Free Until You're Selling. 0% From $24.99.
One page with real Stripe checkout, a booking calendar, lead forms, affiliate cards and analytics. Free to start at 5%, 3% at $9.99, and nothing at all at $24.99 — the cheapest zero-commission plan in the category.
By Keepp Team
Most tools in this category ask you to choose between two bad shapes. Either you pay nothing monthly and hand over a big percentage of every sale, or you pay a real subscription every month whether the page earned anything or not. The first punishes you for succeeding. The second charges you for the months you didn’t.
Keepp’s answer is a ladder where both numbers go down together: 5% on the free plan, 3% on Pro at $9.99/month, and 0% on Influencer at $24.99/month. You start at no monthly cost with a working checkout, and the more the page earns, the more sense it makes to move up — until the commission disappears entirely for less than most of this category charges just to open the door.
The fee comparison, in full
| Platform | Free plan | Commission ladder | Cost to reach 0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keepp | $0, checkout included | 5% → 3% → 0% | $24.99/mo |
| Linktree | $0, links only | 12% → 9% → 0% | $35/mo |
| Beacons | $0, 9% fee | 9% → 9% → 0% | $30/mo |
| Stan Store | None (trial only) | 0% flat | $29/mo |
| Milkshake | $0, 12% fee | 12% → 9% → 7% | Not offered |
| Payhip | $0, 5% fee | 5% → 2% → 0% | $99/mo |
| Buy Me a Coffee | $0, 5% fee | Flat 5%, no plan lowers it | Not offered |
| Gumroad | $0 | 10% + $0.50, plus card processing | Not offered |
| Taplink | $0, no payments | 0% (your own processor) | Payments need the Business tier |
| Carrd | $0, no checkout at all | N/A — no checkout | N/A |
Two things fall out of that table, and both are worth checking yourself rather than taking on trust.
No free plan in this category charges less than Keepp’s. Payhip and Buy Me a Coffee match it at 5%; everything else with a free tier charges more, and several charge double. The difference is what the free plan actually includes — Keepp’s has real Stripe checkout, a real booking calendar, and a fully customizable page on it, not a link list with payments locked behind an upgrade.
Keepp is the cheapest route to 0% commission that exists here. Stan Store’s zero starts at $29/month with no free plan underneath it. Beacons reaches zero at $30. Linktree at $35. Payhip at $99. Keepp gets there at $24.99 — below every one of them, on a plan that also carries bookings, forms, analytics, and a custom domain.
Fees and plans change; these are each platform’s published numbers at the time of writing, and the individual comparisons for Linktree, Beacons, Stan Store, Milkshake, Payhip, Buy Me a Coffee, Gumroad, and Taplink go through each one in detail. Confirm current pricing on each platform’s own page before you decide.
What the percentage is actually charged on
This is the part that changes the arithmetic more than the headline rate does. Keepp’s commission applies only to sales its own Stripe checkout processes. Everything else on the page is 0%, on every plan including Free:
- Free pricing — a free consultation slot, a free download, a waitlist. No charge, no cut.
- Display pricing — show a real price, capture a real order with the buyer’s name and email and an instant confirmation, and handle the payment yourself: cash, invoice, bank transfer, your own payment link. Keepp’s fee is 0%, because there’s no Keepp transaction to take a percentage of.
- Link-outs — a card pointing at your Etsy shop, your Amazon listing, your own separate store, or an affiliate link with your promo code. Nothing about the sale touches Keepp, and nothing is charged.
So a page mixing a few checkout products with a link-out catalog, an affiliate row, and a lead form is paying a percentage on a fraction of what it does. Get paid your way walks through all three modes and when each one fits.
There’s also no minimum price and no minimum fee. You can list something at whatever amount Stripe will process, and the commission is a straight percentage of it — not a percentage with a floor underneath that quietly costs more on small items.
What you get for it
Cheap is only interesting if the thing is complete. The reason a Keepp page can replace several tools is that the blocks that matter are all first-class, on the same page, in the same editor.
Real checkout, on your own Stripe account. Products with photos, variants, quantity, stock limits, and custom order questions — physical goods, digital downloads delivered privately after payment, or both. Money is credited straight to your Stripe account; you’re the merchant of record.
