Example
On Free, the applicable Cabana creator fee is $125. On Growth or Scale with no prior applicable fees that month, it is $12.50. At $40,000 in applicable Direct Engagement payments, Growth and Scale reach the $200 creator-level monthly cap. These are Cabana fees only; processor charges and taxes remain separate, so they are not final net payouts.
A public fixed-term Creator Call uses the brand-paid per-hire model. A custom negotiated Direct Engagement uses the creator’s plan rate. A Creator Gallery inquiry is not automatically a Creator Call, and the two models are never charged on the same engagement. Importing a record does not itself trigger a fee; externally paid imported deals remain unresolved.
On Growth and Scale, Cabana charges a 0.5% Direct Engagement fee until your total applicable Cabana deal fees reach $200 in a calendar month. After that, Cabana charges no additional applicable deal fees for the rest of that month. Payment processor fees may apply separately.
The marketing calculator describes the approved pricing direction only. Billing enforcement is not live. Qualifying-hire timing, externally paid imported deals, cancellation, refunds, taxes, and processor-fee handling still require product and legal decisions before launch.
For a Direct Engagement, the brand pays no Creator Call hiring fee and the creator pays the applicable plan fee. For a Creator Call, the brand pays the graduated per-hire fee and the creator pays zero Cabana Call commission. Processor charges and taxes remain separate.
Importing a deal record does not itself trigger a fee. The fee treatment for externally paid imported deals has not been finalized and requires a clear billing and legal policy before launch.
