off what you publish, and adds full white-label, a read/write developer API and SSO — with a platform fee of 0.9%, the lowest we offer.

Which plans include AI?

Basic, Pro and Business. Each comes with a monthly credit allowance — Standard AI (3,000), Fast AI (10,000) and Advanced AI (25,000) — and you can top up at any time. Free has no AI at all.

What does a sale actually cost me?

Our platform fee plus card processing, and we publish both. The platform fee is 4.9% on Free, 3.5% on Basic, 2.3% on Pro and 0.9% on Business. The processor charges its own 2.9% + 30¢ at cost — so a sale costs 7.8% + 30¢ all in on Free, down to 3.8% + 30¢ on Business. Everyone publishes the platform fee this way; the second number is the one most of them leave you to find.

What happens if lots of people watch my videos at once?

They watch. We do not meter your students or cut a lesson off partway through — stopping a video someone is in the middle of is a refund and a bad review, not a limit worth enforcing. What each plan does cap is how much video you STORE, and that figure is on the plan above. If your audience grows to the point where delivery costs us real money, we will talk to you about it; we will not do it by breaking playback.

Is video hosting unlimited?

Streaming is: we never meter your viewers or stop a video partway through. What each plan includes is how much video you store and how much new video we process each month (the figures on the plan above). Past those, uploads continue and are paid from your credits, so nothing stops. If one account streams far beyond anything normal, we talk to you first.

Can I pay in crypto?

Yes — subscriptions and purchases can be paid in USDT/crypto in addition to card, so you can transact from anywhere.

Can I cancel anytime?

Anytime. Downgrade back to Free and keep your account, your content and your customer list — you just return to the 4.9% fee.

What does a brand deal cost me?

Nothing. When a sponsorship is paid through Ripe Pulp we hold the money until you and the brand agree the work is done, and our 8.9% fee is added to what the brand pays rather than taken out of yours. Sign for an amount and that is the amount you are paid. Deals you only track in your pipeline are free.

What does an extra team seat cost?

Every plan above Free sells seats. The first 9 past what your plan includes are $14 each a month; past that, every further seat is $9. You are never refused a colleague — a seat is a price, not a wall.
