Do I need a large following to join?
No. The program is designed specifically for micro-creators with smaller but engaged audiences. What matters is that your content is genuine, high-quality, and relevant to tech or productivity.
Which platforms are eligible?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, blog articles, newsletters (Substack, Medium), and personal blogs. Basically, anywhere you create content about apps, productivity, or digital workflows.
How exactly are views counted?
Only organic, platform-native views count. Views are tracked during the first 7 days after your post goes live. After 7 days, you submit a screenshot from your creator dashboard as proof. Views are capped at 100,000 per post for compensation purposes.
Can I mention other apps alongside Setapp?
Yes, for integrated content, it's completely fine to mention other apps. For dedicated content, the video or post should be primarily focused on Setapp or Setapp apps specifically.
When and how do I get paid?
After you submit your content link and analytics screenshot, we verify the results and calculate your earnings. Payment is processed within 30 days after verification.
