Long time Ko-Fi member! It's how I've collected tips from the Product Hunt community for many years, long before the Creator Economy was a thing! This is a smart and necessary evolution.
@chrismessina Thanks Chris, your input really helped us shape Ko-fi from the very start!
Hey Product Hunt,
We’re so happy to announce that Ko-fi Memberships are here!
With Ko-fi Memberships creators can build a reliable monthly income by letting fans offer support at different tiers and unlock unique benefits like Discord roles, exclusive content or physical rewards.
Everything in One Place
Creators earn over $40m a year on Ko-fi and our mission is to make it the easiest, friendliest and most flexible way to make an income. From a single page creators can now take donations, build a recurring membership income, set a crowdfunding goal and sell products or requests/commissions.
Manage Memberships
We’ve built the tools to track your membership growth, lock content to specific tiers, message members directly, automatically offer Discord roles for different tiers, connect other apps with zapier and download member information whenever you need it.
Keep More of Your Money
Choose either a low platform fee or a fixed monthly subscription with no platform fee at all!
- $0 per month + 5% of membership sales
- $6 per month + 0% of membership sales with a Ko-fi Gold subscription
(normal payment provider fees also apply)
With both options payments are instant and direct into the creators PayPal or bank account (via Stripe). No middle-man, extra fees or minimum balances.
We would love you to try Ko-fi Memberships, and you never know we might be your first member. We’re joining a new creator’s Membership Tier every day of August. Just share your memberships page on social with #KofiMemberships.

@simonellington Congratulations on the launch!
Seems like Ko-fi is intended on helping its users keep more of their money, I've added Ko-fi to my curated list of startup tools at StartupToolchain - https://startuptoolchain.com/#pa...
@anna_0x That depends on your location, but it's usually just seen as commercial income the same way as a freelance project etc.
I am on the journey to create audience for the content I create. This product looks so promising and as well as simple to its core. I will definitely be on this platform once I reach fare share of audience.
Congratulations on the PH launch! ⚡️
Does it have Membership widget that we can embed on our website directly, something like Gumroad widget
@indieahmed We do have a donation widget and a donation panel, but we don't yet have a specific Memberships one, but it's something we will probably add in the future.
Ko-fi is incredible and this feature helps it come even closer to a one-stop shop for all creators. Clean, easy, and extremely effective
I love Ko-fi so much. It finally gave me the last capability Patreon had over it (though I was never a Patreon creator) and it lets me keep track of which of my supporters get what. As an Ambassador, it also made me happy that I could finally fully pitch Ko-fi as a better alternative to Patreon (and BMAC which copies Ko-fi all the time).
