Stop paying for eight creator tools

What a creator earning $1,000 a month typically pays for link-in-bio, tips, downloads, bookings, AutoDM, email, overlays and analytics, and how one link replaces the stack.

Most creators don't decide to run eight subscriptions. It happens one tool at a time: a link page, then a tip jar, then a download store, then a scheduler, then an Instagram bot, then an email tool, then overlays, then analytics. Each one made sense on its own. Together they cost more than the income they were supposed to help.

The bill, honestly

Take a creator earning $1,000 a month and the published entry tier of each tool they'd usually stitch together.

  • Link-in-bio page: about $9 a month.
  • Tips and memberships: a 5% cut on that $1,000, so $50.
  • Digital downloads: a 10% cut, so $100.
  • Calendar bookings with payment: about $10.
  • Instagram AutoDM: about $15, plus about $29 for the AI add-on.
  • Email broadcasts: about $13.
  • Stream alerts and overlays: about $19.
  • Discord member roles: about $29.
  • Analytics: about $9.

That's roughly $283 a month, and the percentage cuts grow with you. Prices change and vary by tier, so check each tool's page, but the shape of the bill is the point.

What "one link" actually means

thx.so puts all of that behind one short URL and one dashboard. Not because bundling is clever, but because these tools share the same data. Your buyers are your subscribers are your commenters. When a tip, a sale, a booking and a DM rule all live in one place:

  • A fan who buys a download can be emailed about the next one without exporting a CSV.
  • A comment on Instagram can deliver the product link, and the sale shows up in the same order list.
  • A booking is a product, so it's in the same payout as everything else.
  • The analytics see the whole funnel, from page view to checkout, instead of one slice each.

What it costs instead

The Free plan is the whole product: your custom slug, tips, memberships, posts, goals, the shop with downloads and bookings, Instagram AutoDM with fixed-text replies, overlays, the embed widget and Discord roles, with a 0% platform fee. Pro is $8 a month for ten times the AI-written replies, branded checkout and analytics with funnels.

How to switch without losing anyone

You don't have to migrate. Keep your old links alive as long as you want, point new traffic at thx.so, and let the old tools lapse when their renewal comes up. Start with whichever tool costs you the most in fees, which for most creators is the download store, and move the rest one launch at a time.
