Pricing
There is no percentage anywhere.
When a fan buys your album for $10, they pay an invoice minted by your wallet, and the full $10 lands there directly, settled in sats, bitcoin's native unit. The money never passes through us, so we can't take a cut. That's architecture, not policy. What we price is the convenience we actually provide: hosting your files and gating delivery.
HOSTED · FREE
$0
·Bring a Lightning address: no node, no channels, no seed phrase; see which wallets work
·2 GB hosted storage: a handful of lossless albums; your paid files live on private storage, never a public URL
·Unlimited listings: tracks and downloads, priced in sats, name-your-price supported
·100% of every sale: buyer pays your wallet directly; we never touch the money
·Leave anytime: your catalog is Nostr events signed by your key, so it survives us
HOSTED · PRO
~$10/mo paid in sats
·50 GB hosted storage: a serious catalog, stem packs welcome
·Everything in Free: same structural 100%; a flat fee for what we host, never a cut of what you sell
·Early features: priority delivery and multiple formats as they ship
SELF-HOSTED
open source (MIT, released)
·Run your own artist node: your hardware, your keys, your files. The artist node and desktop app are open source on GitHub
·No wallet requirements: your node confirms its own payments; no LUD-21 needed
·Optional concierge: setup help and a support subscription. We price the labor, never the revenue
Proven in production: the first mainnet sale settled to a self-hosted artist node on 2026-08-03.
THE FINE PRINT, PLAINLY
·Refunds: we can't issue them, because we never hold the money. Payments settle buyer → artist; disputes are between buyer and artist.
·Wallet requirement (hosted tiers): your Lightning address must support payment confirmation (LUD-21) so buyers' downloads unlock. The app checks when you save it.
·Storage counts what you upload: deleting a listing doesn't free bytes; the file stays hosted for buyers' re-downloads.
