Creator Revenue

Creator Earnings on Netcade

Three ways to earn: Paid Content, Creator Ads, and Ultra Subscribers. We push as much as possible to you while handling payments, tax, hosting, and discovery.

We pass payment network fees at cost and keep a small platform share only where explicitly noted. Exact percentages can vary by country and payment method.

Paid Content (Store Sales)

Sell games, assets, courses, music, or videos. Buyers pay the sticker price (plus any required taxes). You keep the share below — the effective percentage rises with price because card networks charge a flat fee + %.

$2.99

Creator take-home: ≈ $2.60 (~87%)

$9.99

Creator take-home: ≈ $9.39 (~94%)

$14.99

Creator take-home: ≈ $14.24 (~95%)

Payout tiers

Percent rises with price because card networks charge a fixed ~$0.30 + %. Tiers smooth this out so buyers see one clean price.

Creator Ads (CPV on Free Content)

Advertisers and creators fund campaigns that show short in-house ads on free content. Hosts receive 95% of ad spend; Netcade retains ~5% to run the system. We recommend at least a $15 campaign so fixed card fees don’t waste budget.

Campaign spend	Payout to host	Netcade share	Notes
$15.00	$14.25	$0.75	Recommended minimum (fees efficient)
$50.00	$47.50	$2.50	Most common test budget
$200.00	$190.00	$10.00	Scales to larger pushes

Host earns —

We pay 95% of spend to hosts. Card fees are passed at cost and reflected in your wallet ledger. A $15 minimum keeps campaigns efficient.

Ultra Subscribers (Creator-owned subs)

Your fans can subscribe directly to you at $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99/month. Netcade keeps a small ~5% platform share; payment network fees are passed at cost. Higher tiers are more fee-efficient.

Tier	Gross (per month)	Est. creator take*	Notes
$2.99	$2.99	≈ $2.60–$2.70	Small flat card fee has bigger impact
$4.99	$4.99	≈ $4.50–$4.70	Recommended starter tier
$9.99	$9.99	≈ $9.00–$9.40	Best margin & perks

*Ranges account for card network fees by region/method plus Netcade’s small platform share (~5%). Bank/ACH-style payments are more efficient than high-fee wallets.

How It All Fits Together

The goal is simple: you keep as much as possible while Netcade stays sustainable enough to keep shipping features, handling support, and paying for infra.

No hidden margins: card/processor fees are passed through at cost and itemized in your wallet ledger.
Taxes/VAT: collected from buyers where required. Your earnings are calculated on the pre-tax price.
Rights: upload only content you own or are licensed to monetize; DMCA and takedowns are enforced.
Payouts: Stripe, PayPal, and/or Trolley handle disbursements; Netcade does not store full card or bank details.

Best-practice tips

Bundle value (game + OST + assets) to hit the 94–95% tier on store sales.
Default to a $4.99 Ultra tier; reserve $9.99 for VIP perks, Discord roles, or behind-the-scenes access.
For Creator Ads, run campaigns at $15+ for efficient CPV and less waste to fees.
Use Netcade’s analytics to test pricing vs. conversion, not just top-line revenue.

Bottom line

Creator-first: store sales climb up to 95% to you, Creator Ads pay out 95% of ad spend to hosts, and Ultra subs aim for ~87–94% after fees and a small platform share. Netcade’s job is to make those numbers as high and as clear as possible.
