Fan pinches always settle 90/10
When a fan gifts you directly, you keep 90% on every plan — pinches are not affected by your plan commission.
Buyers never pay extra
No booking fee, no service fee. The ticket or unlock price you set is exactly what your audience pays.
Payouts
Earnings reach your PINCHED balance as soon as a payment settles. Request a withdrawal any time to the bank account saved in creator set-up; transfers land on the next working day.
Paid content floor
Paid pieces start at ₦200 so card fees never swallow the sale. Free is always an option, with no floor.
Access, not ownership
A purchase unlocks a piece for 90 days, or for the rental window you choose. Fans can always re-unlock.
AI credit bundles
Every account gets 5 free credits a day. Top up any time — credits never expire and work across scripts, captions, thumbnails, voice and AI video.

Questions
- Do I have to pay to publish on PINCHED?
- No. The Free plan is free forever and never expires. You can publish unlimited free articles, audio and video, build your audience and receive pinches from fans. You only pay when you want to charge for your work or sell products and tickets.
- What does the commission mean in real money?
- It is the share PINCHED keeps on a sale. On a ₦1,000 unlock you receive ₦900 on Free, ₦920 on Pro, ₦940 on Studio and ₦970 on Exclusive. Pinches (fan gifts) always settle at 90/10.
- Do ticket buyers pay extra fees?
- Never. The price you set on a ticket is the price the buyer pays — PINCHED adds no booking or service fee on top.
- When am I paid?
- Earnings land in your PINCHED balance as soon as a payment settles, and you can request a withdrawal to the bank account saved in your creator set-up at any time.
- How do I pay for a plan?
- Card, bank transfer and USSD through Interswitch/Quickteller. Plans run for one month and you renew when you want to — nothing is charged automatically.
- What happens if I do not renew?
- You drop back to the Free plan. Nothing is deleted: your published work stays online, but new paid pricing and selling tools switch off until you renew.
- Can I change plan later?
- Yes, any time from Plans in your creator studio. An upgrade applies immediately for a fresh month.
- Do I need a bank account to charge for my work?
- Yes. Add your bank name and account number in creator set-up before you publish anything paid — that is how we pay you.
