Overview
Creating a Beam profile is free. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no hidden charges. When a paid session is completed, Beam takes a 10% platform fee. You keep 90%.
How the fee works
When a client books a paid session with you, they pay the full amount upfront. After the session is completed, Beam deducts a 10% platform fee and pays out the remainder to you at the end of the month.
The fee applies to all completed paid sessions — whether booked through your personal Beam link or through the Lead Pool.
