The Challenge
Creators rent their audience.
Independent creators earn from a mix of ad revenue, platform payouts and whatever a tipping widget allows. The audience belongs to the platform, the payout arrives on someone else's schedule, and the supporter gets no real way to reach the creator.
- Revenue dependent on platforms that can change terms or rates
- Slow, opaque payout schedules
- No direct line from supporter back to creator
The Approach
Make the contribution the whole product.
We kept the flow to a single action: support someone. No subscription to manage, no feature tour, no monthly commitment. The creator keeps the relationship because the supporter can reach them directly.
- Simple tipping and creator support tools
- Direct audience-to-creator monetization
- Supporter messages, so support is two-way
- Payouts to the creator's bank via Razorpay Route, not a monthly settlement window
What's Shipped
No monthly fee, one transparent rate.
Tips carry a 0% platform fee and there is no monthly fee; the creator pays only the payment gateway's charge. For a creator who would otherwise pay a subscription to receive support, the cost only exists when the support does.
