Platform Fees: What Creators Pay (and Don’t Pay)

One of the most important principles on Lemyi is simple and non-negotiable:

Creators do not pay platform fees to Lemyi.

There is no commission taken from your earnings, no percentage deducted from your deal amount, and no hidden charges introduced after work is completed. The amount shown in your deal is the amount you earn.

This is not a promotional promise. It is how the system is designed.


Creators keep 100% of their deal amount

When a creator accepts a deal on Lemyi:

  • The deal amount shown is the creator’s full earning

  • That amount is never reduced by Lemyi

  • There is no service fee, commission, or percentage cut

  • There is no subscription required to earn

If a deal is worth ₱10,000, €150, or $500, that full amount belongs to the creator.

Lemyi does not touch creator earnings.


Platform fees exist — but creators do not pay them

Lemyi operates on a brand-paid platform fee model.

This means:

  • Brands pay the platform fee

  • The platform fee is added on top of the deal amount

  • The platform fee is paid as part of the brand’s invoice

  • Creator earnings are never used to cover platform costs

The platform fee supports:

  • Job review and quality control

  • Deal verification and safeguards

  • Payment-first protection for creators

  • Ongoing platform operations

Creators benefit from these protections without being charged for them.


What creators might still see on invoices or summaries

Creators may occasionally see references to platform fees when viewing deal summaries or invoices that brands receive. This is expected and normal.

Important clarification:

  • These fees are paid by the brand

  • They are not deducted from creator earnings

  • They do not change your payout

Creators never need to calculate, negotiate, or explain platform fees.


Bank transfer and payment processing fees (important clarification)

While Lemyi does not charge creators any platform fees, creators should be aware of one separate category of fees that Lemyi does not control.

Depending on how you receive your payout, your bank or payment provider may apply:

  • Bank transfer fees

  • Wire transfer fees

  • Currency conversion fees

  • Intermediary bank charges

These fees:

  • Are charged by banks or payment providers

  • Are not set by Lemyi

  • Are not collected by Lemyi

  • Are typically small and standard in international payments

For example, if your bank deducts a small processing fee when receiving a transfer, that deduction comes from your bank, not from Lemyi.

Lemyi does not add or increase these fees.


Why this distinction matters

It’s important to separate:

  • Platform fees (what Lemyi charges)
    from

  • Transfer or banking fees (what financial institutions may charge)

Lemyi’s promise is clear:

  • Lemyi charges creators 0% commission

  • Lemyi does not deduct fees from creator payouts

Any minor variation in the final amount received is related to banking infrastructure, not platform economics.


Why Lemyi chose this model

Many platforms monetize creators directly through:

  • Percentage-based commissions

  • Withdrawal fees

  • Paid visibility or bidding systems

  • Subscriptions required to earn

These models often create:

  • Downward pressure on pricing

  • Spam applications

  • Unpaid or underpaid work

  • Creators competing on volume instead of quality

Lemyi intentionally avoids this.

By not charging creators:

  • Pricing stays fair

  • Quality is rewarded

  • Applications are more thoughtful

  • Creators can focus on the work, not the math

This leads to healthier relationships and better outcomes for everyone involved.


No surprise deductions, ever

Once a deal is active:

  • Creator earnings are locked

  • No new platform fees are introduced

  • No deductions appear later

  • No retroactive changes occur

If a deal is worth a certain amount, that amount remains yours from start to finish.


If something looks unclear

If you ever encounter:

  • A payout amount that looks incorrect

  • A fee that appears to affect your earnings

  • A brand asking to change payment terms outside the platform

Do not proceed without clarification.

You can always contact [email protected] or start a chat with us. We will review the situation and make sure your earnings are protected.


Lemyi is built so creators can focus on creating, not worrying about fees.
You earn what you agree to earn.
Lemyi handles the rest.
