Passes says creators keep about 90% on its homepage, but its Creator Terms say "We take a 20% fee of all credit/debit Sales." Read the terms before you sign up.

For TikTok, Shorts and Reels creators
Neither app replaces your short-form feed. You post on TikTok or Reels and send fans to a paid page through your bio link. At 20%, $1,000 of fan spend leaves you $800 on either platform. If Passes applies only the homepage 10%, you would keep $900. That $100 gap is why the written fee matters.
How to choose
- Get the current fee from each platform in writing.
- Confirm you meet the age rule (18+ on Passes).
- List what you will sell: DMs only, or merch and calls too.
- Pick the one whose tools match that list.
