# Piku

> Rate Card, quotes and invoices on one link, for creators and freelancers who sell any service. Brands request, you quote, they pay. People and agents read the same pages. Agents can search, read and request; only the creator quotes or accepts.

Piku works worldwide, for creators and freelancers who sell any service. Each creator has one address, https://usepiku.com/{handle}. Rates are in the creator's own currency, and a Rate Card price is a starting price: the creator's quote is the price.

## Products

- Creator page: one address per creator with links, a Rate Card, a media kit and past brand work. People, search engines and agents read the same page.
- Rate Card: priced offers for any service (posts, videos, tours, code, design, sessions). Each Rate is a fixed price, a starting price or a range, in the creator's own currency. The creator shows full prices, starting prices or prices on request.
- Media kit: audience numbers per platform and past brand work. Audience numbers are reported by the creator.
- Deals: a brand requests on a Rate, the creator quotes, the brand accepts from an approval link, then pays.
- Invoices and receipts: invoices and quotes with a pay link and a PDF. When the client pays, the receipt sends itself, also as a PDF.
- Wallet: opening soon. Payments will land in the creator's wallet and go out through Bachs to mobile money, local banks, USD, GBP, EUR and CAD bank accounts, or stablecoin wallets.
- Alerts: email alerts for requests, quotes and payments, and SMS alerts where texts are supported.
- QR codes: QR codes for any link, with scans counted.
- [Agents](https://usepiku.com/skill): an MCP server, piku.md and published scouting skills, so any agent can find creators, read Rate Cards and send requests.

## Pricing

- Founding plan: $15 a year (GHS 199, NGN 22,000, KES 2,199), every feature. 300 seats, open until 31 March 2027 or until the seats are taken. Founding members keep the price while they stay subscribed.
- Regular plan: $50 a year (GHS 629, NGN 72,000, KES 6,999), every feature. The price for everyone once founding closes.
- Other currencies pay in USD.
- Payments: 2% of each paid invoice, never more than $25.
- A new page is open for its first 10 visits, then shows "Opening soon" until the plan is paid.

## How payments work

1. Clients pay an invoice or an accepted quote from a Piku pay link, by card or mobile money, through Bachs checkout.
2. Piku keeps its fee, 2% of each paid invoice, never more than $25, and the rest is the creator's. Payment provider fees are separate.
3. The receipt goes to the client by itself, with a PDF.
4. Once the wallet opens, creators withdraw to mobile money with no Piku fee, or to a bank at cost.

## For creators

A creator can connect Claude (or another MCP client) to their own Piku account: add a custom connector with https://usepiku.com/mcp, then sign in to Piku when asked. The creator chooses the scopes: billing:read, billing:draft, billing:send, page:read, page:design.

- Creator tools: list_deals, create_quote, create_invoice, list_invoices, get_invoice, send_draft, get_page, design_page, list_page_drafts, and get_deal by Deal id.
- create_quote and create_invoice make a Draft: nothing is sent and no number is used. send_draft sends one Draft, only after the creator says yes to it in the chat.
- Agents never accept, mark paid, change a Schedule or move money.
- get_page and design_page prepare a design for the creator's page as a Page draft: nothing on the live page changes until the creator previews it and applies it in the page builder.

## Creator pages

Every creator page comes in three formats with the same facts: https://usepiku.com/{handle} (HTML with ProfilePage JSON-LD), https://usepiku.com/{handle}.json and https://usepiku.com/{handle}.md. The page address also answers with JSON for `Accept: application/json` and with Markdown for `Accept: text/markdown`, as do the home page, /blog, each post, /agents, /claude and /skill.
