Our take
One page that handles voicemail, tips, paid perks, email capture, and recurring subscriptions. Free to start, with Fanlist taking 7% on transactions on top of Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30. Cleaner than stitching together SpeakPipe plus Buy Me a Coffee plus Patreon, less polished than each of those specialists individually.

In depth
Fanlist is the one-page-does-everything fan engagement platform built for creators who don't want to glue together five tools to interact with an audience. The free hosted page accepts audio messages (the absorbed PodInbox product), one-time monetary tips, message tips (pay to have your message featured), digital perk purchases, recurring premium subscriptions where fans get bonus episodes or AMAs, and email capture from page visitors.
The leaderboard gamifies fan engagement by ranking top supporters, which lands well with audiences who enjoy a bit of competitive identity. The pricing model is simple: free to use, no subscription fees, Fanlist takes 7% of any money you collect and Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + $0.30 on top.
That works out to roughly 10% all-in before factoring chargebacks. Compared to assembling SpeakPipe + Buy Me a Coffee + Patreon + ConvertKit yourself, Fanlist is dramatically simpler and the math often comes out close enough.
The trade-off is that each individual feature is less polished than the dedicated alternative — voicemail moderation is thinner than SpeakPipe, subscription content delivery is less polished than Memberful or Patreon. Good fit for indie shows that want a single "engage with us" link in show notes and don't want to think about it.
