FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between the 15% platform fee and Stripe's processing fee?
The 15% is Riverbend Live's platform fee, deducted automatically via Stripe Connect. Stripe also charges its standard 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction — paid by your business, same as any Stripe payment. The 15% does NOT cover Stripe's processing — but our flat fee is still well below OnlyFans (20%) or comparable platforms that layer multiple fees on top.
Can I switch tiers mid-month?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle.
What counts as a "free event viewer"?
A concurrent viewer watching an event you've published without a PPV ticket. If you sell tickets, viewer count is uncapped on every tier — the cap only protects you from CDN cost blowouts on giveaway or free events.
What's the bonding router and do I need one?
It's a hardware unit that combines multiple internet connections into one redundant stream. You only need it if you're streaming from places with unreliable connectivity — venues, outdoors, mobile setups. Most home or studio creators don't need it.
How does live translation pricing work?
Live AI Translation is enabled per account with a one-time $99 activation, then billed by the hour per destination language while you're live — $39/hour for a solo host (one-way) and $69/hour for host plus an on-stage guest (two-way). Translated audiences stream over LiveKit rather than the standard CDN, so they're billed at $0.50 per peak concurrent viewer from the first viewer (no free cap); events longer than 4 hours add $0.15 per viewer for each additional hour.
Do I need a paid plan to use add-ons?
Live AI Translation is separate from your subscription — it's enabled per account (off by default; contact us to switch it on) rather than bundled into any plan, then billed per event by the hour. The bonding router is a one-time $400 hardware purchase available on Creator, Professional, and Enterprise.
What are managed services?
For organizations that want us to run the event end to end — managed production and white-glove launch, satellite acquisition, or a private whitelabel deployment. These are custom-scoped and custom-priced. Talk to sales to get started.
How does the affiliate program payout work?
Every producer gets a unique referral link on signup. When someone you refer makes their first transaction, your 12-month earning window starts. You earn 5% of their gross platform revenue (PPV + future subscriptions), paid directly to your Stripe Connect bank account on the same schedule as your own payouts.
Do you offer a free trial on paid tiers?
No trial — start on Starter (always free) and upgrade once you need more hours, more viewers, or specific features. No credit card required to stream your first event.
