How Does Curios Work?

Curios is a creator owned marketplace where creators can distribute their work directly to you.

Creators keep 100% of their list price for any items purchased on Curios, so any purchases you make directly support the people making the content.

Curios is a permanent ownership site. When you purchase or claim content on Curios, it is yours, forever.

You can enjoy any content you buy or claim on the Curios app, on the website, and on the host of partner applications that we support.

DIRECT FROM THE CREATOR

We're on a mission to support the creators of the content that we love. Most digital platforms rely on ads or subscriptions and then shave off fractions of the revenue earned and give those pitiful percentages to the creators of the content. We're on a mission to change that. We think that fans and creators are the only two parties that matter and by connecting the two in an open and honest way, both will win.

On Curios you buy content directly from the creator of that content. Buying an audiobook from your favorite author? That author receives 100% of the purchase, and you now own that audiobook.

Claiming the latest album from a band that you love? You can access the album forever and the band can know you and engage with you on a deeper level.

NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, COMMITMENTS, OR CREDITS

On Curios, you will never be locked into a monthly commitment, be charged without knowing, or have to manage a credit system where your credits expire when you're trying to cancel your subscription.

On Curios, you buy or claim what you want, and you own and can immediately access any content that you receive.

VIEWING AND LISTENING MADE EASY

Any content claimed or purchased can be consumed on the Curios app, on the Curios website, or on any of our partner applications. On the app, content is downloadable for offline consumption and you can easily stream content to an ever growing variety of devices.

BUT WAIT! IF YOU DON'T TAKE A HUGE PERCENT OF THE CREATORS REVENUE AND DON'T SHOW US HUNDREDS OF ADS HOW CAN YOU SURVIVE AS A COMPANY?!

Most digital content distribution platforms are publicly traded, and need to report increases in users, sales, and revenue quarter after quarter so their executives can make millions and millions of dollars off the backs of the authors, musicians, film makers, comedians, and other people who work hard to bring us cherished entertainment.

The internet makes distribution of content cheap and easy and huge percentages/countless ads are not required to keep the lights on. Curios does charge a platform fee at the checkout, however we keep this as low as possible. For us, this is enough.
