Put Your Crag on the Map
Keep 40%

Red-Point sets aside 40% of net subscription revenue for contributors. Your share is based on how much climbers actually use the areas you've contributed.

Net means after App Store/Google Play fees, required taxes (GST/VAT), and affiliate payouts.

How it works

1

Contribute an area

Scan walls (drone or iPhone Pro), draw routes on the 3D, drop GPS pins, map approaches, and write clear descriptions.

2

We build the guide

We process your imagery into high-fidelity 3D and publish the area in the app.

3

Climbers use it

They explore your walls, open routes, save beta, and log sends.

4

Usage creates points

Each meaningful interaction in your contributed areas generates usage points.

5

40% pool → your share

We split 40% of net revenue across contributors in proportion to their points. More use = bigger slice.

The 40% calculation

Step 1 — Net revenue: Total subscriptions minus App Store/Google Play fees, GST/VAT, and affiliate payouts.
Step 2 — Contributor pool: 40% of net revenue goes to the pool.
Step 3 — Points share: Your points ÷ total points = your percentage of the pool.
Step 4 — Your payout: Your percentage × the 40% pool.

Example

If net subscription revenue is $10,000, the contributor pool is $4,000 (40%). If you earned 12,500 points out of 100,000 total points (12.5%), your share is 12.5% × $4,000 = $500.

Quick FAQs

Is 40% before or after fees/taxes?

After. We calculate the pool from net subscription revenue: gross subscriptions minus App Store/Google Play fees, required GST/VAT, and affiliate payouts.

What generates points?

Area/route views, opens, saves, and logged sends in your contributed areas. We publish the exact scoring so you always know what moves the needle.

Who owns what?

Factual route data stays factual. Your images transfer to us so we can build the 3D guide; we own the processed models. Your text stays yours, licensed for use on Red-Point.
