Economics

Monetization Model

When everyone benefits from growth, everyone works toward growth. Aligned incentives, sustainable economics.

Success-Aligned Economics

We only succeed when creators succeed. Our revenue comes from transaction fees on successful registrations, licenses, and payments—never from subscriptions that bill you whether you earn or not.

No monthly subscriptions
No upfront costs to register
Fees only on successful transactions
Our Model
You Earn → We Earn

We're incentivized to maximize your earnings, not minimize your value

Transparent Fee Structure

No hidden costs, no surprise charges. Every fee clearly documented before you commit.

Registration

Free
Always

Upload and register works at no cost. MOVE analysis included.

Licensing

5%
of license value

Small fee on successful license transactions. Buyers pay, not creators.

Detection

Volume-based
per scan

Platforms pay for detection services. Creators never pay for monitoring.
