Estimates only, before tax. Yearly plans are paid once and spread over 12 months here. Substack's fee and Stripe's rates are the standard ones at the time of writing; cards from other countries and currency conversion cost more, and in-app purchases are priced differently. Refunds, founding members and cancellations aren't counted.
