Facet Cloud

Facet Cloud is for creators who are tired of running a website builder, a course host, a newsletter tool, a community app and a checkout side by side. It puts all of them in one site on your own domain. You can publish pages and a portfolio, sell courses and memberships, run a members-only community, send a newsletter, and take payments. Payments go straight to your own Stripe account, and your domain, customers and subscriber list stay yours, so you can export and leave whenever you like. What makes it different: pricing, platform fees and limits are published up front. Studio charges a 3% fee on content sales capped at US$99 a month, and Creator has no Facet platform fee. Every plan has a 30-day free trial (card required). It's built and run by a two-person team in New Zealand.

Facet combines a website builder, course host, newsletter tool, community spaces, and checkout on a creator’s own domain. It lets creators present different pages to different audiences and publish portfolios, courses, posts, and offers from one platform. Users can connect their own Stripe account to sell content and memberships, while customer relationships and payouts remain in that account. The page positions Facet as a way to replace a patchwork of separate creator tools. Users start with a blank site or résumé, add existing writing, media, courses, and offers, then choose a theme and arrange sections. They can create audience-specific views on the same site, publish pages, and build courses with modules, lessons, assessments, and completion tracking. To sell, users connect a Stripe account and can gate posts, launch courses, offer memberships, ticket events, or send coupons. Newsletter broadcasts can be composed, scheduled, and sent from the platform. Facet is presented for creators and small creator-led businesses, including photographers, teachers, coaches, podcasters, and other people who publish work or sell offerings. The page describes portfolios, courses, newsletters, communities, coaching, events, memberships, and paid content as supported activities. Its notable distinction is that these tools run together on a domain the creator owns, connect to the creator’s Stripe account, and support audience-specific views without maintaining separate sites.
