Free to plan. Paid only when there's money to split.
Project management is free forever — unlimited projects, unlimited members, sprints, boards and agreements. You pay when you're moving real money, or when you want the tools that make that easier.
Every plan includes the whole project management side. The differences are marketplace volume, storage, advanced royalty tooling, and the percentage taken when money moves.
Most teams that need revenue sharing are the ones who can least afford a per-seat subscription. A five-person jam team that hasn't shipped anything has no budget, and charging them monthly to organise unpaid work is backwards.
So the planning side has no paywall and no seat limit. Boards, sprints, sprint review, the tech tree maker and the IPM chart stay free regardless of team size or how long you use them.
Royaltea makes money in two places: a percentage when a distribution actually pays out, and a percentage on marketplace gigs. Both only trigger when money changes hands. If your project never earns, Royaltea never charges you.
What the fees actually mean
Distribution fee
Taken when you distribute revenue to your team — 5% on Free, 2% on Pro, 0.5% on Enterprise. Charged on the amount distributed, not on your total revenue.
Gig fee
Taken on marketplace work — 15% on Free, 10% on Pro, 5% on Enterprise. Applies to paid engagements arranged through the marketplace, not to your own team's rev-share.
Marketplace engagements
How many active marketplace engagements you can run at once: 5 on Free, 20 on Pro, 50 on Enterprise. Your own team members are never counted.
Resource library
Storage for builds, art, audio and documents: 1 GB on Free, 50 GB on Pro, 500 GB on Enterprise.
Questions
Will sprints and boards ever be paywalled?
Never. Project management stays free forever — that includes sprints, task boards, sprint review, the tech tree maker, and the IPM chart.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
There's no trial because there's no trial-shaped problem: the free plan isn't a limited demo, it's the whole project management product. Upgrade when you want the AI assistant, advanced royalty tooling, or lower fees.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade to Pro anytime, or downgrade to Free — you keep access through the end of your billing period.
Do you charge per seat?
No. Team members are unlimited on every plan, including Free. Charging per seat would punish you for bringing on the collaborators the platform exists to help you find.
What happens if we never make money?
Then you never pay a distribution fee. The fees are a percentage of money actually moving, so a project that doesn't earn costs nothing beyond an optional Pro subscription.
