HeroHero: fees, payouts and how the platform works (2026)
What is HeroHero?
HeroHero is a Prague-based membership platform founded by Vojtěch Otevřel and Vojtěch Knyttl. Fans pay creators a monthly subscription for exclusive content - video, audio, text and livestreams. Its best-known creators include Kovy, Čestmír Strakatý, Mikýř, Ondřej Novotný and Petr Mára, the biggest names in Czech online media (valid as of September 2026 · help.herohero.co).
How much does HeroHero charge?
HeroHero charges 10 % of every payment plus VAT. There are no separate transaction fees - from a €10 pledge you keep roughly €9. For comparison, Patreon's 10 % plus a 2.9 % + $0.30 transaction fee leaves you about €8.60 from the same €10 (valid as of September 2026 · help.herohero.co, support.patreon.com).
When and how does HeroHero pay out?
HeroHero pays out on the first working day of each month via Stripe. The payout runs automatically for the whole previous month; there is nothing to trigger manually (valid as of September 2026 · help.herohero.co).
What content can you publish on HeroHero?
Four formats: video, audio, text and livestream. That covers subscriber podcasts, video shows, newsletters and live broadcasts. Most successful creators combine formats - one recording becomes a subscriber video, an audio version and a written summary.
Who is HeroHero right for?
Creators with a Czech or Slovak audience. HeroHero's 400,000 paying users are concentrated in Central Europe, and local fans already trust the platform - it is where the region's biggest creators collect subscriptions. If your audience is mostly international, Patreon reaches further; if it is mixed, you do not have to choose and can run both.
Does HeroHero have an API? Can publishing be automated?
HeroHero has no public API. Posts are normally uploaded by hand through the web interface. The one tool that publishes to HeroHero directly is Stargaze Studio - it uses its own publishing agent that posts on your behalf once you approve the content.

How do you publish to HeroHero and everywhere else from one upload?
Stargaze Studio turns one uploaded video into clips, subtitles, thumbnails and articles and publishes them to HeroHero, Patreon, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Spotify. Processing starts while the file is still uploading, and nothing goes live without your approval. Stargaze is free during early access.
