What is a plan?

A plan is how you support a publication on Steady — you pay a set price, usually monthly, and often receive a benefit in return.

Luca Blaser·September 17, 2026

A plan is what you choose when you support a publication on Steady. It sets how much you pay and what you get in return.

If you support a publication

You pick one of the publication’s plans and pay its price regularly, usually once a month. In return you usually receive a benefit as a thank-you for your support. Each plan has a fixed price set by the publication, so you can’t set your own amount.

If you run a publication

You gain members by offering plans to your audience. For each plan you set a fixed price, which members pay regularly (usually monthly). A plan can also include benefits for your members, but it doesn’t have to.

Monthly and annual plans

Every plan runs either monthly or annually. With an annual plan, members pay once a year instead of once a month, and it may cost less than paying monthly – though it doesn’t have to. You can cancel a monthly plan anytime during the month to avoid paying for the following month; an annual plan can be cancelled anytime during the year.
