| Recurring Memberships | On a schedule you control, against a stored credential, until the member cancels or the card fails. | 20% is typical where large adult-content subscription platforms are concerned; mainstream creator platforms charge 8%-12%. | The predictable base. Every other line in this table is really measured by whether it makes this one renew. |
|---|
| Locked Posts Per Purchase | A one-off charge to an existing member, without changing their tier. | The platform's standard rate applies, and 20% is the norm for the category. | Raises revenue per member without raising the price of membership, which is the safest way to grow ARPU. |
|---|
| Messages for a Fee | Per locked message or paid reply, drawn from the wallet or the card on file. | In this category the platform's standard rate is 20%. | The highest revenue-per-member surface, and the one most closely tied to whether a member renews. |
|---|
| Tips and Gifts | Ad hoc, funded from the wallet, on no billing schedule at all. | Standard rate, though operators frequently take less on this line. | A renewal signal before it is a revenue line. A member who tips this month rarely lapses next month. |
|---|
| Spending From Balance | A stored balance topped up once and drawn down across later purchases. | The commission is taken when money is spent, not when the wallet is topped up. | A funded wallet is a commitment already made. It compounds lifetime value and it survives a declined card better than a live charge does. |
|---|
| Live and Private Sessions | Paid entry or a private request, booked and charged per session. | The standard rate applies to entry and to tips taken during the session. | Often the reason a member upgrades tier rather than lapses out of boredom. |
|---|
| Calls and Shoutouts | A booked slot at a price the creator sets. | The booking value carries the standard rate. | Highest ticket, lowest volume. Needs scheduling, refunds and dispute handling, all of which touch the renewal record. |
|---|
| Commerce, Ads and AI | Storefront orders, coupons, featured placement, paid boosts and AI persona credits. | Commission on orders; placements and boosts priced flat; AI credits operator-priced, with no market rate established yet. | The lines that do not depend on a membership at all, which is what carries revenue through a soft renewal month. |
