Renting isn't owning. Here's the difference.
Streaming and subscription platforms built real infrastructure for creators to reach an audience. But they never built a way for anyone to actually own anything. nommo fixes that.
A revocable license to stream or access something. Keep paying, or lose it. Cancel, and it’s gone.
A work you own outright, with its own provenance record and, when the creator issues one, a verified digital autograph.
Bandcamp keeps 10 to 15% before payment processing. Patreon takes 8 to 12%. Substack takes about 10%. Spotify pays no per-sale share at all. Streams average $0.003 to $0.005 each, split further with labels and distributors before an artist sees a cent.
A flat 70% to the creator on every sale. No label. No distributor. No extra cut.
Nothing changes hands, because nothing ever really did. A subscription or a stream has no resale value.
A collector can resell a limited-edition work on nommo’s own resale market, at whatever price a buyer agrees to pay, and the creator earns a royalty on that resale too. That secondary market doesn’t exist on any platform above.
Not possible. You can’t lend a Spotify stream or a Substack subscription to a friend.
A collector can lend a work for 7, 14, or 30 days, or gift it permanently. Their own access pauses while it’s out, just like handing over a physical copy.
Patreon’s tiered memberships come closest, but that’s a recurring subscription for perks, not a one-time offer tied to one work.
A creator can personally offer a fan a name-your-own-price or autographed edition of one specific work. No subscription required.
One job each. Spotify streams audio. Substack hosts text. Bandcamp sells audio, with limited video. Switching formats means switching apps.
Listen, Watch, Read, and Live, all under one account and one collection.
An algorithm decides what surfaces. The logic stays hidden.
A curated, human-hosted radio with real on-air moments and DJ interludes. Not a black box.
No standard disclosure requirement for AI-generated or AI-assisted content.
Every work carries its own AI-usage disclosure and credits, so a collector always knows what they’re collecting and who made it.
Figures are what each platform publicly discloses as of mid-2026. Bandcamp’s digital revenue share is 15%, dropping to 10% after $5,000 in lifetime sales, plus 4 to 6% payment processing. Patreon’s platform fee runs 5 to 12% depending on plan, plus payment processing. Substack’s standard fee is 10%. Spotify’s average reported per-stream royalty runs $0.003 to $0.005, a gross pool figure split further with labels and distributors before an independent artist is paid, not a direct sale share. Every platform’s terms can change. Check their current published rates before repeating these numbers anywhere that needs to stay accurate.
