What does a clipping campaign actually cost?
Enter geos, platforms, and budget. We return expected qualified views, average CPV, and time-to-live, calibrated against the FORKOFF ledger of 12M+ qualified views.
How much will your campaign cost?
Enter geos, platforms, and budget. We compute an estimate from the FORKOFF qualification model. calibrated against the 12M+ qualified views already on the ledger.
The estimate is a model, not a quote. We send a real one within 24 hours.
QV cost FAQ
CPM is cost per 1,000 raw views, regardless of whether anyone watched. CPV (or CPQV) is cost per qualified view: only views passing watch-time, policy, geo, and traffic checks count. The denominators are different by 2-3 orders of magnitude.
Advertiser demand differs across markets. US/EU watch is priced higher than SEA. Long-form YouTube has higher CPV than vertical shorts because completion rates and audience intent differ.
Yes. The estimate includes 8% operational fee in the spend so the qualified-view total reflects what actually reaches clipper distribution. For larger retainers, the fee can be negotiated down.
Sandbox-tier brands get unspent budget refunded if the qualified-view floor isn't hit. Retainer engagements are governed by the contract: typically a make-good plus reset on the qualification rule.
The calculator estimates a fresh campaign. If you're running existing assets through clippers, expect 10-20% higher qualification rate (assets are vetted) and faster time-to-live.
Median across the FORKOFF ledger: single-geo + 1-2 platforms typically goes live in 24-36h. Multi-geo or full-platform spreads take 36-48h because clipper routing fills more pools.
The cpvBase numbers update quarterly from ledger averages. The model itself runs on the latest figures every page load.
