So, Does Viusasa Pay More Than Youtube?

Absolutely Yes, However, the amount of money Viusasa content partners make from the platform remains undisclosed because one has to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement ) which stops the Viusas creator from disclosing the details of how much they receive and the subscription sharing model of the platform. That means creators are the only ones who can relaibly tell us how much they earn and the additional benefits they receive by partnering with Viusasa.

But according to some reliable sources, the content producer is supposed to take home 60% while Viusasa takes only 40%. This reliable article revealed that since 2018, many people who supplied their content made as little as Ksh600 to Ksh20,000.

Since the Viusas platform boasts with over 1 million downloads from the app store, it is most likely that the company pockets in millions of money from the affordable subscription rates they offer to its members. This means that a content partner most likely walks away with a good amount of money every month once their videos are watched and monetized compared to how they could have made it on YouTube.
