PAYOUT
RATES

Paid per 1,000 credited downloads, priced by the downloader's country at the moment they ask. A download that finishes but is not credited pays nothing, and countries outside the three tiers below are paid at the fourth.

TierRegionPer 1,000
T1United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and 12 more$5.00
T2France, Italy, Spain, and 12 more$3.50
T3Everywhere else, India included$2.00
Counted on bytes, not time

A download pays once 90% of the file has reached the visitor, however many requests it took to get there. A resumed transfer still counts. A transfer that stops short counts for nothing, and no stopwatch is involved anywhere.

One credit per visitor per day

The first publisher to convert a visitor inside 24 hours is paid; every later one in the same window is not, across the whole site. At most 4 devices behind one address can be credited in that window.

What is never counted

Downloads from datacentre ranges, requests the edge scores as automated, and your own downloads from the address you last signed in on. The refusal is recorded against the event, so the figure on your dashboard is the figure you are paid.

A closed day is final

Each event is priced at the downloader's country the moment they ask, and that amount is written once. A later change to the card does not reach it. Nothing reverses a completed payout.

No premium upsell

Downloaders never pay us and their bytes are never shaped, so there is no slow lane to sell an escape from. What they do pay is attention: the link routes them through ad pages on the way in.
