On Insight Timer, teachers can receive donations from listeners who want to support their work.
How much can my listeners donate?
Your listeners can choose from different preset amounts, enabling them to support your cause according to their capacity and preferences.
The amounts are in USD and these options are available:
iOS
- $1.99
- $4.99
- $19.99

- $99.99
- $199.99
Android
- $1.99

- Other
The "Other" option on Android enables listeners to donate a specific amount (up to $999) that suits their budget and support their favorite teachers on the platform.
Do I receive 100% of the donations?
You’ll receive the net amount of each donation after the following deductions are applied:
Apple transaction fee (30%) applied to all donations made through iOS devices.
Foreign exchange fees may apply if your payout currency differs from USD.
Applicable taxes depend on your country of residence and local tax laws.
Insight Timer takes 0% platform fees. We keep our commitment to you by taking 0% of any donation revenue, passing the entire amount to teachers, after Apple's fee (where applicable), currency conversion, and tax adjustments.
Donations will be paid to you monthly and reflected in your monthly statements.
How do I know when I receive a donation?
When users donate to you, you will see them on the Donations tab in your Teacher Dashboard. A red dot will appear as an indicator of a new donation received. In the same tab, you will see the amount donated, who it was from, and if they have left any messages together with the donation.
Can I thank someone who donated?
You can thank listeners who donated directly from your Teacher Dashboard. You can go to the Donations tab, sort by Awaiting, and reply to your donations in the field Write a reply. Once you have replied, your message will be displayed on your Gratitude Wall. To check your Gratitude Wall, open the app, access your profile (you can search for your name on the search bar), and click Donate. You will see a list of everyone who donated.
How users can make donations?
They can donate in various places across the app.
After a user starts “Following” you, a "Donate" button will appear on:
Your profile screen, on the top right
Your track's screen. Once the track starts playing, the donation button will appear at the top right.
On any track, they can go to “More” and will see the donate button after clicking.
