Start with the work your practice needs
An independent consultant, coach or tutor needs more than a way to charge for a conversation. A practice may also need a website, booking tools, client records, live sessions and follow-up communication. Ownlybiz combines these tasks in an expert dashboard, with different tools and allowances across its subscription plans.
A useful cost comparison separates the software bill from the cost of accepting client payments and from any services you still buy elsewhere. This article uses the current subscription offer for new subscriptions and explicitly confirmed plan changes. Existing contracts can retain their agreed terms; check your account before assuming a change applies.
The software subscription
Launch: $0 per month, no monthly subscription; graduated client-payment fees apply. Starter: $39 per month or $390 per year; Pro: $99 per month or $990 per year; Scale: $159 per month or $1,590 per year. Prices are in USD. Annual subscriptions cover twelve months and are billed once yearly; compare the actual upfront amount.

Choose the plan for the workflow you need. Buying a higher plan solely to reduce the stated payment percentage would not reduce that percentage under this offer.
The payment fee and what it covers
The current published fee is For paid subscription plans, 1.6% per successful payment as the Ownlybiz service fee for supported USD payments to US businesses. This is the Ownlybiz service fee only. Stripe deducts its actual processing, currency-conversion and other applicable charges from the expert’s connected account separately. Do not treat the Ownlybiz fee as an all-in rate or the amount before Stripe costs as final proceeds.
For one supported $100 payment, the current published fee is $1.60, leaving $98.40 before the software subscription, any separately charged Stripe costs and other applicable costs. The fee is rounded to cents per payment. This is illustrative arithmetic, not net profit or a promise of bank-payout amount or timing.
These examples cover supported client payments in USD to US-based expert businesses. Stripe determines applicable processing costs and payment-method eligibility. Business-country admission, account verification and accepted payment terms remain required. They are not a take-home-income guarantee.
A month with twenty payments
Paid subscription plan example only; Launch uses monthly marginal bands instead. Illustrative arithmetic, not a customer result: 20 successful supported payments of $50 total $1,000. At 1.6% per successful payment, each Ownlybiz service fee is $0.80 and the total is $16. The Ownlybiz fee is rounded to cents per payment. Stripe’s actual processing, currency-conversion and other applicable costs are additional and are not estimated here. Amounts before Stripe costs are not final proceeds. No refunds, disputes or other adjustments are assumed.
For one paid month with monthly billing, subscription plus these Ownlybiz service fees is Starter: $39 + $16 = $55; Pro: $99 + $16 = $115; Scale: $159 + $16 = $175. These are illustrative subtotals before Stripe’s actual charges, retained services, optional purchases and other applicable costs, not net profit or a payout forecast.
Payment count matters: the published rate is For paid subscription plans, 1.6% per successful payment as the Ownlybiz service fee for supported USD payments to US businesses. This example assumes twenty payments of exactly $50, no refunds or disputes, and no other adjustments. Use actual payments and their accepted fee terms when reconciling an account.
What the software trial changes
Launch has no monthly subscription and no software trial. Paid subscription terms: The current offer includes a one-time 2-calendar-month software trial. A card is required. Checkout confirms the exact first-charge date and recurring amount; cancel renewal before that date to avoid the first subscription charge. Changing plans does not restart the trial. Client-payment fees still apply.
Client-payment fees are separate from any software trial. The illustrative twenty supported $50 payments produce $16 in the published payment-fee component. Any separately charged Stripe costs are additional. Connecting Stripe itself does not trigger the Ownlybiz per-payment fee.
Creation AI credits per paid month — Starter: 0; Pro: 100; Scale: 300. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. Creation AI credits per trial month — Starter: 0; Pro: 0; Scale: 0. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. Included monthly credits do not accumulate. Check the dashboard for current purchasable credit packs and their prices; optional purchases are separate. An action may use several credits.
How session billing and prepaid credit fit
Live one-to-one chat, voice and video sessions use per-minute billing. Available prepaid client credit can fund eligible sessions. The payment fee applies to the supported purchase of credit; spending that credit later does not charge the payment fee a second time.
Per-minute sessions, fixed-session packages and prepaid credit serve different needs. Use only the formats enabled for your account and expert site, and confirm the published offer and checkout terms before advertising a purchase. A prepaid balance does not reserve an appointment.
1:1 voice/video minutes per paid month — Starter: unlimited; Pro: unlimited; Scale: unlimited. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. 1:1 voice/video minutes per trial month — Starter: unlimited; Pro: unlimited; Scale: unlimited. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. Group participant-minutes, including the host per paid month — Starter: 0; Pro: 0; Scale: 20,000. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. Individual sessions retain duration and service safeguards; check the dashboard for remaining usage.
Complete the budget before deciding
Add any retained email-provider costs, owned-domain registration or renewal, optional AI credit purchases, specialist tools and other applicable costs. Refunds, disputes, taxes or account-specific adjustments may affect actual results; use the terms and records for your account rather than assuming they are covered by this subtotal.
Email campaigns and journeys: included in the published Pro, Scale plans. Account eligibility and setup requirements still apply. Delivery uses your own connected email provider and its limits and charges. The included website address does not require an owned domain; a domain you choose to connect can carry a separate renewal bill.
Review the Pricing page, subscription terms and Checkout before committing. A clear price explains what is included and what remains to be budgeted; it does not establish that one platform is always cheaper or that a practice will earn more.
Are Stripe processing costs included in For paid subscription plans, 1.6% per successful payment as the Ownlybiz service fee for supported USD payments to US businesses?
The current published fee is For paid subscription plans, 1.6% per successful payment as the Ownlybiz service fee for supported USD payments to US businesses. This is the Ownlybiz service fee only. Stripe deducts its actual processing, currency-conversion and other applicable charges from the expert’s connected account separately.

How should I budget for the current software trial?
Launch has no monthly subscription and no software trial. Paid subscription terms: The current offer includes a one-time 2-calendar-month software trial. A card is required. Checkout confirms the exact first-charge date and recurring amount; cancel renewal before that date to avoid the first subscription charge. Changing plans does not restart the trial. Client-payment fees still apply. Creation AI credits per trial month — Starter: 0; Pro: 0; Scale: 0. Feature eligibility, account setup and operational limits still apply. Retained services and optional purchases can still have separate costs.
Can I treat the amount after the published payment fee as my profit?
No. The software subscription, preparation and delivery work, other business costs and applicable adjustments are separate. The worked example is a payment-fee calculation, not take-home income or a payout forecast.
