CommsOpen

Artists should keep what they earn

Keep 98% of what you earn.

CommsOpen takes just 2%—less than the 5–10% platform fees charged by many major creator marketplaces. No monthly fee. No mystery deductions.

Planned launch estimate

On a $30 sale, the artist keeps about $28.23.

We plan to use Stripe Connect for creator payments. This estimate combines CommsOpen’s 2% fee with Stripe’s current U.S. domestic-card rate, shown separately because they are separate costs.

Open creator setup

Made for commission culture

Not another generic storefront.

The best commission experiences feel personal without becoming messy. CommsOpen is being shaped around the real way artists and commissioners already work.

01

A brief both sides can trust

Clear scope, references, pricing, and expectations before the work starts—without chasing context across a dozen messages.

02

Updates that actually arrive

A mobile-first home for status changes, approvals, and delivery milestones, with dependable email notifications as a launch requirement.

03

Keep what you earn

Just 2% to CommsOpen and 98% to the artist before standard payment processing. No subscription and no hidden platform deductions.

Licensing that respects creators and open source

Make studios choose the license they actually need.

CommsOpen separates GPL-covered Blender code from independently licensable assets, services, support, and other rights—then records what the buyer declared and purchased.

Build a license plan Read the licensing guide
Creator protection, built on evidence
  • Clear component boundaries

    Identify the code, assets, files, services, support, and rights in each product.

  • Studio-use declaration

    Collect organization, team, seat, intended-use, and buyer-role details.

  • Versioned evidence

    Preserve the displayed terms, buyer attestation, selected tier, and receipt.

  • A fair upgrade path

    Correct an honest personal-versus-studio mistake before a dispute escalates.

We will never pretend personal or studio restrictions can be attached to GPL-covered Blender Python. Tiered terms apply only to genuinely separate value a creator has the right to license.
