The platform

Four tools, a spreadsheet, and nobody knows who earned what.

That's how most studios run. Royaltea is one system where the work record is the ownership record — so when the money arrives, the answer already exists.

The split isn't a spreadsheet problem. It's a record problem.

Tasks live in Trello. Docs live in Notion. Files live in Drive. The split lives in a spreadsheet someone updates from memory, months later, from a Discord history nobody can reconstruct. Every one of those tools works. None of them can tell you what a person is owed.

So the argument that ends teams isn't really about money — it's about the absence of a record anyone trusts. Royaltea exists to make that record a by-product of doing the work, instead of an archaeology project afterwards.

What it replaces

You are already paying for most of this

Not integrations — the same system. The reason it's one product is that a defensible split needs the whole record in one place.

A tool for each part of making it

Not a blank page with a template on it. Each of these is built for a discipline — and each works free, with no account, before it ever becomes a project.

01Imagine it — Lore Builder

Worldbuilding entries, character relationships, timelines and canon facts with provenance, so the story stays consistent across everyone writing it.

02Design the systems — Tech Tree Maker

A real node editor for progression, unlocks and gates. Export to JSON, PNG or Mermaid, or keep it live next to the tasks that implement it.

03Design the space — Level Blockout Planner

Sketch layouts, encounters and flow on a metrics-aware grid, so a level is argued about before it is built in engine.

04Pace it — IPM Chart

Plot interest per minute across a session and see where the game sags, before a playtest tells you the expensive way.

05Model the money — Revenue Split Calculator

Try equal, weighted and custom splits with the real storefront cut already deducted, so the deal is understood before anyone signs it.

06Then build, ship and split

Boards, sprints and milestones carry the work; contribution points, agreements and payouts carry the ownership. The tools and the record are the same system.

What you get

Four things, one record

01

Run the work

Boards, sprints, milestones, calendar, table and gantt views, roadmaps you can make public, meetings, polls and proposals. Everything a team needs to decide what to do and show where it stands.

Free forever — unlimited projects and unlimited members, no seat cost.

02

Design it, and keep the knowledge

Purpose-built tools for narrative, systems, level design and pacing — plus pages with a real block editor, databases and a project drive. The canon, the design doc and the build sit next to the tasks that implement them.

Replaces the Notion and Drive sprawl, and the tools nobody had at all.

03

Turn work into ownership

Completed work becomes contribution points weighted by difficulty and time. Those points drive the split, the split drives the distribution, and the distribution pays out — with versioned agreements and tax details attached.

The part no other tool does at all.

04

Bring in AI and people

A 77-tool MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or any MCP client read your tasks, write your pages and check your royalties. A marketplace and verified skill records handle bringing new people in.

Works inside the tools you already use, instead of demanding another tab.

For developers

Your studio, addressable by any model

Most products ship a chatbot bolted to their own interface. Royaltea exposes 77 MCP tools — 44 read, 33 write — so an agent you already use can work against your real project: list tasks, check a milestone, draft a contribution, write a page, read a royalty breakdown.

Connect Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP. There is also an unauthenticated public server for the free tools, so an agent can be useful before anyone signs up.

The full tool list and connection instructions are in the MCP docs.

Where this is going

It should work where you already work

Every tab a developer has to keep open is a tax on the work. So the direction is not more places to visit — it is Royaltea showing up inside the things you already have open.

A 77-tool MCP server means Claude, Claude Code or Cursor can read and write your project without you leaving the editor. Two-way sync with Jira, GitHub, ClickUp, Trello, Todoist, Codecks, Clockify, Notion and Calendly means work tracked elsewhere still reaches the contribution record.

New tools get built as we find the use cases that need them. The pipeline above has slots, not a fixed list.

Reasonable questions

Isn't this too many features to do any of them well?
It would be, if they were separate products stapled together. They share one data model: a task carries its difficulty, which becomes contribution points, which drive a split, which a distribution pays out. The breadth is what makes the record complete — a split you can defend needs the work, the docs and the money in the same place.
Do we have to use all of it?
No. Plenty of teams use the boards and never run a distribution, and project management is free forever regardless. The money layer is there when you need it rather than something you have to adopt up front.
Can we keep using Jira or GitHub?
Yes. Two-way sync covers Jira, GitHub, ClickUp, Trello, Todoist, Codecks, Clockify, Notion and Calendly, so work tracked elsewhere still lands in the contribution record.
What does it cost?
Project management is free forever with unlimited projects and members. Pro is $25/mo for AI, advanced royalty tooling and lower fees. Otherwise Royaltea takes a percentage only when money actually moves — see the pricing page for the exact numbers.
What happens to our data if we leave?
The contribution and distribution history is yours, and Enterprise includes full data export with an offline calculator.

Start with the boards. The rest is there when you need it.

Free forever to plan, unlimited team, no card. The money layer only costs anything when there's money to split.
