Founding 500

$100 once.
Then never again.

The first 500 artists keep 100% of the first $25,000 they sell every year — for as long as they have the account. No monthly fee. No cut.

Everybody who joins after pays 7% of every sale. That's a fair deal. This is a better one, and it only exists 500 times.

347 spots left of 500

153 artists have claimed theirs.

One payment. No subscription. Cancel nothing, because there's nothing to cancel.

What $100 buys

Five things, and the honest terms on all of them.

1

0% commission on your first $25,000 a year. Forever.

Merch, tickets, music, memberships, queue slots — the first $25,000 you sell each year, you keep every cent of. Everyone who joins after the 500 pays 7% from the very first dollar. This resets every year, for as long as you have the account.

If you ever go past $25,000 in a year, the normal 7% applies only to what's above it — and you'll have made your $100 back roughly seventeen times over by then.

2

No monthly fee, ever

Not $29, not $9, not anything. You paid once. When we launch paid plans, you're already above them. Your $100 is the last money you send us.

3

We set your first drop up with you

On a call, together, until it's live and taking money. Not a help article — an actual person, walking through your page, your first product and your first send with you. This is the part most people need and nobody offers.

4

Every feature, as it ships

Store, tickets, memberships, texting, Playbooks, the fan database — everything on the roadmap, included, the day it's ready. No upgrade prompts, no locked buttons.

5

Your name on the founding wall

A permanent, public list of the 500 artists who were here first. When people ask how long you've been doing this, there's a receipt.

The maths

When does $100 pay for itself?

Everyone outside the 500 pays 7% of what they sell. So the question is just how long it takes your 7% to add up to a hundred dollars. Drag it and see.

$600

Merch, tickets, beats, features, downloads, memberships — anything you sell to a fan.

7% would cost you

$42/mo
In one year$504
In five years$2,520
Founding member pays$0 after the $100

It pays for itself in 3 months.

Card processing (about 2.9% + 30¢) is charged by the payment networks on every platform including this one, and isn't included above. That goes to the banks, not to us.

Side by side

Free is good.
This is better.

You can start on Hypetize for nothing at all, today, and never pay us a cent until you sell something. That offer isn't going anywhere. This one is.

After you pay

You're not left with a login and good luck.

WITHIN MINUTES

Your page is live

Pick your name, add a photo, and you've got a link you can put in your bio today. It looks like you have a team behind you.

WITHIN 48 HOURS

We get on a call

We go through what you're dropping next and build the campaign with you — the product, the price, the link, the message. You watch it get made.

THEN

You get paid

Money goes to your bank account, not ours. Every fan who buys becomes a contact you keep, so the next drop starts ahead of this one.

The fine print, in plain English

No asterisks. Here's exactly what you're buying.

We'd rather you know all of this now than find it out later. It is short, and there is nothing hidden in it.

0% on your first $25,000 each year

Across everything — merch, tickets, music, memberships, queue slots. The allowance resets every year and never runs out. Past $25,000 in a single year, the standard 7% applies to the amount above it only. Everyone outside the 500 pays 7% from dollar one.

Use it or lose it after 12 months

If your account sits completely unused for 12 months — nothing sold, nothing posted, no login — the founding rate ends and you move to the standard free plan. We'll email you twice before that happens. Your page and your fan list stay yours either way.

It's yours, not transferable

The founding rate belongs to you and your account. It can't be sold, transferred or moved to somebody else's page. If you later run several artists, it applies to your own page — additional pages are priced normally.

What we can't change

We can't waive card processing — roughly 2.9% + 30¢ goes to the payment networks on every platform, including this one. And if we ever change the standard 7%, founding members stay at 0%. That part is not negotiable from our side.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a subscription?+

No. You pay $100 one time and that's the end of it. There is nothing to cancel and nothing that renews. If we launch monthly plans later, you're already above all of them.

What does "0% forever" actually mean?+

You pay no commission on the first $25,000 you sell in any year. That allowance resets every 1 January and never expires. Artists outside the 500 pay 7% from their very first dollar. If you go past $25,000 in a year, the standard 7% applies only to the amount above it — never retroactively, and your allowance comes back the following year.

What if I don't sell anything?+

Then $100 was a bad buy, and we'd rather tell you that now. If you're not planning to release, sell or promote anything in the next few months, start on the free plan instead — it costs nothing and it'll still be there when you're ready. This offer is for people with something coming.

What happens if I stop using it for a while?+

Nothing, for a year. If the account goes completely untouched for 12 months — nothing sold, nothing posted, no login — the founding rate ends and you drop to the normal free plan. We email you twice before it happens, and your page and fan list stay yours regardless. Come back and use it and you keep it.

Can I sell or transfer my founding spot?+

No. It belongs to you and your account. That is deliberate — the whole point of the 500 is that they are the 500, not a resale market.

Can I get a refund?+

Thirty days, no questions, no forms. Email us and it's back on your card. We'd rather refund you than have you resent us.

I'm under 18. Can I join?+

You can use Hypetize, but to get paid you need a payment account, and those require you to be 18 or to have a parent or guardian set one up with you. If that's your situation, message us before you buy and we'll sort it out properly rather than take your money and leave you stuck.

What happens when the 500 are gone?+

It closes and it does not reopen. Not as a "final chance," not next year, not for anyone. The whole point of being one of the 500 is that there are only 500. If we broke that, it would be worth nothing.

The product isn't finished. Why would I pay now?+

Because that's exactly why it's $100 instead of a monthly fee forever. You're early, the store and the fan database work today, and everything else lands as it ships. If you want a finished product with no risk, wait — and pay 7% of everything you ever sell.

Who is behind this?+

A small team who got tired of watching artists build audiences they weren't allowed to contact. You'll be talking to us directly, not a support queue. That's a real perk at this size and it goes away as we grow.