Real bookings, on the free plan. Genuine availability, Google Calendar sync that prevents double-booking, and an automatic Zoom or Google Meet link generated per appointment. Slot-based for consultations, sessions and classes, or night-based for rooms, stays and rentals. Of the tools in the table above, almost none have a booking system at all — it’s the single biggest gap in the category. Taking bookings and appointments online covers how it works.
Lead capture that’s yours. Form blocks with your own fields — a waitlist, an enquiry, a custom-order brief, a feedback survey — with every submission filterable, taggable, and exportable to CSV whenever you want it.
Affiliate and showcase cards. The same card grid holds things you sell, things you recommend with a promo code attached, and things you just want seen. Recommendations, affiliate links and promo codes covers that side.
Every block has its own link and QR code. Not just the page — each product, booking, menu, form and card has a real URL and a QR code one tap away, so you can send someone straight to the one thing you’re talking about instead of hoping they scroll. Shareable links and QR codes for every block has the detail. No other tool in this category builds that into the block itself.
A page that looks like yours. Your own colours, gradients or full-bleed image backgrounds, font pairings, roundedness, a map block if you have a location, and scheduled blocks that appear and disappear on their own for launches and seasonal items.
Analytics past view counts. Visits over time, geography, device, traffic source, and a conversion funnel showing where people actually drop out.
And an AI assistant can run it. Keepp has an HTTP Agent API and a ready-made skill, so you can hand ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini a key and change a price, add a product, or restyle the page by describing what you want. Managing your page with an AI assistant covers the setup. Nothing else in the comparison table above offers this.
None of it is rented
A low price stops mattering if the platform owns the parts of your business that took years to build. The pieces that matter on a Keepp page were always yours:
- Your Stripe account, not a house balance Keepp holds and releases. Payouts, refunds and disputes happen in your own dashboard, on Stripe’s schedule.
- Your audience. There is no mechanism in Keepp that emails your leads or buyers on your behalf. Your list is not something the platform markets to or holds as leverage.
- Your records, exportable to CSV as a matter of course — not as a special request when you’re leaving.
- Your affiliate relationships, with any program, no approved-partner list.
- Your scheduler, if you already have one — a plain link block to Calendly or Cal.com works exactly like any other button, and Keepp’s native booking flow is there when you want the tighter integration rather than because you’re forced into it.
- Your domain on Pro, so the address is one you own and can point anywhere later.
A Keepp page never locks you in goes through each of these properly. The short version: leaving would be easy, which is exactly why the pricing has to stand on its own.
It replaces the website, not just the link in bio
Most people in this position don’t actually want a website. They want the six things a website was going to do — show what you offer, take a booking, take a payment, capture someone who isn’t ready yet, point people at what you recommend, and be findable — without a build, a theme, a plugin stack, or a monthly hosting bill to maintain.
That’s the whole design. One page, one editor, one address, at keepp.link/yourhandle or your own domain. A visitor books a session, buys a product, fills in your form, and taps through to your affiliate pick without ever leaving it. Nothing needs to be wired to anything else, because it was never separate tools in the first place. A mini website for creators and small businesses covers that framing in full, and how Keepp compares across the whole category puts the feature set side by side with ten other tools.
Common questions
Is the free plan actually usable, or is it a trial? It’s a real plan with no clock on it: a fully customizable page, your keepp.link handle, real Stripe checkout at 5%, a booking calendar with automatic meeting links, and basic analytics. No card required to start.
When is it worth moving up? Every step lands in the same place: at roughly $500/month in Stripe-processed sales, Pro pays for itself against Free, and Influencer pays for itself against Pro. Below that, people generally move up for the features — forms, custom domain, full analytics — rather than the rate. Above it, each step up costs less than staying put.
Does the commission come out of what the buyer pays or what I receive? It’s deducted from the sale at the moment it’s processed, so a lower rate on a higher plan means more of the same price reaches you. The buyer pays the price you set either way.
Does Keepp charge anything on sales it doesn’t process? No. Free pricing, display pricing, link-outs and affiliate cards are 0% on every plan, including Free.
