What Builds Contribution Value
Time Since Upload
Newer tracks get a stronger recency factor, which decays over time with a 6-month half-life.
Play Activity
More plays increase the popularity boost, up to a maximum 3x multiplier.
Collaborator Count
Contribution is split equally across the producers credited on the track.
How Subscription Payout Share Works
- BeatPass takes the subscription base amount as the producer pool
- All eligible track contribution values are summed
- Your producer share is calculated from your contribution divided by the platform total
- Eligible producers receive their share through the payout flow
The platform fee (12% + $3.00 flat) is added on top of the base price at checkout. Producers receive 100% of their set price, and subscription checkout shows the fee before you confirm payment. Learn more →
Important Rules
Exclusive-Only Tracks
Tracks marked exclusive-only do not contribute to the subscription pool. They can still earn through direct sales, but their contribution value for subscription sharing is treated as zero.Ineligible Producers
If a producer is not payout-ready when a subscription split runs, their share can be excluded and redistributed among eligible producers.Daily Refresh
BeatPass recalculates contribution values on a roughly 24-hour cycle so new plays and time decay continue to affect the next payout calculations.Related
