Questions about blogs.

Still curious? Talk to us

Can I have free and paid subscribers?

Yes. You can run a free tier and one or more paid tiers, and choose which tier each post is for.

Can I see my recurring revenue?

Yes. Subscriptions shows monthly recurring revenue, churn over 30 days and who is canceling, past due or paused.

Can I add a subscriber who paid elsewhere?

Yes. Record a subscription by hand when it was paid outside Sherpo, so your numbers stay complete.

Do I own my subscribers?

Yes. Your readers and subscribers are yours, and you can export them at any time.

Can I put a post behind a paywall?

Yes. Any post can be public or sit behind a tier.

Will my posts show up in search?

Yes. Search engines and AI chatbots can read your public posts. Each one gets its own address, with a title and a description for search results. If you would rather keep them out, turn indexing off.

Can it run on my own domain?

Yes. On Pro and Sherpo One, you can bring your own domain. On Lite, your site always lives at yoursite.sherpo.io.

Can I move from Substack, beehiiv or Ghost?

Yes. Contact us and tell us what you are moving. Our team handles the move with you, content and customers included.

Does Sherpo take a cut of my blog sales?

No. Sherpo takes 0% of your sales on every plan. You pay a flat price, plus your payment provider’s standard processing fees.

Which plan do I need for blogs?

Lite, at $19 a month, is enough to start, and Sherpo hosts your site on every plan. Pro, at $49 a month, adds your own domain, white-label (no Sherpo branding), a self-hosted option in your own codebase and the full feature set.
