No listing fees. No monthly subscription. No upfront costs of any kind. ZicoArt is free to join and free to list — you only pay a 25% commission when you make a sale. Keep 75% of everything you earn.
Most platforms charge artists before they've made a single sale — listing fees, monthly subscriptions, payment processing fees on top of commission. ZicoArt charges nothing until you earn.

ZicoArt's free model is a deliberate choice. When you succeed, we succeed — so every tool, feature, and resource on the platform is built to help you sell more.
You pay nothing to join, nothing to list, and nothing until a sale is made. For artists just starting out or testing a new platform, zero financial risk is everything.
We take 25% only when you make a sale. That means ZicoArt's interests are perfectly aligned with yours — the better you do, the better we do. No subscription to justify.

Yes — completely. There is no registration fee, no listing fee, no monthly subscription, and no annual fee. You create your profile and list your artwork entirely for free. ZicoArt only charges a 25% commission when you make a sale. If you never sell, you never pay anything.
The commission covers Stripe payment processing, Certificate of Authenticity generation, platform maintenance, buyer acquisition marketing, and customer support. There are no additional fees on top of the 25% — no payment processing surcharge, no VAT on the commission for most sellers.
There is no limit on the number of artworks you can list at no cost. List one piece or one hundred — the fee is always the same: nothing until you sell.
Yes. ZicoArt uses a non-exclusive listing arrangement. You retain 100% copyright ownership of your work and can sell on any other platform simultaneously. There is no exclusivity requirement.
Payments are processed through Stripe and paid out to your account within 3–5 business days of a completed sale, directly to your bank account in your local currency.
No. The only fee ZicoArt charges is 25% commission on completed sales. There are no listing fees, no renewal fees, no featured placement fees, no withdrawal fees, and no subscription tiers. What you see is what you pay.
