To be fair: fees aren't the whole story. Substack takes 10% only when you charge, and free publishing costs nothing. Every creator pays our 3.5% Launch rate on every service until 31 Dec 2027. After that, the fee depends on the service and last month's Volume; the Rate card is on our Pricing page. For writers in Bangladesh, the bigger difference is how readers pay and where the money lands.
