50/50.
ALWAYS.
dela.fm splits subscription revenue evenly with artists. Scroll to follow a fiver from a fan's pocket to a musician's bank account.
A fan subscribes
Maya subscribes for £5 a month. No ads, crisp 320k audio, timed comments. Her fiver stays hers - earmarked for the artists she's about to play.

Listening is the vote
Every second of playback is counted. No algorithm decides who deserves what - just time. The artists who get played are the artists who get paid.
Her time decides the slice
Maya's fiver is split across the artists she played - nobody else's. Her month was 10 hours; one of them yours means 10% of her artist half is yours. No pot, no dilution, no whales.
her seconds with you ÷ her total seconds
= your slice of her sub
Then we split it. 50/50.
Whatever your slice is, we split it down the middle. Half to you, half runs the platform. Not “up to”. Not tiered. Not renegotiated when you get big.
your slice × 50% = your payout
More fans, more money
The model is simple: more fans, and a bigger share of each fan's listening, means more money. You bring the fans. We make every second count.
- 100 true fans~£50/mo
- 1,000 true fans~£500/mo
- 10,000 true fans~£5,000/mo
Exact, not illustrative: a £5/month subscriber who spends 20% of their listening on you is worth £5 × 20% × 50% = £0.50/month. A month where a fan doesn't press play? Their money waits and follows their next month of listening.
