Stripe delivers the box office every month. You keep 92 cents of every dollar, and storage grows with your run.
The house takes less. Read the receipt.
On a $10 monthly membership, HouTV keeps 80 cents. Patreon keeps a dollar — and caps your picture at 1080p. YouTube keeps three dollars and runs trailers you didn't approve.
Payouts arrive monthly through Stripe, and your included storage grows automatically as your membership does.
★ BOX OFFICE ★
Open casting
Every kind of creator belongs on this billQuestions, answered
Asked at the box officeHow much does HouTV cost?
Nothing to open the doors. Starting a channel and uploading are free — we take a flat 8% of membership revenue when you get paid, and that's the whole bill. Payouts run through Stripe.
What video quality can I upload?
Up to 4K Ultra HD. Every upload is transcoded into an adaptive range of resolutions, so each member gets the sharpest stream their screen and connection can carry — a proper projection, every time.
Who can earn on HouTV?
Any video creator with an audience willing to buy a ticket — essayists, educators, musicians, filmmakers, podcasters and more. If you make video people would pay for, you belong on this bill.
How do members-only videos work?
Set monthly tiers and mark any video members-only. Active members at the right tier walk straight in; everyone else sees a courteous invitation to join the membership.
How do I get paid?
Connect Stripe once during setup. Memberships are charged monthly and your share — 92 cents of every dollar — arrives automatically. No invoices, no chasing.
What about storage?
Every creator starts with free storage that grows automatically as your paid membership grows — the archive scales with the run, at no extra charge.
Make video worth paying for.
