Bounty Board pricing

Creating an account is free, and Bounty Board charges a 10% platform fee on each side of completed work, with no subscription and no credits. A campaign that pays creators no cash (game keys only, or a free playtest) posts for a $29 listing fee; cash campaigns have no listing fee. Every campaign is funded up front through Stripe when it is published, and any unused budget is refunded to the studio with its share of the platform fee, less Stripe’s processing fee on the refund, when the campaign closes.

You set a flat fee for each report you accept, at least $5, and how many testers you want, so a playtest costs at most the fee times the testers plus the 10% studio fee. Ten testers at $10 a report charges $110 when you publish, and each tester receives $9. Any unused budget is refunded to the studio with its share of the platform fee, less Stripe’s processing fee on the refund, when the campaign closes. A playtest that pays no cash (game keys only, or a free playtest) posts for a $29 listing fee, which is not refunded.

Yes. A key only campaign distributes game keys to interested creators with no cash reward. A campaign that pays in game keys only is funded by its $29 listing fee and holds no other money. The listing fee is not refunded. Key only campaigns do not require creator work: any coverage is listed as optional for the creators who accept, and keys are delivered automatically when you approve an application.

• Studios are refunded if a creator breaks the campaign terms during the 7 day payout hold.
• Completed work is otherwise not refundable. Cash campaigns and competitions refund their unused budget, fee included, when they close. Stripe’s processing fee on the refund is not returned. The $29 listing fee for a campaign that pays no cash is not refunded.
• All other payment issues, including a studio not paying for completed work, are reviewed case by case. Email admin@bountyboard.gg.
