Where Content Privée wins
Substack is the fastest way to start. Content Privée is the better way to keep what you build.
Keep the ten percent
At $10,000 a month in subscriptions, Substack's cut is $1,000 every month. A 1-year Content Privée license costs less than one such month, and takes nothing from your sales.

Grow past a newsletter

Own your paywall
One yearly license, every sale yours, and a publication on a platform that answers to you.
