Developer Tiers were created to give studios more tools, visibility, and growth opportunities on OppaiMan. Each plan unlocks different benefits such as Home page placement, Explore visibility, trailers, bundles, blog export, automatic translation and other features. This way, every developer can choose the Tier that best fits their project size and goals.

Automatic entry into the Free Tier

Every developer automatically starts in the Free Tier.
With it, you can already publish games, sell via One-Time Payment, and use the platform’s basic features.
If you want more visibility or extra tools, you can upgrade to another Tier at any time.

Paid Plans

Starting from the Starter Tier, all paid plans allow the developer to receive payments directly through Patreon.
Supporters are automatically recognized on the game page, which means the developer can monetize even without selling via One-Time Payment.

Upgrading or downgrading

The system is flexible:

• Upgrading immediately unlocks the new benefits
• Downgrading returns the account to the Free Tier
   

A developer will also return to the Free Tier if:

• The Patreon subscription is canceled
• The payment fails

• The subscription period expires

   

Tiers
 

Free Tier

Ideal for developers who are starting or testing the platform.
You can publish your game, sell via One-Time Payment, and access the basic tools available to all creators.
It is the default Tier for every new developer and does not require payment or subscription
 

Starter Tier

Focused on small studios or early projects that want more visibility than the Free Tier.
The developer gains access to extra features such as limited Home visibility, priority in some lists, and tools that help build an initial audience
 

Standard Tier

Recommended for growing projects.
This tier offers stronger visibility, appearing in key Home sections with higher ranking and more traffic.
It is the most balanced option for developers who want long-term exposure without the cost of a Premium plan
 

Premium Tier

The most complete tier, focused on maximum visibility
Games can appear in top positions on the Home page, including the large banner area and other high-impact placements
Ideal for bigger launches, important updates, or studios that want to scale their audience fast

Banner rules and best practices

• The banner image must be the SFW promotion image set on the game page
• The text shown on the banner is always the short description

Changing the banner art from time to time helps avoid banner fatigue and usually improves performance
If the developer removes the promotion image or uploads something that breaks the rules, the banner will stop showing even if the Tier is active.

What happens to the banner when the Tier expires?

When a Tier ends, the banner and highlighted positions remain on the Home page for two more days.
After that period, the game automatically returns to standard Free Tier visibility.
 

Where the banner image comes from

Developers do not need to create a separate banner.
OppaiMan automatically uses the Safe For Work Promotion Image set on the game page.
If the developer removes this image or uploads something that breaks the rules, the banner will stop showing even if the Tier is active.

Payment and subscription

• Tiers are subscribed through Patreon
• Billing is automatic and recurring until the developer cancels
• Prices may vary by region and currency
• If Patreon cannot process the payment, the account returns to the Free Tier

The Tier only grants access to the features listed for that plan. It does not create a commercial partnership, revenue share, or employment relationship with OppaiMan.

Tier changes

The Tiers is currently in Beta.
This means that rules, pricing, and features may change as we continue to test and improve the system.
If any important changes happen, developers will be notified through the Dev Area or by email, with enough time to decide whether to continue, switch plans, or cancel.
 

Cancellation and refunds

• Cancellation must be done through Patreon
• After cancellation, the Tier remains active until the end of the already-paid period
• Once the period ends, the account automatically returns to the Free Tier
• There are no proportional refunds unless required by law or explicitly stated otherwise

Billing and payment issues must be handled directly with Patreon.

Additional important information

1. A banner increases visibility, but does not guarantee sales. A weak game page or unstable build can still result in low conversion.
2. Game positioning on the Home page can change over time, since some areas use engagement and popularity algorithms.
3. Banners with very low performance may be removed or replaced to avoid wasted visibility and maintain good results on the Home page.
4. Misleading content or rule violations can remove the banner or highlight, even with an active Tier.
5. The banner image must follow OppaiMan’s SFW rules.
6. Games without a playable version, unstable builds, or unsafe content may lose visibility.
