Subscription pool
70% of all Pro and Team revenue goes into one pool each month. It's split by weighted downloads: a download from a paying member counts more than a free-plan one, and a full font family counts more than a single icon.
- 02
One-off sales
Non-members can still buy your products outright. You keep 70% of the sale price after payment-processing fees. You set the price; we suggest a range based on similar products.
- 03
Launch bonus
Fresh work earns more: everything a product sells in its first 45 days pays you 85% instead of 70%. Every new upload starts its own 45-day window.
- 04
Bring your own buyers
Share your affiliate link anywhere. A sale of your own product that comes through it pays you 85% instead of 70%, and anything else in that order earns you commission.
- 05
No holds, no minimums
Payouts go out on the 1st via Wise, PayPal or bank transfer in 140 countries. No minimum balance, no 30-day hold, no fee on our side.
- 06
Real-time dashboard
See every download, the country it came from, the search terms that found you and your projected payout. The numbers you see are the numbers we pay from.

Who owns my work?
You do. You grant Honed Assets a non-exclusive licence to display and deliver it. You can sell the same products elsewhere and remove them from Honed Assets at any time.
What licence do buyers get?
One plain-English licence: unlimited projects for themselves or clients, never resell or redistribute the files. Team plans upgrade to Extended automatically, and you're paid more for those downloads.
Can I use third-party fonts or photos in my products?
Only if their licence allows redistribution. If you're unsure, the review team checks every upload and will tell you exactly what needs to change.
What about AI?
AI-assisted work is fine when there's real human authorship. Bulk-generated packs without it are rejected, and we never train models on your files.

Before you open a shop.
Read the creator handbookNo. No listing fees, no monthly fees, no fee on payouts. We only earn when you do.
Yes. The licence you grant us is non-exclusive. Many creators sell the same products on their own site and on Honed Assets.
Two business days on average. About a third of first submissions get notes; resubmissions are usually approved the same day.
Complete, well-documented products: full font families over single weights, UI kits with real components, mockup sets with consistent lighting. Quality beats volume in the pool weighting.
On the 1st of every month via Wise, PayPal or bank transfer, in 140 countries. No minimum balance, no 30-day hold. You'll complete a W-8BEN or W-9 from your dashboard before the first payout.
You do. You grant Honed Assets a non-exclusive licence to display and deliver it, and you can remove a product or close the shop at any time. We never train models on your files.
For one-off sales, yes: you set the price and we suggest a range from similar products. Subscription downloads are paid from the pool by weighted download, so a full font family earns more than a single icon.
We handle it. Refunds are only issued for corrupt files or listings that don't match, and they come out of Honed Assets' share, not yours, unless the product itself was misdescribed.
Your next payout starts with one upload.
Open a shop in five minutes. A real person reviews your first product within two days.
