Free to start. Pay only when you get paid.

How much does Brillay take, and do I get paid before I deliver?

• • To accept paid orders, connect your bank through Stripe inside Brillay — you manage your payouts from Brillay rather than a separate Stripe dashboard.
• • The follower pays only the displayed price. Brillay charges an 8% platform fee on Paid Questions, Custom Work and Personalized Videos and 5% on Goals and Tips, and payment-processing fees are deducted separately from your earnings. Your earnings = what the follower paid, minus our platform fee and the processing fee.
• • Stripe pays you out to a local bank in your own currency, in any of the 41 supported countries.
• • If you refund a paid order, Brillay returns its platform fee; Stripe's processing fee is not returned. If you decline a request, or it goes unanswered in time, the follower's payment is returned.
• • The Follower Wall is optional. Brand inquiries are free and take no payment. Connecting your bank through Stripe is required before you can take paid offers.
• • Paid Questions, Personalized Videos, and Custom Work are one-time purchases with one delivery. The follower pays upfront and you deliver inside the reply or delivery time you set.

Worried followers will not pay—or that charging will feel awkward? Start with a clear offer such as a $5 Paid Question or a $3 Tip. Followers see one fixed price and can pay by card without creating an account.

What you are actually paying for

Each line is a structural fact about how Brillay is built.

• •Followers pay as guests: no follower account, no signup between the decision and the sale.
• •One-time payments, not memberships: nothing owed monthly, by the creator or the follower.
• •Nothing to make first: a creator can be live today and take an order before anything exists, because what is sold is the answer to one follower’s request.
• •Made for one person: every answer, commission or video is made for the follower who paid, not the same file for everyone.
• •Asynchronous: written replies on the creator’s own time — the first inside a window the creator sets, each follow-up within 24 hours — no live call, no scheduling, no time zone.
• •Price, scope and delivery time are published up front; the follower submits a brief and pays before work starts — no negotiation in DMs, no invoice to chase.
• •The follower never leaves the creator’s own page: no marketplace roster, no ranking, no application to be listed.
• •No follower minimum and nothing to apply for: it works from the first follower.
• •A Goal keeps every contribution whether or not the target is reached, has no deadline unless the creator sets one, and ships nothing.
• •No monthly fee: the platform fee exists only on orders that were actually paid, so growing costs nothing.
• •The work finishes: no members, roles or feed to keep running, and no payment that depends on publishing again.
• •Support arrives as money toward what the creator names, not as items from a list or rewards to fulfil.
• •Followers pay the creator’s page under the public name the creator chooses: that name is what they see on the page, at checkout, on their card statement and on their receipt, while the creator’s legal name goes only to Stripe for identity verification and payouts.
