How each plan works

Three ways to pay for the translation. Readers pay you the same way whichever you choose, and you choose again for every chapter you upload.

Every plan

What stays the same

Readers pay you
A monthly subscription to you ($3–$20, at your price), one chapter bought for good with credits (at your price), or a volume ($1.99–$50). Chapter 1 is free by default.
BakuHub's share
A share of what readers pay, card fees included. No monthly fee, no setup fee.
Payouts
Once a month, on the 1st, for what you earned the month before. Analytics shows the next payout and what it holds so far.
Translation is paid once
Each page is paid once per language: the same page in the same language isn't charged again, and the chapter keeps selling after.
One plan per chapter
You choose when you upload a chapter. It stays for that chapter, including languages added later and publishing again.

How it works

You pay the translation

80%

of what readers pay is yours

Who

Any creator.

How it works

  1. 1

    Buy credits, or use the ones you have: new accounts start with 80 credits free.

  2. 2

    Upload a chapter and pick its languages and its quality.

  3. 3

    The translation spends your credits, page by page.

  4. 4

    Publish. Of every sale you keep 80%; BakuHub's 20% includes card fees.

Good to know

  • Any quality, including professional proofreading.

  • Publishing your original untranslated keeps the same share.

Example

A 20-page chapter into one language with Claude Sonnet costs 160 credits (about $64). A chapter sold for 1 credit pays you $0.32; a $5-a-month subscriber pays you $4. With 100 subscribers that is $400 a month for you; with 1,000, $4,000.

How it works

Pay from sales

$0 upfront

80%

Who

Any approved creator. Nothing to pay up front.

How it works

  1. 1

    When you upload a chapter, choose “Pay from sales”.

  2. 2

    BakuHub advances the credits for its translation, with Claude Haiku. You owe them at $0.40 a credit.

  3. 3

    Of every sale BakuHub takes 20%; 50% of your part repays what you owe, and the rest is yours from the first sale.

  4. 4

    Once it's repaid, you keep 80% of every sale.

Good to know

  • Advanced credits pay for Claude Haiku pages only: not another quality, and not chapters you buy as a reader.

  • You can owe up to 250 credits (about $100) at first. Each credit you repay raises that by 2, up to 2,000 (about $800). Past it, your own credits pay.

  • While you owe, if nothing sells for 90 days, nothing more is advanced until your next sale.

  • It's only ever repaid from sales: if a chapter never sells, you don't pay it back yourself.

  • Analytics shows what's left to repay; your transactions show what each sale repaid.

Example

20 pages into two languages with Haiku is 200 credits, so you owe $80. A $5-a-month subscriber pays BakuHub $1 and you $4: $2 of it repays, $2 is yours. After 40 subscriber-months it's repaid, and all $4 is yours. With 100 subscribers it is repaid in 1 month, then $400 a month is yours; with 1,000, $4,000.

How it works

  1. 1

    BakuHub invites your series.

  2. 2

    When you publish a chapter, BakuHub pays its translation, up to 2,000 credits a month; past them, your own credits pay.

  3. 3

    Nothing to repay. Of every sale you keep 60%; BakuHub's 40% pays for the translation and includes card fees.

Good to know

  • The bigger share applies to chapters BakuHub translated, to volumes that hold one, and to your subscription once one of them is live.

Example

A $5-a-month subscriber pays you $3; a chapter sold for 1 credit pays you $0.24. With 100 subscribers that is $300 a month for you; with 1,000, $3,000.
