Earn on Civitai
Your models, LoRAs, and images power Civitai. Here's every way to earn from your work — and how the Creator Program lets you turn the Buzz you earn into real payouts.
You make Civitai
Every model, LoRA, and image posted here is what brings people to Civitai and keeps them generating. When your work drives that activity, you should share in what it creates — that's what earning on Civitai is all about, whether you're building models or filling the feeds with great generations.

The Civitai Creator Program
Get paid for your work.
The Creator Program is how you earn more and unlock the ability to cash out. Bank the Buzz you earn to claim your share of our monthly Creator Compensation Pool, then get paid your share.
Charge more as you climb
Every creator can monetize their work — your membership tier decides how much you can charge. The higher your tier, the higher your caps.
Higher licensing fee caps. Set a per-generation licensing fee on your models and raise your ceiling as you move up tiers — Bronze, Silver, then Gold each unlock a higher maximum fee.
Higher paid-access price caps. Charge for early or permanent access to your resources. Higher tiers let you set higher access prices, so top-tier members can price their most in-demand work accordingly.
Your caps scale with your tier — Free to Bronze to Silver to Gold — so upgrading your membership raises how much you can earn per resource. Compare membership tiers.
