Creator tiers

Creator tier system

Tiers recognise creators whose articles consistently reach readers. See what each tier requires and how you move up.

How progression works

Creator tiers are separate from your membership plan. Every creator on a paid plan starts at the first tier and moves up automatically; there is nothing to apply for.

  1. 1. Publish and build readership

    Your reads, reading sessions, followers and published articles are tracked for you.

  2. 2. Regular reviews

    About every 30 days, your activity over the last 30 days is compared with each higher tier's requirements.

  3. 3. Move up

    When you meet every requirement of a higher tier at a review, you move up to it.

The tiers

Monthly figures are measured over the most recent 30 days.

Questions about tiers

No. Your membership plan (Basic or Premium) is what you pay for and lets you write and earn. Your creator tier reflects how widely your articles are read and is earned, not bought.
No. Reviews happen automatically, about every 30 days, based on your activity over the previous 30 days.
Reviews currently only move creators up. Tier rules may change over time, and tiers can be adjusted where content or activity breaks our Terms of Service.
Genuine reader activity on your published articles. Content and activity excluded from monetization, such as spam or artificial reads, doesn't count.
