You're losing 2 days a month and $100K a year to spreadsheets and bank wires.
Oncade automates the full loop — from platform CSVs to compliant international royalty payouts. One stack replaces the spreadsheet, the wire transfers, and the 3% FX markup.
The hidden cost of paying royalties manually
You optimized your catalog, your store presence, your marketing. But your royalty process is quietly eating $100K+ per year.
12+ platform CSVs, zero standardization
- Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Epic, App Store, Google Play — each with its own report format, currency, and fee structure.
- Someone on your team downloads them all, normalizes the data in Excel, and cross-references against contract terms. Every month.
- At 12+ platforms and 12+ payees, this eats 2+ days of founder or bookkeeper time per cycle.
40 wires at $45 each, plus 3% FX markup
- Each international wire costs $45 in bank fees, plus intermediary deductions. 40 payees × 12 months = $21,600/year in wire fees alone.
- Your bank adds a 2–3% FX markup on every conversion. On $1.5M in outbound royalties, that's another $45,000/year.
- Combined: $66,000/year just in fees — before you count the time spent initiating each wire manually.
Money sits for 60 days earning nothing
- Platforms pay you T+30-60. You add another T+15-30 for manual processing. Your dev partners wait T+45-90 total.
- On $1.5M flowing through, 60 days of idle float at 8% opportunity cost = $19,700/year you're leaving on the table.
- Meanwhile, late payments erode developer trust. They start looking at other publishers who pay faster.
