What’s new

Always getting better.

44 features since ByUs opened in August 2026, and more on the way. Here’s everything we’ve added, newest first.

October 2026

  1. Ask a question right from the Help Center. Signed-in creators and fans get their own assistant, which can look at their account; everyone else gets answers straight from the Help Center.

  2. Your dashboard now looks at your page and suggests your next three steps. The guides are a 12-step path with four new guides, and three quick questions tell you where to start.

  3. Guides, a toolkit of recommended gear and apps, and a calculator that shows what you’d take home at any price and how many members you need for your goal.

  4. Automations

    Creators

    Send new members and new posts to Zapier, Make or a Discord channel. Add members to your email list or announce new posts without lifting a finger.

  5. A ready-to-paste thank-you list for the end of a video or your show notes. Members choose whether they’re named.

  6. Pick a short video for each tier. New members see it at the top of your page and in their welcome email.

  7. Show your ByUs page at a domain you own, like yourname.com, with the secure certificate set up for you.

  8. The mics, editing apps, streaming and design tools we recommend, many of them free.

  9. Fans can ask for a refund right from their dashboard, and ByUs reviews every request.

  10. One fan pays for 2 to 10 people in a single membership, with an optional group discount you set.

  11. Fans can gift 3, 6 or 12 months of a membership, delivered by email on the day they choose.

  12. Members can message the creators they support. Creators can also offer paid messages, charged only if they reply.

  13. Offer 15, 30 or 60-minute calls for coaching, lessons or Q&As. The fan’s card is held, not charged, until the call happens.

  14. Comments

    Everyone

    Members can comment on posts, and creators can turn comments off or block someone from commenting.

  15. Write now, publish later. Members are notified when the post goes live.

  16. Let non-members buy one members-only post, or a whole series together for one price.

  17. Upload episodes as audio posts. Members listen on your page or in their own podcast app with a private feed.

  18. When you wrap up a stream, send your viewers to another creator who’s live right now.

  19. Members-only photos and videos carry a faint watermark with the viewer’s name, so a leaked copy can be traced.

  20. Cap how many members a tier can have, for personal perks that would get out of hand.

  21. Pick the day you’re back. Monthly members aren’t charged for renewals during your break.

  22. 13% to start and as little as 9% as your sales grow, with card processing always included. Founding creators pay 10%.

  23. Members get a personal link to invite friends, and can choose to be shown as a top referrer.

  24. A Popular tab that gives smaller creators a fair shot, alongside the newest posts.

September 2026

  1. Tiers start at $5 a month again. Tiers under $8 are billed yearly, so small payments aren’t eaten by card fees.

  2. Creator pages open on yearly pricing with up to 3 months free, and monthly members can switch to yearly later.

  3. Bring members over from another platform with their first ByUs charge delayed until what they already paid runs out.

  4. Give your page a banner and pin your best introduction to the top.

  5. Download your videos any time. Your work is always yours to take with you.

  6. Sales tax and VAT are added for fans where required, never taken out of the creator’s share.

  7. Fans can get a text when a creator they support posts something new.

  8. Discover

    Everyone

    A feed of public posts from creators across ByUs.

  9. Every member gets their own private feed for their podcast app.

  10. Blog import

    Creators

    Connect your blog’s feed and new articles appear on your page automatically.

  11. Members get your Discord role or Telegram group automatically, and lose it when their membership ends.

  12. Upload videos up to 90 minutes, played back in HD for your members.

  13. Free follows

    Everyone

    Fans can follow a creator for free before they’re ready to join.

  14. Sell PDFs, audio files, image packs and more, delivered securely to buyers.

  15. Page Coach

    Ask questions about setting up your page and get answers on the spot.

  16. The first 50 US creators keep 90% or more, for as long as they’re on ByUs.

  17. One-time tips with a message, a monthly support goal on your page, polls in posts, and emails to all your members.

  18. Live streams

    Creators

    Go live for your members with free streaming software.

  19. Create an account or log in in one tap.
