Listeners tip. Sponsors pay. Your station: $19/month.
Most internet radio stations only cost money. Yours comes with the tools to bring some in — listener tips, paid memberships and local sponsor spots, paid out to your Stripe or PayPal.
No ad network to apply to, no minimum audience. A handful of loyal listeners and one local sponsor can cover the bill.

From station to income, in three steps
Switch on the tools
Turn on tips, memberships and song requests from your dashboard. They appear in your player and on your station’s listen page.
Connect Stripe or PayPal
Connect once. What listeners pay goes out to your own account automatically.
Sell a local sponsor
Describe the sponsor and the AI writes and voices a ready-to-air spot. Schedule it, and send them the proof-of-play report.
Ways your station can earn
All of these are on every plan, including the $19 Starter.
Listener tips
One-tap tips in your player and app. Small stations earn this way long before they have a big audience.
Paid memberships
Offer a members-only stream — ad-free or higher quality — and turn loyal listeners into monthly supporters.
Sponsor spots
Build your own ad inventory, schedule when spots air, and keep the whole deal you make with the sponsor.
AI-made spots
Type “30 seconds for Joe’s Pizza, family deal” and get a script and voice-over ready to air in seconds.
Proof of play
Reports showing exactly when each spot aired — the thing that gets a sponsor to renew.
Paid song requests
Listeners can pay to request a song, straight from your station page.
Questions people ask first
- How much can I make?
- That depends on your audience and how you sell — we can’t promise a number, and nobody honest can. What we can say: the tools cost nothing extra and there is no minimum audience. For scale: one local business sponsoring your morning show for $50 a month would cover the $19 plan more than twice.
- What does Nobex take?
- A small platform fee on what listeners pay through your station — by default 10% on tips and song requests, 12% on memberships, and 8% on sponsorships sold through your station page. Pro plans pay 25% less on tips, memberships and requests, Business plans 50% less. A sponsor you sell and invoice yourself pays you directly — Nobex takes nothing from that deal.
- How do I get paid?
- Connect your Stripe or PayPal once and payouts go to your own account.
- What does the station itself cost?
- $19 a month, or $190 a year, with unlimited listeners and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
