TAG - Pricing
Built by working artists to fix what's broken. We're stronger together — and we're inviting you to join us.
Twisted Artists Guild (TAG) is a low-profit cooperative platform designed to center artists. We exist to create shared success for independent creators through artist-built tools, fair pricing, and shared community infrastructure.

Free Artist Profiles — For Hobbyists & Early Sellers
You don't need to sell anything to belong here. Free artist profiles are available to every artist, forever — no credit card, no trial period, no catch.
Artists may register one or more artist personas to represent different creative identities, styles, or mediums.
What You Can Do on the Free Tier
- Build a professional artist profile and portfolio
- Create listings and set prices for your work
- Use core business tools needed to sell, including:
- CRM tools to manage conversations and inquiries
- Shipping tools to prepare fulfillment
- Core workflows to accept offers or negotiate commissions
Free Until You Sell — Bridge to Membership
If a hobbyist artist makes sales on the free tier, a $5 fee is added to each of the first two sales per calendar month, for a maximum of $10 per month.
This bridge fee:
- Covers that month's Artist Membership dues
- Allows artists to sell before committing to a paid subscription
- Automatically transitions into the standard monthly membership once sales are consistent
If no sales occur, no fee is charged.
Artist Membership — Activate Full Access
Artist Membership unlocks full selling capabilities, expanded tools, and long-term Guild benefits.
Your membership directly funds vendor subscriptions and platform development — keeping TAG independent, artist-run, and free from billionaire investors.
Monthly Plan — $10 / month
Designed to be paid via debit, keeping costs low and predictable.
This is the same $10 typically covered by the bridge fee once an artist makes two sales in a month.
Annual Plan — $120 / year
One predictable payment for the full year, with the same access and benefits as the monthly plan, billed once.
Annual discounts are planned as the platform matures.
Transaction Fees
- A 6.5% transaction fee applies to items processed through TAG checkout
- Approximately 3% covers credit card processing fees we pay on your behalf
- The remaining ~3.5% supports platform operations
No transaction fees on:
- Member-recorded cash sales
- Sales made on other platforms (which we're happy to help track for bookkeeping)
No listing fees. No expiration on listings. Archive your work forever and sell duplicates, editions, or merchandise with ease.
Extended Services: Cost + Minimal Margin
As TAG grows, optional extended services are planned using a simple model: vendor cost plus a minimal operating margin, so access remains sustainable and artist-first.
TAG facilitates access to these services and does not operate as the insurer or financial institution.
