Benefits of upgrading to Quilltips Plus

What is Quilltips Plus?

Quilltips Plus is a monthly subscription for authors who want to go further. For $4.99 per month, you get unlimited book pages, ARC and beta reader tools, and a lower platform fee on tips and Shop sales. Shop formats — e-books, signed copies, and print books — are available on every plan.

Benefits included in Plus

• Unlimited book pages — Create as many book pages as you need at no extra charge. Great if you have a large backlist or plan to release frequently.
• ARC and beta reader signups — Collect advance reader and beta reader signups from each book page (and list those forms on your profile). Perfect for launch campaigns and building your street team.
• 10% platform fee — Pay 10% (instead of 15%) on Support tips and Quilltips Shop sales, plus Stripe's standard processing fee.

Included on Free (no Plus required)

• Wallpaper themes — Full set of wallpaper presets and custom backgrounds for your book pages and author profile.
• Events section — Add an events block to your profile so readers can see where you'll be — signings, conventions, virtual appearances, and more.
• Countdown clock on your profile — Display a release countdown on your author profile. A countdown on an upcoming book page is part of pre-sale — see Pre-sale book pages.

Is Plus right for you?

Plus is a good fit if you publish multiple books, run ARC or beta campaigns, or want the lower platform fee. If you're just getting started with one book and don't need the extra tools yet, the free tier is a great place to begin. You can always upgrade later — there's no lock-in.

The free tier includes one book page (live or pre-sale), Shop (e-books, signed copies, and print), wallpaper themes, profile events, and countdown clocks. Plus unlocks unlimited pages, ARC/beta, and the 10% fee — all for $4.99/month.

How to upgrade to Plus

Go to Settings → Payments in your dashboard. In the Quilltips Plus section, click "Upgrade to Plus — $4.99/mo." You'll be taken to Stripe Checkout to enter your payment details. Once the subscription is active, all Plus features unlock immediately. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from the same Payments tab.
