Studio Stax's Founding Member tier is $100/year. Here's what you get, what the Standard tier gets, and how to decide which makes sense for your tool.

|---|---|---|
| Annual price | $100 | $150 |
| Full directory listing | ✓ | ✓ |

| Early access to new features | ✓ | — |
| SM-Give contribution | ✓ | ✓ |
Founding Member is cheaper AND includes priority ranking. Why?
Because the first cohort of listed tools is building the directory. Early listers take a bet on an unproven directory. The priority ranking and badge are the reward for betting early.
Is $100/year worth it for a tool builder?
The real question is: what's one relevant customer worth to your tool?
If one closed sale from a Studio Stax referral pays for the listing, it's worth it. Most B2B tools in the creator space close deals worth $100–$2,000/year. One referral = payback.
Studio Stax is not a mega-directory with millions of visitors. It's a curated, growing directory with a specific audience of creators and builders actively looking for tools.
Listing fees contribute to SM-Give — SocialMate's charitable fund. So your listing also contributes to helping homeless individuals, single parents, and underprivileged schools.
If your tool is aligned with the creator economy mission, that context matters.
