Creator Fund 2026: what changed in our revenue share

When we launched the Creator Fund in 2024 we promised to revisit the numbers once we understood our costs. Two years, 12,400 paid creators and a lot of spreadsheets later, here is the update.
The short version
| Before | From 1 October 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Share of Pro downloads | 70% | 75% |
| Share of Team downloads | 60% | 70% |
| Payout schedule | Quarterly | Monthly, on the 5th |
| Minimum payout | €25 | €10 |
| Payout methods | SEPA | SEPA, PayPal |
Why we could afford it
Most of our costs scale with storage and video delivery. This year we moved previews to a more efficient encoding ladder and cut delivery costs per view by 41%. We decided that saving belongs to the people whose work is being delivered.
How a download is valued
Pro subscribers pay a flat fee, so we need a fair way to split it. Each month, a subscriber’s fee (minus VAT and payment fees) is divided among the clips they downloaded that month — not pooled across the whole platform. If you download three clips from one creator, that creator gets the creator share of your fee for the month.
The new dashboard
Every creator now sees, per clip: views, previews, saves, downloads and the exact euro amount earned, with a monthly statement you can download as CSV. If a number looks wrong, there is a “question this” button that goes straight to our partnerships team.
What hasn’t changed
- You keep full ownership of your work. Our licence is non-exclusive.
- You can remove a clip at any time; existing licences stay valid for buyers.
- Free clips still earn from the Fund’s monthly bonus pool, based on usage.
