Sovereign Press Infrastructure

Own the Stack.
Keep the Revenue.

S**stack takes 10% of every dollar your readers send you — a perpetual tax on your audience, your craft, and your independence. Superstack is API-first publishing infrastructure: you pay wholesale for the pipes. You keep 100% of your subscriptions. You own everything.

Built for the
Sovereign Writer

Every feature you need to run a world-class publication — without a 10% rent check attached to your success.

Write in the Studio. Ship via API.

A full WYSIWYG web editor for writers who want a dashboard — and a complete REST + GraphQL API for developers who want to build their own. Both are first-class. Neither is a tax.

The Era of the
10% Tax is Over

"Writing is hard enough. Rent shouldn't be your biggest expense."

For years, platforms have told you they are your partners. Then they take 10% of your gross revenue. They charge you for your own success. They own the interface, they hide the data, and they lock you into a walled garden.

Superstack doesn't want a piece of your business. We want to be the engine that runs it. We are not a publisher. We are infrastructure.

Stablecoin native. Get paid in USDC or fiat. Borderless commerce for a global audience. API-first — your content isn't trapped in our template. Build anything on our rails.

The value of a modern media company isn't just the subscription; it's the intelligence. Superstack introduces the Data Exchange. When the network wins, your hosting bill goes to zero.

Gross annual revenue: $120,000.00  ·  S**stack annual tax: $12,000.00

Superstack costs based on $0.0001/email + $0 platform fee. S**stack fee is 10% of gross (their standard rate). Stripe payment processing fees (~2.9% + $0.30) apply on both platforms and are excluded from this comparison. Stablecoin payments bypass Stripe entirely.

Pay for Pipes,
Not Permission

No plans. No tiers. No platform fee. You pay only for the infrastructure you actually use — at wholesale cost.
