Takings Pricing and timing analytics
For adult creators selling subscriptions and pay-per-view

Is $15 better than $25? Your own sales already know.

Drop in your platform's sales export. Takings shows which pay-per-view price earns most per fan you send it to, which hours of the week actually pay, and what your subscription price did to sign-ups and renewals - and how you compare with creators who chose to share.

Nothing opens in this browser — this one takes a job and does the work on our own graphics cards in Oregon. The free allowance below is how you try it: 5 reports, no card and no payment, on the key you are issued.

The problem

Pricing by feel leaves money on every message.

Most creators pick a PPV price by habit and send at whatever hour they finish editing. The export your platform gives you already holds the answer; nobody has time to pivot-table it every month.

Per send

PPV judged by revenue per fan it was sent to - the number that decides a price - when your export says so.

30 sales

Fewer than that in a price band and it says 'not enough to tell' instead of naming a winner.

No fans

The fan column is never read, and your export is not kept - only the report.

This computer only, for now.

Takings opens to the public once it has an https address. Nothing about your fans is ever read.

Paid in bitcoin through our own checkout; the reports are added to your key as soon as the payment confirms. Your licence key is emailed to you within two working days of payment.

Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor. The units you buy are added to your key: buy from the Buy more box inside the program and they arrive on their own once the payment confirms, or buy here and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that box.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Which platforms' exports work?

Any CSV with a date, an amount and a type column - the columns are found by their names. The page says which ones it read.

What is 'per fan sent to'?

Revenue divided by how many fans each paid message went to. It needs a 'sent to' column; without it you get revenue per sale and per week.

What exactly goes in the pool?

The share of your PPV revenue in each price band, the share of revenue in each hour of the week, your main subscription price and its renewal share. No money, no rows, no fans.

When does the benchmark appear?

Once five creators have shared. It grows as more do.

What do I actually get when I pay?

A key. One line of text, issued to you and shown exactly once — only its hash is kept here, so it cannot be looked up later and we could not tell you what yours is. Every key arrives with a free allowance already on it, which is the tier at the top of the pricing above, and the work starts the first time you send a job with that key on it.

Each job is metered in the unit named in the pricing, and a unit that fails — a file that will not read, a row the model held back — is not charged and is named in the job report rather than silently skipped. When an allowance runs out the next job is refused before any work starts, with the number it used printed on the refusal.

More units are bought in bitcoin. The checkout is a bitcoin server we run ourselves. Buy from the Buy more box inside the program and the units are added to your key on their own as soon as the payment confirms; buy from the plan buttons above and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that same box. Each payment adds its units once, to one key.
