What is the revenue split on sales?
It's free to list prompts on PromptBase. We only take a fee when you make a sale:
| Type of sale | PromptBase fee | You keep from $10.00 |
|---|---|---|
| Sale through the marketplace | 20% | $8.00 |
| Sale through your referral link | 0% | $10.00 |
| Custom job | 10% | $9.00 |
There are no extra hidden transaction fees. The fees help us run the platform and offer services like support.
What do I earn from PromptBase Select downloads?
You earn a flat $1.25 each time a Select subscriber downloads one of your prompts. See earning from PromptBase Select.
Why did I earn less than the price of my prompt?
The Net column of your sales tab shows what you earned from each sale. If it's lower than you expected, it is usually one of these:
- The marketplace fee. We keep 20% of a sale made through the marketplace.
- A PromptBase Select download. These pay a flat $1.25 whatever the price of the prompt, and are marked with a purple Select chip. New prompts join Select by default after a couple of weeks without a sale.
- A use, not a sale. When someone runs your prompt on PromptBase you earn a small amount per generation. These are listed on the uses tab, separately from sales.
Are there fees for getting paid out?
Not for regular payouts. A $3.99 fee only applies if you ask for an early payout. If your bank account isn't in US dollars, Stripe converts your payout into your currency. See how payouts work.
