The codebase was well documented and AI Agent friendly and security has been taken as a foundational component, not an afterthought as in many "vibe coded" products.

Your members pay you. Nobody takes a cut.
Paid tiers, free trials, and coupon codes running through your own Stripe account. There is no platform fee because the payments never touch us. That is what owning the software means.

Owner Reviews - The Receipts
Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
Every review 5 out of 5 on Trustpilot. These are Seedly owners on the code they were handed and whether I stood behind it. I build Seedly Communities the same way.

The ability to customize to the specific needs and functionality we need is immeasurably valuable.

The codebase made that far easier than it had any right to be: clear structure, sensible boundaries, and comments that explain why something works the way it does rather than restating the code.

You get the entire code base. So, you can just use Claude to add features or customize it any way you want.

Even if you do have some technical knowledge, what you're able to build on top of it and integrate with everything is just very impressive.

The code is well documented and has plenty of help steps along the way that make setup and installation much simpler than they would otherwise be.

Andrew has been fair, and sometimes more than fair, in his interactions I've seen with prospects and customers (including me).

The reason I love Seedly is ownership, because you own the codebase instead of renting and watching the provider change things constantly.

A true masterpiece of software that has a completely different model. You buy it, you own it, you have full control of it.

It's expertly packaged, which makes it easy to work and build with. I'm not too technical myself, so the ease of use for this is why I recommend it to even beginners.

What It Does
Everything you get, in the same source you own.
Membership tiers
Monthly and annual plans, as many as your model needs.
Free trials
Let members test the room before the card is charged.
Coupon codes
Fixed or percentage, single-use or multi-use.
Your own Stripe account
Checkout, payouts, and disputes on your Stripe, not a middleman's.
USD and GBP pricing
Price your tiers in either currency.
Self-service member billing
Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations without support tickets.
Invoice history
Members see their own payment records.
Dunning handled
Payment failures and trial expiries follow webhook-driven lifecycles. A member whose payment lapses loses paid content until they renew.
Tier-gated everything
Categories, courses, events, and livestreams all respect the tier.
A closer look
Seedly Communities, up close.
Free and paid tiers you control
Stack plans into a hierarchy, set monthly and annual prices, add a trial, and gate features by tier. Your own Stripe account collects the money with zero platform cut.
Tune every plan without a developer
Edit pricing, descriptions, gated features, and upgrade rules from one panel. Change what a tier unlocks and the whole community enforces it.
The math
What the platform cut costs you over five years.
Skool Hobby10% of revenue$12,000
Whop~5.7% effective~$6,840
Heartbeatup to 5%up to $6,000
Circle1 to 2% on top of Stripeup to $2,400
Seedly Communities0% platform fee, $399 once$399 once
Five years at $2,000 a month of member revenue, platform cut only. Stripe's own processing fee applies on every platform and is excluded. Competitor fees as publicly listed July 2026, they drift, verify before you rely on them.
How It Works
In plain English.
1
Connect your Stripe
Your account, your keys, your payouts.
2
Build your tiers
Pricing, trial length, and what each tier unlocks.
3
Members subscribe in the community
Hosted checkout, self-service billing after.
4
Keep 100%
No platform percentage exists in the code. There is nothing to waive.
A platform that takes a percentage is a business partner you never chose.
Walk the fee table. Skool takes 10% on its $9 Hobby tier or 2.9% on Pro. Circle and Mighty Networks take 1 to 2% on top of Stripe's own fee. Heartbeat takes up to 5%. Whop's effective take lands near 5.7%. Kajabi now charges 0.5 to 5% just for using an outside processor.
At $2,000 a month of member revenue those cuts are real money, forever, and they scale with your success. This platform takes 0% because it structurally cannot. Checkout runs on your own Stripe keys and there is no fee code to turn on. The whole platform is $399 once, and after that the only parties in your revenue are you and Stripe.
The only parties in your membership revenue should be you and Stripe.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is it really 0%? What is the catch?
Really. Payments run through your own Stripe account with your own keys, so there is no mechanism for us to take a percentage even if we wanted one. You pay Stripe's standard processing fee and nothing else. The catch, honestly, is that you run the platform yourself, which is the whole trade.
What happens when a payment fails?
The platform handles the lifecycle through Stripe webhooks. Failed payments and expiring trials follow the rules you set, and members can fix their own billing from their account page instead of emailing you. A member whose payment lapsed or was refunded keeps their plan, so the renew button works, but cannot open paid content. A full refund or lost chargeback shows up on the Failed Enrollments admin page, and you decide whether to cancel the subscription.
Can I offer free trials and coupons?
Yes. Trial length is per tier, and coupons can be fixed or percentage, single-use or multi-use. Both are built in, not add-ons.
Do I need my own Stripe account?
Yes, and that is a feature, not a footnote. Checkout, payouts, disputes, and customer records all live in your Stripe account from day one, so your payment history is never hostage to a community platform.
Can members upgrade or cancel themselves?
Yes. Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations are self-service from the member's own account page, along with their invoice history. Fewer support tickets for you.
What currencies are supported?
USD and GBP today. That is the honest list, not a euphemism for everything.
How do tiers gate content?
Categories, courses, events, and livestreams all respect membership tiers. Set what each tier unlocks and the platform enforces it everywhere.
