For readers
Readers can apply for ARCs, request reader magnets and download approved copies without choosing an author plan.
FAQ
An invitation email is an ARC invitation you send to readers who opted in to hear from you. Each plan allows a number of them in any 30 days, within a daily limit. Campaign emails, reminders and download links do not count.
New accounts can invite up to 10 new readers in any 24 hours, within the plan’s 30-day total. The daily limit rises to 100 on its own once your account is 7 days old, you have published a campaign and sent 50 invitations, and readers haven’t reported them as spam and almost none bounced. A spam report or too many bounced addresses pauses invitations until we check your account.
Hamsterra blocks the action that would exceed the limit and explains what to change. For example, you can end or delete an open reader magnet before starting another one.
Choose a plan on Plan and usage and pay through Link’s checkout, which shows the total with VAT before you pay. A plan renews until you cancel the renewal, which you can do at any time. The Paid plans terms explain renewals, cancelling and refunds.
No. Readers never pay to read on Hamsterra. Author plans are for author-side quotas and workspace features.
Free has no trial period. You can keep working on Free within its current limits.
Your books, campaigns, contacts, reader magnets, files and analytics stay attached to your author account. If a lower limit applies later, nothing is deleted: you only need to make room before starting something new.
