Fee-Based Aggregators
Pay a flat fee per platform — and keep 100% of your revenue after the store's cut. No ongoing percentage taken from your earnings. Best for filmmakers who have a marketing plan and are confident in their film's commercial potential.
Bitmax
Bitmax works on a fee-for-service model. You pay roughly $2,198 for the first platform plus ~$200 for each additional platform. Once your film is live, you keep 100% of the revenue after the platform's cut. You pay upfront whether or not your film earns back the investment — so this model rewards filmmakers who can drive their own audience.
Quiver Digital
Quiver charges a flat fee per platform delivery — no revenue splits. You keep 100% of what you earn after the store's cut. Their support is limited to packaging and clean metadata delivery; no PR or marketing is included. Best suited for filmmakers who already have a promotional strategy and just need professional-grade access to premium stores.
Premiere Digital
Premiere Digital is a major media services company that handles technical delivery at studio grade — QC, encoding, subtitling, metadata, and delivery. They don't acquire rights or take revenue shares. They're rarely a direct option for indie filmmakers, but if a distributor is using them, your film gets professional pipeline delivery to virtually every major platform worldwide.
Under the Milky Way
Under the Milky Way is a global film aggregator with offices across the U.S. and Europe, founded in 2010. They combine a fee-for-service model (encoding, QC, placement) with a revenue share on sales. Their strongest asset is a preferred partner status with Apple TV/iTunes. They also cover Amazon, Google TV, and regional/global VOD platforms with localized versions for international markets.
