Podcast Revenue Tracking: Sponsors, Patreon, and Affiliates in One Place
Podcast money arrives three different ways: sponsors who pay invoices late, Patreon on its own schedule, and affiliate programs with their own thresholds. Earnly puts all three on one board with fees, take-home, and nudges for the invoices going stale.

In short
Podcast revenue tracking means one number across sponsor money, listener support, and affiliate income, three streams that arrive in completely different ways. Sponsors pay against invoices you send, often on net-30 or net-60 terms that quietly slip. Patreon takes a flat 10% platform fee from creators who joined after August 4, 2025 (legacy creators keep older 5% to 12% rates) plus payment processing of about 2.9% plus $0.30, as published, and initiates payouts on the 5th. Affiliate programs pay on their own thresholds and schedules. Earnly puts all three on one board: gross, fees, and take-home per source, lite invoicing that tracks which sponsor invoices are paid and which are overdue and nudges you to follow up, and a payout calendar showing when Patreon and each affiliate payment should land. The next-month forecast band, always labeled an estimate, gives you a working number even while a sponsor sits on a net-60 invoice. Earnly never touches the money; it is informational analytics. Creator at $32 per month billed yearly, the most popular plan, fits most podcasters running sponsors plus Patreon.
What changes
Three things you stop doing by hand
Sponsor invoices stop going stale
Every sponsorship invoice is tracked as sent, paid, or overdue, with nudges to follow up, so net-30 terms stop drifting into net-90 by accident.
Patreon take-home, not gross pledges
Pledges show after the platform fee (a flat 10% for creators who joined after August 2025) and processing, on the calendar around the 5th, so listener support is a real number, not a hopeful one.
Three streams, one working number
Sponsors, Patreon, and affiliates roll up into one take-home view with a forecast band, always an estimate, so you can tell whether the show is actually growing.
Who this fits
Podcasters earning from any mix of sponsorships, Patreon or listener support, and affiliate links who want one board instead of three tabs and a spreadsheet.
