Revenue Sharing

New revenue from reader relationships

Allspice is designed to help publishers create new revenue streams from the reader relationships they are already building. Participating publishers can earn revenue through Allspice Premium subscription revenue share, premium products sold through Allspice from their own content, and planned grocery affiliate pass-through for supported integrations.

Overview

Allspice gives publishers a way to participate in revenue generated from readers who discover and use Allspice through their site.

There are three revenue share models:

Allspice Premium subscriptions: publishers receive 25% of net subscription revenue from attributed users
Publisher-created premium products: publishers receive 90% of net revenue from premium products sold through Allspice that are based on their own site content
Grocery / ingredient shopping commerce (planned): for supported integrations, Allspice intends to pass through 100% of attributable grocery affiliate revenue to the publisher/site, subject to applicable partner terms

"Net revenue" means revenue after payment processing fees, platform fees, refunds, chargebacks, and applicable taxes.

Participating publishers receive 25% of Allspice Premium subscription revenue, after fees, for subscriptions attributed to their site.

This applies when a reader discovers Allspice through your site and later becomes an Allspice Premium subscriber.

The subscription does not need to happen during the same visit. If the user originally created their Allspice account from your site, future Allspice Premium subscription revenue can still be attributed back to your site.

How Premium subscription attribution works

Allspice Premium subscription attribution is based on where the user's Allspice account originated.

A Premium subscription may be attributed to your site when:

the reader creates their Allspice account through the Allspice widget on your site
the reader starts using Allspice on your site and later upgrades
the reader subscribes inside the Allspice app after originally creating their account from your site

Example:

If a reader creates an Allspice account while using the widget on your site, then later opens the Allspice app and subscribes to Premium, that subscription can still be attributed to your site.

Premium products created by publishers

Publishers will also be able to sell premium products through Allspice.

For premium products that are created by the publisher and based on the publisher's own site content, the publisher receives 90% of net revenue.

This is separate from the Allspice Premium subscription revenue share.

The 25% revenue share applies to Allspice Premium subscriptions. The 90% revenue share applies to premium products that are created from your content and sold to readers through Allspice.

Grocery & ingredient shopping commerce

Supported grocery and ingredient shopping integrations are planned. For those integrations, Allspice intends to pass through 100% of attributable grocery affiliate revenue to the publisher/site, subject to applicable partner terms.

This is separate from Allspice Premium subscription revenue share and publisher-created premium products. See the Affiliate links doc for current setup guidance.

Examples of premium products

Premium publisher products may include:

premium meal plans
premium recipes
paid recipe collections
seasonal cooking guides
grocery-focused recipe bundles
future paid products created from your site content

Example:

If your site creates a paid 7-day dinner plan using your own recipes and sells it through Allspice, your site would receive 90% of the net revenue from that product.

How payouts are calculated

Revenue shares are calculated on net revenue.

Net revenue generally means the amount actually received after deductions such as:

payment processing fees
app platform fees, when applicable
refunds
chargebacks
applicable taxes

For Allspice Premium subscriptions, the publisher share is 25% of net revenue from attributed subscribers.

For publisher-created premium products, the publisher share is 90% of net revenue from products based on that publisher's content.

For planned grocery and ingredient shopping integrations, attributable affiliate revenue is intended to pass through to the publisher/site at 100%, subject to applicable partner terms.

Timeline

Revenue sharing and payouts are expected to go live shortly after the premium meal plan system.

The payout infrastructure is being added alongside meal planning because payouts are needed for both Allspice Premium subscription revenue sharing and publisher-created premium products.

These systems will become available by the end of June 2026.

Allspice is being built with publishers, not against them. Our goal is to create new revenue opportunities for publishers while keeping the reader experience useful, accessible, and aligned with the value of publisher content.
