Loresta is the seller of record for Page purchases and handles applicable sales-tax collection and remittance in supported checkout countries. Your Page, offers and answers to Page questions start on Free. Paid plans add Instagram, Facebook, X and TikTok inboxes, automated replies on Instagram and Facebook, and a lower Page fee. On X and TikTok you review replies before they go out.
Free has no monthly cost. Loresta’s Page fee falls from 8% on Free to 5% on Creator and 3% on Pro. Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢ + 0.5% sales tax handling, plus Stripe Billing’s 0.7% on memberships) is separate, goes to Stripe, and is the same on every plan. See what you keep.
What you keep, with every cost in view
Three separate lines: Loresta’s Page fee, Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢ + 0.5% sales tax handling per successful US card charge, paid to Stripe) and your plan price. Examples use a $20 sale, and a month of $1,000 from 50 such sales.

Paid plans pay for themselves as sales grow: Creator costs less than Free above about $634 a month in Page sales, and Pro costs less than Creator above about $3,000. Below that, the lower plan is the cheaper one. Stripe charges more for international cards (+1.5%), currency conversion (+1%) and instant payouts, and sets its own rates, so your actual fee can differ (Stripe pricing). Sales tax is collected from supporters on top and is not part of these figures. One-time USD tips from $5 to under $10 pay at most 5% Page fee, so they cost less than shown on Free.
Free answers Page questions, supporter notes and Loresta messages, drafted for you or sent from your saved answers. If you mostly sell on your Page, compare the subscription with the Page fees it saves.
Who each plan is for
Start on Free and move up only when a limit gets in your way. For $60 more a month, Pro adds 2 creator profiles instead of 1, 6 connected accounts instead of 3, 3,000 replies a month instead of 500, extra replies at $0.04 instead of $0.055, one teammate, and a 3% Page fee instead of 5%. If you sell under about $3,000 a month through your Page and stay inside Creator’s limits, Creator costs less.
Free: just starting
Build your Page, take payments and review drafts yourself. No monthly cost; 8% Page fee only when you are paid.
Creator: a solo creator with a busy inbox
Automated replies to Instagram and Facebook DMs in the categories you approve, 500 replies a month, 3 connected accounts and a 5% Page fee.
Pro: a serious creator, solo or with an assistant
For high Page sales or inbox volume: 3,000 replies a month, 6 connected accounts, 2 profiles, one teammate and a 3% Page fee, the lowest we offer.
Studio: a studio or bigger team
Team access for as many managers and assistants as you need, 8 profiles, 24 connected accounts and 10,000 replies a month. The Page fee is the same 3% as Pro; choose Studio for the team and capacity, not the fee.

How free replies and Page fees work
Free covers Page questions, supporter notes and Loresta messages, up to 300 replies a month under fair use. The count starts again on the 1st. Drafts you write yourself are never counted.
You choose whether Loresta drafts for you to send or answers on its own from your saved answers; anything unusual comes to you. Automatic DM replies need a paid plan, a connected inbox and the rules you approve. Approving reusable knowledge lets Loresta use it in replies; approving a draft sends only that one reply. The Page fee applies only to payments processed through your Page.
One-time USD tips from $5 to under $10 have a maximum 5% Page fee, including on Free. Paid plans with a lower fee keep their lower rate. Supporters can choose optional fee cover; it is never required.
Existing subscriptions keep their current billing price until the creator confirms a plan switch. New purchases use the prices shown here.
For comparison, Gumroad’s published direct-sale platform fee is 10% + $0.50. Both platforms handle sales-tax obligations as seller of record. Compare processing, subscription costs and supported products separately.
Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢ + 0.5% sales tax handling per successful US card charge, plus Stripe Billing’s 0.7% on memberships, see Stripe pricing) comes out of the creator’s share and goes to Stripe, not Loresta, on every plan. International cards, currency conversion and instant payouts cost extra, and Stripe sets those rates. Loresta adds any sales tax at checkout, pays Stripe’s payout fees, and passes any payment dispute fee on to the creator, returned if the dispute is won. Checkout currently sells USD support items to supporters in the countries offered at checkout, for creators paid in the countries offered in payout setup.
