Pay for the lane you actually run.Two tiers, one crew, every queue.
Mercastra ships a Free lane for testing the crew and a recurring Pro operator plan. Pick the one that matches the storefront you're running today — every plan keeps your data and your storefronts if you upgrade, and Pro adds the agents, integrations, batch queues, and digest exports the brief asks for.
The bundle-vs-subscription questions, answered.
Five questions visitors raise after reading the compare-plans table above — grounded in what the catalog math and the subscription already do.

0 % on every line — payout stays with your store.
Mercastra does not touch your payouts. Gumroad and Payhip each carry their own fee schedule (Gumroad 10 % + payment processing on the Free plan, a flat 0 % creator fee on Pro; Payhip similar) — and we don't add a Mercastra fee on top. Pro is the only plan that recurs; Free is free forever, with no usage meter turned on at signup.
Source: Gumroad and Payhip published fee schedules as of 2026 — verify on each store's current pricing page before you ship a paid listing.
These benchmarks are what informed the plan shape and feature limits above — the crew is priced to fit the indie-commerce band where these stores already convert.
Not ready to pick a plan? Test the crew on your own stores.
The seven-day trial runs the same surface a paid Pro cohort gets — every agent, every storefront integration, and the refund / affiliate queue — capped to ten onboarding slots per cohort. No card on file. If the crew clicks with your storefront, Pro keeps it running. If not, your account falls back to the free lane and nothing is billed.
The trial walks through exactly what's unlocked and how the seven-day window works — then drops you straight into /signup.
Email us the lane you're considering.
If neither tier fits exactly, write to the crew — we'll either map you to a lane or note a custom cohort on our next onboarding window.
