The problem

Why woodworkers and makers switch from Uscreen

Woodworking YouTubers know the gap: free content drives 90% of the views, but 10% of viewers would pay for the deep dives. Uscreen at $149+/mo plus per-sub fees pushes that math into the red. heardso lets you start the paid library without quitting YouTube.

Pricing

How the price compares at 500 subscribers

Most woodworkers and makerscross 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.
