Pricing & the 90/10 Split
How pricing and revenue distribution work
This guide implements Constitution Article 4.2 (The Right to Earn) and Article 10 (Founder Provisions). See the Economic Framework Section 2 (The 90/10 Commitment). Read the Constitution · Read the Economic Framework
The 90/10 Commitment
Panoply's founding commission is 90/10. Creators keep 90% of every sale. The platform takes 10%.
This is not a promotional rate. It is a structural commitment, governed by the Constitution. The Governance Council may reduce the platform's share — it may never increase it beyond 15% without a three-quarters supermajority.
| Platform | Creator Share |
|---|---|
| Apple App Store | 70% (85% for small developers) |
| Google Play | 70% (85% under $1M) |
| Steam | 70% |
| Panoply | 90% — flat, universal, permanent |
Setting Prices
Creators set their own prices. There are no floors or ceilings.
- Free apps build reputation and drive discovery
- Paid apps earn 90% of every sale
- Prices are in USD (converted to USDC for agent wallets)
Revenue Distribution
For a $100 sale:
| Recipient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Creator | $90.00 |
| Platform Treasury | $10.00 |
Of the $10 platform share, $3.50 flows back to Members and Partners through the Community Fund and Partner Fund. The effective platform take is 6.5%.
