Account and billing
Plans and fees
What Free, Author and Studio include, how many books each allows, and what you save paying yearly.
Updated
Every account starts on Free, which is for trying Lanternbee with up to 3 books. When you want to add more, move to Author, which has no limit. No plan takes a fee on your sales. The numbers are in the table below and on our pricing page.
Free
No monthly bill and no fee on your sales. You can have up to 3 books: drafts count, archived and deleted books don’t. To add another book after that, Lanternbee asks you to move to Author first.
Author
A monthly price, no fee on your sales, and no limit on books.
Studio
For authors with several pen names, or with an assistant or a team. On Studio you can:
- run more than one store under one login, one per pen name, and switch between them from the sidebar;
- invite people to your team. Each person logs in with their own email and password and works on all your stores.
The Studio plan is not on sale yet. See the pricing page.
Monthly or yearly
Author and Studio can be paid every month, or once a year at a lower monthly price. The table shows both.
Stripe’s fee is separate
Stripe charges its own fee on each payment, on every plan. That goes to Stripe, not to us. See connect your own Stripe account.
