Kulcho

What Kulcho is

Kulcho provides Spaces, a ready-made membership and commerce platform, and Studio, bespoke infrastructure for custom member platforms. Spaces supports memberships, paywalled content, custom requests, tips, paid messaging and a content library. It runs in a browser on every device, so members do not need to download an app. Ticketing and live streaming are marked as coming soon. Spaces Starter is free and includes a hosted page on kulcho.com; Kulcho lists its share as 10% of each sale on Starter. Spaces Max costs $15 per month billed annually ($180 per year), with a custom domain, reduced Kulcho branding, third-party integrations and priority support; its sale share is 7.5%. Payment processing fees are separate. Studio provides memberships, entitlements, checkout and payouts. Its REST APIs, SDKs and webhooks connect with a CRM, data warehouse or internal tools, and it is designed to work alongside an existing CMS. Studio design and build engagements start from $25,000, with pricing tailored to each project. Kulcho says members own their member and fan data and can export it at any time. Spaces users can request a payout when ready; funds typically reach their bank within 1 to 2 business days after the request.

Who it suits

Kulcho suits independent creators who want memberships and paid content, as well as agencies managing creator rosters. Publishers and brands seeking a memberships-first platform may also consider Spaces or a custom Studio engagement.
