Tensio
A personal code with a benefit for your audience.
Anyone who enters your code in the app receives free jokers. If they later take out a subscription, you receive a commission. It is paid from our margin and never from the share promised to the organisations.
We assign codes individually and by hand. Briefly tell us on which channels you publish.
The process in three steps
You get your code
The code does not consist of random characters but of your name, for example MAXI rather than K7PQ2XMR. This way it can be remembered from a video without having to be spelled out.
Your audience redeems it
Either at sign-up or later under “Profile → Creator code”. It grants free jokers that never expire. A joker pauses a due day without the stake being forfeited.
A subscription earns you a commission
The commission arises with the first subscription charge of the account concerned and is paid out once the maturity period has ended. Transfers are made in batches and by hand.
Your remuneration and how it is funded
A commission per referred subscription
The rate is agreed individually and depends on your reach. For this reason we do not state a uniform figure here. The rate applicable to a subscription is recorded and not changed retroactively.
Paid from our margin
Of €5.49, Tensio is left with €1.96 a month after tax, the Google fee and the organisation’s share. The commission comes out of that figure. The organisations’ share is publicly promised and remains untouched even if marketing turns out more expensive than planned.
Jokers, not a discount
Your audience deliberately receives no price reduction, as the subscription price is set by Google and not by us. Jokers, on the other hand, are something we can grant ourselves, and their benefit is clear to anyone who has used the app once.
The attribution sticks
Each account is permanently linked to one code. Anyone who came to Tensio through you remains attributed to you, even if the subscription is only taken out months later. A code cannot be swapped for another one afterwards.
Why the commission doesn’t arrive straight away
Five weeks after the first subscription charge we check whether the paid month really ran its course. Only then does it become payable.
- A cancellation does not affect you. Someone who cancels after three weeks keeps Plus until the end of the month. The month has been paid for, and the commission remains in place.
- A refund ends the claim. Google refunds subscriptions in the first few days as a rule. After a refund the subscription counts as unpaid, and no commission arises.
- You cannot redeem your own code. Otherwise commissions could be generated without a genuine audience.
The five weeks follow from Google’s deadlines. An automatic refund is possible for 48 hours, and a goodwill refund via support usually for up to 30 days. If no refund has been made by day 35, the subscription counts as paid.
What we expect from you
Do I need to be convinced by Tensio?
Yes, otherwise a collaboration makes no sense. The app charges real money when someone misses their goal. Recommending it without having used it yourself puts your audience’s trust at risk, and ours as well. We prefer an objective assessment to an enthusiastic one.
Do you provide a script?
No. Two points must, however, be presented correctly. The code gives jokers and not a discount, and Tensio is not a prize draw, because anyone who reaches their goal pays nothing and there is nothing to win. You also have to label advertising as such. This is not a rule set by Tensio but a legal requirement.
How do I find out how often my code is used?
We let you know how many codes have been redeemed and how many subscriptions resulted from them. The jokers give your audience a reason to enter the code at all, and without a code no attribution is possible.
How are payouts handled?
In batches by bank transfer, once the commissions have matured. For that we need your bank details and, depending on country and status, your tax number. Those details are stored apart from the rest and are only loaded for the payout.
Which countries does this cover?
Tensio is available for Android and iPhone, in German and English. Goals for screen time and app usage are still missing on iPhone. If your channel is mainly about those, please let us know in advance.
