Why 90 Sats Beats a $10 Subscription

Subscriptions assume every fan wants everything, every month. Most people want one photo. Lightning makes that price possible.

A $10/month paywall asks someone to join a club. A 90-sat unlock asks them to buy one picture. Those are different decisions. The second one happens on a phone, in a wallet they already have, without creating an account.

Cards cannot price a photo

Credit-card fees eat a $0.07 charge. Lightning does not. That is why FuzzPic prices in sats. You can sell a single image at a price that matches a glance, not a membership.

What works in practice

  • One strong image, one link, posted where people already are.
  • A pack when you have a set that belongs together.
  • Tips after unlock for people who want to leave more.

You keep 95% of the price you set. Buyers never give FuzzPic a password. If they do not unlock, they do not pay. If they do, you get paid in seconds.

Price one image and share the link.
