Many Steady creators requested the ability to increase prices of existing memberships to survive this period of inflation.

Some projects on Steady have not been able to increase their prices for almost 7 years, since Steady launched in 2016 – when inflation in the EU was near an all time low of 0.2%.

Your suggested new price is stated in your email or in your Steady account.

The default suggested price increase is 20%, rounded up to the nearest 50 cents. However, based on the individual creator's situation, they might have chosen a different price increase.

Example: your membership costs €5 per month. With an increase of 20% (rounded up to nearest 50 cents), your new price would be €6.

The cumulative inflation in the E.U. from the end of 2020 until the end of 2023 is 19.9% (see table at the bottom of the page).

A creator needs to increase their project’s net income by at least 20% in order to maintain the same effective income as they did when they created their membership programme.

No. It is optional to increase your membership fee. You can continue to pay the same as you already do. In that case you don't have to do anything and will remain on your current membership price. There is no need to cancel.

We are giving creators the opportunity to raise their prices in order to cover their increased running costs and secure their project’s future. The extra money is intended to help creators survive this difficult economic time.

Steady’s suggested 20% increase only accounts for cumulative inflation and does not significantly increase the creator’s profit. Rest assured, the extra money is to help the creator to sustain their project into the future.

That is up to the creator. They may produce an extra piece of content as a thank you, but they have no obligation to do so. The idea is to relieve some of their financial stress, rather than create more work for them. If you are interested in additional content or other member benefits, check if there is a bigger membership plan available you could upgrade to.

This is a one-off price increase to account for current inflation. There are no further price increases planned on behalf of Steady.

Yes, you can increase your membership contribution at any time, but why not do it now?
