The problem

Why musicians switch from Uscreen

Patreon takes 8-12% AND owns the relationship with your fans. Uscreen costs $149/mo before you've sold anything AND adds $1.99 per subscriber on top. For an indie musician building their first 500 patrons, that's $1,144/mo in platform fees on top of Stripe. heardso starts at $0/mo + 8% revshare; you keep the subscriber emails.

What you get

Built for the way musicians actually work

🎸

Tier the catalog

Free tier: 30-second previews. Paid tier: full albums, multitracks, stems for remix. Tutorial tier: gear walkthroughs, songwriting breakdowns.

🎸

Live show archive

Every show you record gets uploaded as a paid concert film. Old shows pay for themselves over years.

🎸

Direct-to-fan single drop

Stream your new single as a "private listening party" before it hits Spotify. Paid subscribers only.

Pricing

How the price compares at 500 subscribers

Most musicianscross 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 musicians

Can I sell merch through the same site?

Not yet — heardso is video-first. Most musicians point fans to Bandcamp / Shopify for merch, and use heardso for the streamable catalog + behind-the-scenes content.

What about song downloads vs streams?

Currently streaming-only. We're evaluating gated downloads (e.g. stems or wav files for paid tiers) — let us know if that blocks your launch.

Can I see who my biggest fans are?

The admin dashboard shows top watchers by minutes, top supporters by subscription length, and a downloadable subscriber list (CSV) for your own outreach.

Get paid by your fans without giving up the relationship.

Free tier to start, 7% revshare on Growth — no per-member surcharge, no $149 floor. Drag-and-drop upload, your colors, your URL.
