Studio Stax Founding Member Tier: What You Get and Why It Matters

The early supporter tier for the creators who believe in the marketplace early.

📅 April 28, 2026⏱ 1 min read

Founding Member ($100/year)

  • Priority placement in search results
  • "Founding Member" badge on your profile
  • Locked-in rate — price never increases for founding members who stay active
  • Direct admin line for feature requests

    • Standard ($150/year)

  • Full marketplace listing
  • Standard search placement
  • All discovery features

    • Why the Founding Rate Is Lower

    Early members take on more risk (the marketplace is new, brand discovery volume is building). The lower price reflects that risk.

    How Renewals Work

    Both tiers renew annually. You'll receive renewal reminder emails at 30, 14, and 7 days before your listing expires. Use code **STAX20** for 20% off any renewal.
