One platform, not five.
Stop paying for a stack before the release earns anything. Publish and sell with no subscription at $0, then choose a finite Release Pass or Premium Monthly when the lower fee and custom domain fit the film.
Compare · TribuShare vs. the stack
One platform for the life of your film.
From pre-production landing page to PVOD launch to back-catalog revival. TribuShare replaces the hosting + site + email stack filmmakers usually stitch together — one platform instead of three.
Head to head
How TribuShare compares to what you’re using today.
Quick reference. Competitor pricing reflects publicly available annual list prices as of July 2026 — verify on each vendor site.
The stack math
Typically yes. A common filmmaker stack — Squarespace Core (~$29/mo billed annually) plus Vimeo Advanced (~$75/mo billed annually) — runs about $100+ per month before transaction fees, before you add email or anything else. TribuShare starts without a subscription; Release Pass is $249 for 90 days and Premium Monthly is $79 per month, per site (USD, before tax). Competitor prices are public list prices as of July 2026 and change; always verify on the vendor site.

Why filmmakers choose TribuShare
Four structural reasons, not a feature checklist.
Feature lists blur together. These are the four real differences between TribuShare and everything else.
Own your audience, forever.
Full viewer data export at any time — emails, countries, purchase history. The platform is temporary; the audience you build is yours, and it comes with you wherever you go next.
Built for launches, not catalogs.
Most platforms assume you run a subscription catalog. TribuShare assumes you release films — a storefront, checkout, and owned audience built to concentrate revenue on the launch window.
Transparent filmmaker-first pricing.
Start without Premium at 15% + $0.50 per sale. Release Pass and Premium Monthly reduce the fee to 10% + $0.50 per sale and enable a custom domain for that site.
The unique angle
One platform, every stage of your film’s life.
Most tools enter the picture only at release. TribuShare evolves with your film from the first trailer to the anniversary re-release.

Is this for you?
Six filmmaker scenarios where TribuShare fits.
Clear answers so you know if we’re the right tool before you sign up.
The independent filmmaker with a finished feature
You've spent years on your film. You want to release it without giving away 30–50% to a traditional distributor.
Core fitThe documentary team with a cause
Your film has a community angle — faith, environment, advocacy. You need a branded storefront and purchase links community leaders can share through their networks.
Strong fitThe producer with multiple films
You manage distribution for several directors. You need one organization to run multiple storefronts and keep each film’s sales and audience in one place.
Strong fitThe filmmaker reclaiming back-catalog rights
You made a film 10 years ago, rights have reverted to you, and you want to relaunch it with a modern distribution structure.
Strong fitThe filmmaker with a territorial theatrical deal
Your distributor handles North America. You want to sell directly in Europe, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia.
Strong fitThe filmmaker still in development
You're months away from finishing. You want to start building the audience now instead of scrambling at release.
