Why Musicians Choose live.tips
Unlike other platforms that take a cut of your hard-earned tips, we believe every cent should go to you.
Zero Commission on Tips
We never take a percentage of your tips. 100% of what fans give goes to you (minus payment processing).
One Simple Monthly Fee
Just a flat service fee — about the cost of one meal per month. No surprises, no hidden charges.
Fully Transparent
Payment processors (like Stripe, MobilePay, etc.) charge a small processing fee — we have no control over it and receive nothing from it. That's the only deduction.
