The problem

Why cooking creators switch from Uscreen

Cooking content monetizes well at scale on YouTube, but mid-rolls degrade the viewing experience. Uscreen costs $149+/mo to break out into a paid site. heardso lets you keep YouTube AND run a paid library for your power-cooks.

What you get

Built for the way cooking creators actually work

🍳

Cuisine-by-cuisine series

Italian one show, Korean another, Vietnamese another. Each episode = one dish, start-to-finish.

🍳

Technique deep-dives

Knife skills, stock-making, fermentation, bread-and-pastry. The 10-minute videos that YouTube doesn't recommend but subscribers pay for.

🍳

Holiday meal cohorts

Time-limited "Thanksgiving cohort" — 6 videos, daily live-cook-along, member chat. Higher price, smaller cohort.

Pricing

How the price compares at 500 subscribers

Most cooking creatorscross the 100-subscriber line within the first year. That's when Uscreen forces you off Starter and onto Growth + the per-member surcharge.

Uscreen Growth

$149/mo + $1.99/sub

$1,144/mo

at 500 paid subscribers

Per-subscriber surcharge means cost grows linearly with success.

heardso Growth

$49/mo + 7% revshare

$49/mo + ~7% of MRR

at 500 paid subscribers

If 500 subs at $10/mo, total platform cost ≈ $399/mo — about a third of Uscreen.

Math: Uscreen Growth = $149 + (500 × $1.99) = $1,144/mo flat. heardso Growth = $49 base + 7% of $5,000 MRR = $399/mo. heardso saves you about $745/mo at this scale.

Questions

Common questions from cooking creators

Can I attach recipe PDFs to each episode?

Yes — episode descriptions accept formatted text + PDF links + downloadable assets for paid subscribers only.

What about subscribers asking substitution questions?

Comment thread per episode. Most cooking creators answer in batch once a week.

Can I sell physical cookbooks alongside?

Link out to Shopify / Amazon from your episode descriptions and homepage. heardso handles the video, not the merch.
