How Earnings Work

Revenue Sources

1. Marketplace Usage

When Assisters subscribers chat with your assistant:

  • Each conversation generates tokens
  • Tokens are tracked and attributed to your assistant
  • You earn a competitive share of the subscription revenue proportional to usage

2. Embed/API Usage

When businesses use your assistant via embed or API:

  • They pay from their wallet per token
  • You set the per-token price (minimum $3.75/million)
  • You earn a competitive share of every dollar spent

Competitive Revenue Share

For every dollar of revenue your assistant generates, you receive a competitive share while Assisters handles infrastructure, LLM costs, and platform maintenance.

This split is transparent and consistent across all revenue types.

Calculating Earnings

Marketplace example:

  • User on Plus plan ($19/month) chats with 5 different assistants
  • They spend 40% of their usage on your assistant
  • You earn a proportional share based on their usage

Embed example:

  • Business spends $100/month on your assistant via API
  • You earn a competitive share of that revenue
