The per-member fee
What USD 1.99 a subscriber adds up to
as your audience grows
Uscreen's Growth plan bills a fee for each subscriber every month, on top of the plan itself. These are the fees alone, before the plan price and before card processing.
USD 199
Growth fees, 100 subscribers
USD 1.99 each a month, plus the plan
USD 995
Growth fees, 500 subscribers
USD 1.99 each a month, plus the plan
USD 3,980
Growth fees, 2,000 subscribers
USD 1.99 each a month, plus the plan
On uncompressed.io the per-subscriber fee is zero at every size. You pick a plan by how much film you store and how many hours your audience watches: Lite at USD 9, Pro at USD 39 or Max at USD 99 a month. Card processing applies on both platforms and is left out so the comparison stays like for like.
Uscreen's Starter plan has no subscriber fee, but it caps you at 100 subscribers and takes 10% of one-time sales. App Essentials lowers the subscriber fee to USD 0.99 and adds two mobile apps. Every Uscreen plan except Starter keeps 5% of one-time sales.

An honest fit
Who should switch
and when Uscreen is better
Switch if
You sell films, series, masterclasses or a members-only library, your audience is growing past a few hundred members, and you want the full price of every charge in your own account. You care how the picture looks and a leaked premiere would cost you sales.
Stay with Uscreen if
Live classes or live events are part of what members pay for, you need member community features such as DMs and challenges, or you want one vendor to build and run iOS and Android apps for you. Those are real strengths, and uncompressed.io does not offer live streaming or a community feed.

Moving over
How to switch from Uscreen
without losing members
Export your list

Upload your library
Upload your films as exported. If part of your catalog lives on Vimeo, import it in one step.
Rebuild your offer
Recreate each membership tier with a monthly price, a yearly price or both, and set purchase, rental and bundle prices.
Give a reason to move
A free trial per tier or a first-month coupon, and a clear date after which new releases appear only on the new shop.
Your audience watches on phones, laptops and TVs. Each paid plan includes viewing hours a month (Lite 1,000, Pro 5,000, Max 15,000, Studio 25,000); above that, playback never pauses and an extra block is added.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is a good Uscreen alternative for a small creator?
For a creator who mainly sells films, series or a members-only video library, uncompressed.io offers memberships, rentals, purchases and bundles with 0% commission and no per-subscriber fee, and streams each film as exported. Uscreen remains stronger if you need native live streaming, community features or mobile apps in one package.
How much does Uscreen cost?
Uscreen's pricing page lists Starter at USD 49 a month (monthly only) with a 10% fee on one-time sales and a 100 subscriber limit. Growth adds USD 1.99 per subscriber and 5% on one-time sales; App Essentials adds USD 0.99 per subscriber and 5%; Custom is quoted after a demo.
Does uncompressed.io charge per subscriber?
No. There is no per-subscriber fee and no percentage of any sale. You pay a flat plan, and your own payment provider charges its card fee on each charge.
Can I move my Uscreen subscribers to another platform?
Your subscribers are your audience, but payment details do not move between platforms. Export your member email list, invite members to the new storefront, and use a free trial or first-month coupon to make the switch cost them nothing. Buyers of single films can be granted access again from an email list.
Does uncompressed.io do live streaming like Uscreen?
No. uncompressed.io has no live streaming and no community feed. If live events or member chat are central to your business, Uscreen or a live platform is the better fit.
Is Uscreen good for filmmakers?
Uscreen is built for fitness, education and faith video businesses as much as film, and it does that job well. Filmmakers who care about picture quality, want the money in their own account on every charge, or need to trace a leak may prefer a film-first platform.
Sell your films without a fee per member.
The streaming platform, memberships and shop come with every paid plan (Lite USD 9, Pro USD 39, Max USD 99, Studio USD 219 a month), with no commission. Buyers pay into your own payment account.
