The Patreon alternative
that lets you keep 100%.
Patreon is great for membership posts, but it takes a percentage of your earnings and lives on its own pages. Drry gives you a branded space with real courses and a community feed, and you keep 100% of what members pay.

- Payments run through your own Stripe account, so your customers and subscriptions belong to you, not the platform. No payment lock-in.
- Funnels built in: fast landing pages on your domain with views, joins, and revenue attributed per page. Standalone funnel tools charge $49 to $97 a month for less.
- A genuinely free tier: 100 members, 5 GB storage, unlimited courses, and the community feed, with no card required.
- Courses, a community feed, members, and payments in one branded space you own.
