Your store: 0% platform fee

No platform cut on sales through your own traffic — just card processing, the same as Squarespace. The storefront earns its keep by listing your work automatically, not by taxing it.

Questions

Good to know.

Is the iOS app included?

Yes — it's part of every paid plan from Maker up. The phone is the daily studio interface; we don't gate it separately.

Can I export my data?

Always. Full export in JSON and CSV, any time. You should never lose your work to a tool you're leaving.

Where do you operate?

Launching in the US and the rest of the English-speaking world (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). The EU and beyond follow.

What does the free tier really get me?

A genuinely useful product — the full reference library, basic piece tracking, and a handful of AI plans per cycle. Enough to plan a small batch end to end.

How is this different from a website builder?

A website builder gives you pages. Claybench runs the studio behind them: planning, firing, tracking, and a store that lists itself from your production data.

Do annual plans save money?

Roughly two months free versus paying monthly — and you can switch billing any time.
