Question 1

How is PublisherKit different from Google Sheets for managing royalties?

Accepted Answer

PublisherKit automates royalty calculations based on contract terms, generates author statements, tracks payment history, and provides an audit trail.

How much does PublisherKit cost?

Starter plan is $20/month for unlimited authors and up to 100 titles. Pro plan is $50/month for unlimited everything plus financial reports and analytics. Enterprise pricing is custom. All plans include a 14-day free trial.

Question 3

Can PublisherKit track royalties across different contract types?
