It’s expensive to run a streaming platform! Which is why most platforms take a commission (frequently up to 30%) on all tips and sales. We are determined to keep our members’ tips commision-free. In order to do this, we have to charge a higher annual platform flat fee to members whose music costs more to host than the average member. All members pay the same flat fees for their first year. For the second and all subsequent years member platform fees will be based on their previous year’s net earnings*. Only members who earn more than $5000 a year net revenue will be subject to higher platform fees, and the increased fees represent less than 1% of revenue for those high-earning members.
