Your app stays live until the end of your billing period. After that, you can drop to the Free plan (10 users) or pause the app โ€” but in either case you keep your full subscriber list and Stripe relationship. Your members aren't locked inside our platform.

Patreon takes 8โ€“12% of every payment and your members live on patreon.com. Circle and Skool are great communities but they're web-first with no native app of your own. AppBuild.diy gives you a fully branded standalone app โ€” your icon on the home screen, push notifications you control, and zero commission on memberships (your Stripe, your money).
