Questions, answered.

TrueRoyalties is the all-in-one dashboard for self-published authors and publishers: across 31 platforms, it combines your royalties from Amazon KDP, Kobo, Apple Books, Shopify and the others you sell on with your Amazon Ads, Meta Ads and TikTok Ads spend and the costs you add yourself, and computes the real net profit of every book after VAT and withholding tax. It is organised around four questions: am I making money, is anyone reading, what are readers saying, and how do I sell more and prove it.

Selling books means reading a different screen for every question you have. Each platform shows its own royalties and each ad account its own spend, but none of them shows your actual profit — so authors believe they are making money while ad spend quietly eats their margin. And profit is only the first question: whether readers finish the book, whether book 1 carries them into book 2, and what the newest review said all live somewhere else again, none of them on the same page as the money. TrueRoyalties puts all of it on one page.

Self-published authors and publishers — whether you sell only on Amazon KDP or wide — who want to run their whole catalogue from one place instead of flying blind across separate dashboards. Advertisers get the most out of it — net profit only means something once ad spend is in the picture — but the Kindle Unlimited, series and review sides work whether or not you run ads.

Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with full access, no credit card required, and you can cancel anytime.

Create your account, install the browser extension, then connect the platforms you sell on and your ad account: your net-profit view starts filling in. There are no spreadsheets to maintain.

Yes, 7 of them, with no sign-up, running entirely in your browser: the Amazon KDP royalty calculator, the Kobo royalty calculator, the Kindle Unlimited page-rate history, the KENP calculator, the Amazon book sales calculator (from a Best Sellers Rank), the ISBN barcode generator and the QR code generator. They are all on the free resources page.

The platforms you sell on, and your ad account. Amazon KDP, Kobo Writing Life, Draft2Digital, Apple Books, Shopify, WooCommerce and more for royalties and sales; Amazon Ads for spend. TrueRoyalties reads them continuously and keeps your profit view up to date as new data arrives.

Amazon KDP, Kobo Writing Life, Draft2Digital, Apple Books, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, ThriveCart and Fourthwall are synced today, along with Amazon Ads for your ad spend. Many more can already be connected ahead of their import. The full, current list is on the Supported platforms page: trueroyalties.com/platforms.

Yes. Every plan includes a read-only AI assistant connector (an MCP server) and a read-only API. claude.ai and Claude Desktop connect with a sign-in, ChatGPT through its developer mode on a paid ChatGPT plan, and Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with an API key from Settings → API. The assistant then answers questions such as "what did I earn net last month?" from the same figures as the app, and it can change nothing.

Yes. TrueRoyalties only reads your royalty, sales and advertising data to compute your profit. It never changes your books, your prices, your ad campaigns or anything else on the platforms you connect.

No. Your TrueRoyalties login is independent from your Amazon accounts — you can sign up with any email you like.

Yes. TrueRoyalties tracks your whole catalog and gives you both a per-book breakdown and a single consolidated view across every title.

Each KDP account can be linked to a single TrueRoyalties account. This binding protects the integrity of your royalty data.

TrueRoyalties continuously computes Net Profit = Royalties − Ad Spend, per book and across your entire catalog, updating as new royalty and advertising data comes in.

Yes. You get net profit broken down per individual book, plus a global view that consolidates every book and every marketplace into one figure.

Your profit view refreshes as new royalty and ad data arrives from every platform you connect, so you are looking at an up-to-date picture rather than a monthly snapshot you have to rebuild by hand.

TrueRoyalties reconciles both sides and applies real-world adjustments the raw dashboards ignore — advertising spend netted against royalties, taxes, and currency conversion — so the profit figure reflects what actually lands in your pocket.

Every Amazon marketplace you sell and advertise in — US, UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, JP and the rest — plus every other platform you connect, with a single global view layered on top.

Yes. Amounts from every marketplace are converted to your chosen currency, so your global profit is a single consistent number instead of a pile of mixed currencies.

Yes. Your royalties are shown gross — the same figure as your KDP dashboard — and if Amazon withholds tax on them, that withholding is subtracted in your net profit, so your profit is never overstated.

Ad spend is counted tax-inclusive per marketplace, so the advertising cost subtracted from your royalties reflects what you are truly billed — VAT/GST included.

If most of your sales are in a currency other than the one you display, the totals can differ by around 1%. We convert every sale at the real exchange rate on the day it happened; KDP's dashboard uses a rougher 'approximation' rate. Our figure is the more accurate one — and if you switch the display to your sales' own currency, it matches KDP to the cent.

Pick the plan that covers your monthly royalties: $2.99/mo up to $300, then step by step up to $29.99/mo above $10,000. We read your royalties from every platform you connect, so you never self-report — we only use them to check that your plan still fits. Every feature is included on every plan: profit, Kindle Unlimited, series read-through, reviews, smart links and your verified page. Only the royalty cap changes — nothing is ever locked behind a higher plan.

No. You pay a flat monthly price (between $2.99 and $29.99) — never a cut of your earnings. Your royalties only decide which plans fit you.

You pay for the full year upfront and get 2 months free (your monthly price ×10). The monthly check still applies: if a month goes over your plan's cap, you're asked to move up to the higher yearly plan, and you only pay the difference for the rest of the year.

On the 3rd of each month we look at the month that just ended. If it went over your plan's cap, we email you and ask you to move up: you have 14 days, and you only pay the difference for the rest of your billing period. If you don't, your dashboard pauses — your data keeps syncing — until you move up or a month comes back under the cap. Moving down is up to you, at your next renewal.

Payments are handled securely by Stripe. TrueRoyalties never sees or stores your card number — Stripe processes it and shares only what is needed to manage your subscription.

Yes. You can cancel whenever you want and keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.

Your data is used only to compute your profit and is never sold. Access to your royalty and advertising data is read-only, and payment details are handled entirely by Stripe rather than stored by us.

Yes. You can request deletion of your account at any time, and your associated data is removed.
