Monetization

Rival lets you publish paid tools and agents to the marketplace. Each time someone runs your work, you earn 85% of the run cost, with the remainder going to Rival’s platform fee (and a referrer, if applicable).

How it works

  1. Build a tool or agent
  2. In the Publish step of the Tool/Agent Editor, choose your pricing
  3. Publish to the marketplace
  4. Earnings accumulate on every paid execution and appear in your Wallet and the Earnings card

Pricing modes

Set in the Publish step of the editor:

  • Free - runnable at no extra fee. Useful for promotion, demos, or open utilities. (Callers still spend their own Run Balance on the execution itself.)
  • Paid per execution - callers pay a price you set per run. You earn from every run.
  • Private - not listed on the marketplace; only your organization can use it. Not eligible for monetization.

You can update pricing later from the tool or agent’s settings.

Revenue split

For every paid execution:

  • 85% to you (creator)
  • 10% to Rival (platform fee)
  • 5% to the referrer, with referral rebate if applicable - comes out of Rival’s cut, not yours

Earnings are credited to your Wallet and reflected in the Earnings card on Billing Overview.

Where to view earnings

  • Billing Overview → Earnings card - Total Earned, Total Withdrawn, and Available, with a Setup Payouts button
  • Earnings dashboard at cortexone.rival.io/earnings - full breakdown by tool/agent and over time
  • Transactions tab at cortexone.rival.io/user/billings - individual credit entries (look for Creator Credits) with status, payment method, and date

What you can do with earnings

Earnings land in your Wallet. From there you can:

  • Top Up Run Balance to fund your own runs
  • Withdraw via the Payouts tab to a connected Stripe or PayPal account

Notes

  • Private tools and agents are excluded from the marketplace and cannot be monetized - publish as Free or Paid instead
  • Discoverability and reliability are the biggest drivers of revenue; document your work well
