INDUSTRY - CREATORS & INFLUENCERS

Own your audience,
not just rent it

Turn the audience you built on YouTube or Patreon into subscribers in your own branded app on every screen - no algorithm deciding your reach, no platform taking a giant cut, and the viewer relationship and data finally yours.

WHY OWN IT

Rented platforms own your audience - you should

A creator streaming app is your own branded, subscription-ready video service - a direct-to-fan alternative to renting reach on platforms like YouTube or Patreon, where you keep the audience relationship, the data and most of the revenue.

The relationship is yours

On social platforms the platform owns the audience and the data. Your own app gives you a direct line to fans that no algorithm change can cut off.

Stop losing reach to the algorithm

When reach depends on a feed you do not control, one change can erase your traffic. A subscriber app puts your content in front of fans every time.

Keep more of what you earn

Direct subscriptions and billing mean you are not surrendering a large platform cut on every dollar. More of your revenue stays with you.

KEY FEATURES

Features creators rely on

Your brand on the biggest screen

Full white-label design - your name, logo, color palette, and content organization. Viewers see a polished experience that reflects your brand, not a generic template.

24/7 linear and FAST channels

Schedule your library into a continuous linear stream like a traditional TV channel. The scheduling engine and EPG run it automatically, around the clock.

SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD - your way

Subscription, ad-supported, or pay-per-view - or any combination. Native billing (Roku Pay, Apple/Google IAP), pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and rentals are built in.

Live events, streamed everywhere

Broadcast live to every screen using any RTMP-compatible encoder. Multi-CDN delivery keeps it smooth for a small class or a stadium crowd.

One CMS, every platform

Manage VOD, live, and linear schedules from one unified dashboard. Update metadata, artwork, and shelves once and publish across all your apps instantly.

Analytics that drive decisions

Track views, episode performance, viewer retention, and subscription metrics with daily, monthly, and yearly reports - so you program with real data.

MONETIZATION

How creators monetize directly

Memberships and subscriptions

Turn your most engaged fans into paying members with monthly or annual plans, billed natively on every device - recurring revenue you own outright.

Premium and pay-per-view

Sell exclusive series, live events or premium drops as one-off purchases on top of a membership, capturing peak willingness to pay.

AVOD (ad-supported)

Free to viewers; you earn from pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Server-side ad insertion delivers smooth, blocker-resistant breaks. Best for reach and for FAST channels.

FAQ

Creator app questions, answered

No. Most creators keep using social platforms to grow reach and then convert their most engaged fans into paying subscribers on an app they own. Your app complements social; it does not replace your presence there.

Yes. Your branded app runs natively on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and the smart-TV platforms as well as iOS, Android and web, so fans watch your content on the big screen.

Far more than on revenue-share platforms. OTTEngine uses flat plan pricing rather than taking a percentage of your subscriptions, and direct billing means you are not handing over a large marketplace cut on every sale.

No. The whole platform is no-code. You upload your content, set up your branding and plans in the builder, and OTTEngine handles building and submitting the native apps across every store.

Yes. You can run memberships for recurring revenue and sell premium series, live events or exclusive drops as one-off pay-per-view purchases on top - or add a free ad-supported tier for reach.

Yes. Because it is your own app and your own billing, the first-party audience and viewing data are yours - the foundation for growing retention and revenue on your terms.

Yes. Instead of renting reach on a shared platform, OTTEngine gives you your own branded app on every screen with direct subscription and pay-per-view billing - so you keep the audience, the data and most of the revenue.
