How is the iknowly platform fee structured?
iknowly applies a transparent, tier-based fee model designed to balance mentor earnings with platform sustainability.
The platform fee excludes VAT and already covers payment processing costs (Stripe), ensuring mentors receive clear, predictable payouts.
Fee structure:
| Price Range (€ / month) | iknowly Fee (net, excl. VAT + Stripe) | Fee Cap (net) | Effective Take Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| €1 – €99 | Flat €15 | — | 15–25% |
| €100 – €499 | 15% (max €65) | €65 | ~13–15% |
| €500 – €999 | 12% (max €100) | €100 | ~10–12% |
| €1 000 – €1 999 | 10% (max €150) | €150 | ≤10% |
| €2 000+ | 8% (max €200) | €200 | ≤8% |
This tiered structure ensures fairness for smaller memberships while rewarding higher-value collaborations with lower percentage deductions.
