Pricing & fees
Free to list. We only earn when you do.
There are no listing fees and no subscriptions. Uploading, scrubbing, valuing, and publishing a project costs nothing. Cinderella takes a 24% commission on a sale — and only when a sale actually closes. On sales above $10,000 the rate slides down from there.
Worth knowing what that's measured against: the large marketplaces charge a listing fee of roughly $29–$699 up front — payable whether or not your project ever sells— and then take a success fee on top. We think charging you to find out that nobody wanted it is the wrong way round.
The numbers
| List a repo or idea | Free |
| Scrub + valuation | Free |
| Cindy (AI assistant & Cindy's Take) | Free |
| Commission when it sells | 24% up to $10,000, less above |
| Payment processing | Included in the commission |
The rate slides on bigger sales
24% is the rate on the first $10,000 of any sale. Above that it steps down — and like tax brackets, only the slice above each line pays the lower rate, so a bigger sale never earns you less than a smaller one.
| Sale price | You pay | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $8,000 | $1,920 (24%) | $6,080 |
| $25,000 | $6,000 (24%) | $19,000 |
| $100,000 | $24,000 (24%) | $76,000 |
Whatever rate your sale is struck at is stamped onto the deal at that moment. Changing our pricing later can never re-price a sale you've already agreed.
Free — for equity
Believe in a project more than you need cash for it? List it free in exchange for equity or rev-share instead of a price. Buyers propose terms, you negotiate, and there's no upfront commission on an equity deal — your upside rides with the project.
How payout works
Buyers pay into escrow, not straight to you. Funds are released to your connected Stripe account once the buyer confirms the hand-off — or automatically after a 7-day inspection window, so you can't go unpaid if a buyer simply forgets to click. More in Trust & safety.
