Fees and Pricing from 1st July 2025
Investing in Innovation, Access, and Creative Futures
As we continue to grow and evolve, Creative Portal is introducing a new, sustainable model from Tuesday, 1st July 2025, designed to support both individual creatives and the wider professional and education sectors. These changes ensure we can deliver powerful new features, invest in community grants, and remain accessible for years to come.
This is not a move toward profit — it’s a step toward greater impact, independence, and innovation.

If you’re already a portfolio user or sign up before midnight on Monday, 30th June 2025, you will continue to enjoy free lifetime access to the platform. No change, no fee — just our continued support.
New Members from 1st June 2025
All new individual users joining from 11am on Tuesday, 1st July 2025 will be asked to make a one-time, lifetime membership payment of just £10 (or equivalent in local currency).

This exclusive feature for portfolio members will be available via a separate subscription:
- Annual Payment: £36 (equivalent to £3/month)

For Education Providers & Institutions
To support long-term access for students, we’re introducing a one-time-only, block membership model for learning providers.
Institution Type | One-Time Fee |
Single Schools (Public or Independent) | £300 |
Multi-School Trusts/Groups | £600 |
Single University | £1,000 |

All payments are one-time only. There are no renewals or recurring fees.

Why This Model?
We’ve chosen a one-off, lifetime membership model instead of monthly subscriptions because we believe in:
- Keeping access affordable and fair
- Offering long-term value
- Remaining transparent and community-first
- Avoiding financial pressure and continuing ongoing commitments
Your membership fee will directly fuel:
- Platform development
- AI and immersive tools
- Career support resources
- Future micro-grants via our Creative Cashpoint for emerging talent
