Our introductory program was a beta offering designed as a limited-time promotional rate while we built and tested the platform. We're currently transitioning all authors from our introductory beta program to a new engagement-based payout model.
If you're enrolled in engagement-based payouts, here's what applies to you:
- Now through February 19, 2026: All authors currently earn under the introductory program terms ($1.10 per engaged listener), regardless of when you joined
- February 19, 2026 onward: All authors enrolled in engagement based payouts will automatically transition to the new payout model ($0.20 per hour of verified listening, with a $2.50 cap per book)
Note: If you joined recently, you agreed to the new payout terms during enrollment. However, as we transition, the introductory program rates will apply until February 15, 2026.
No action needed. This transition happens automatically for all enrolled authors.
