Pilot build — test money only. Cards are never charged.

Charge pennies for your writing.

Put a 5p–£1 price — or pay what you think it's worth — on a single piece and share an ordinary link.

For writers

  1. Paste your writing. It's sealed in your browser before it leaves it.

  2. Set a price — 5p to £1, or pay what you think it's worth.

  3. Share the link anywhere.

You keep 98p in every pound. The 2% covers the rails. No subscription, no lock-in.

For readers

  1. 1. Tap the price on any piece.
  2. 2. First time only: 30 seconds — your email and one payment step.
  3. 3. Read. One tap works across every writer here.

What this is, honestly

A reader who pays can copy the words — just as a friend might photograph a newspaper page. We're not selling a lock; we're selling convenience at an honest price. We say so here because honesty is the product.

Questions

Where does a reader's money sit?
Depends which pilot group you're in. Balance readers: in a refundable balance. Tab readers: nowhere — you pay only after reading, when your tab reaches £5. (During the pilot: test money only.)
Why do some readers see a balance and others a tab?
We're honestly testing two ways to pay — a £5 balance you top up, and a tab that settles at £5. Same one-tap reading either way. The pilot's job is to find out which one people actually prefer; that's the version we'll build for real.
What does the writer keep?
98p in every pound, credited the moment someone reads. The 2% covers the payment rails. No monthly fee, no hidden cut.
Is this some new kind of internet money?
No. Pounds and pence, on ordinary card rails. Nothing to install, no special account — just a tab or a balance here.
Can readers just copy the article?
Yes — like photographing a newspaper page. At 10p, convenience beats copying. We say this openly because we think it's true.
What do you know about me?
An email address. Tab-group readers also have a payment reference held at Stripe — we never see card numbers, just a reference used to settle the tab. Reading history is private, never sold, and deletable in one tap.
