Nalar

Nalar is a web-based digital content and monetization platform for African creators who want to sell video content, live experiences, and products directly to fans using a credit system.

Key capabilities include:

• Seven earning formats from one creator profile: long-form Videos (free or premium with creator-set credit pricing), 90-second Sparks in a swipe feed for discovery, Series bundles (pay once, access all episodes and future additions), Live Streaming (free or paid entry), Circles (live multi-way video classes plus a group chat that stays open between sessions, billed as a monthly subscription in credits), Consultations (paid 30-minute 1:1 calls that unlock after a Trusted Creator badge), and a Shop for physical or digital products.
• Credits and local payments: fans buy credits with M-Pesa, EcoCash, or cards, then spend them to unlock creator content. Creators keep 75% of credits spent on them.
• Payout rules designed for creators: no minimum payout, and the site states that the first sale triggers a payout.
• Content protection for premium media: anti-screenshot defaults, recording/save blocking, tab-switch blur and pause behavior, per-viewer moving watermarks, short-lived signed URLs for premium streams, and DMCA takedown support.

Available on Web.

Target users are individual African creators and their audiences, including filmmakers, educators, musicians, coaches, streamers, and tutors.

Notable in an African market context, it focuses on monetization in countries where global platforms can have payout and availability limits, with mobile money support and a clear split between free discovery (Sparks) and paid offerings.
