|---|---|---|
| Operating model | Managed agency. Strategist briefs the campaign, vets the clipper roster, qualifies every delivered view. ▸ Managed vs self-serve | Open marketplace. Brand posts a campaign, clippers self-apply, qualification stays brand-side. |
| Pricing denominator | $0.003 per qualified view (CPQV). Only views that pass all four checks count toward spend. ▸ CPQV vs raw views | Per-clip bounties or raw CPM on submitted views. No qualification denominator. |
| Audit trail | Append-only qualified-view ledger, exportable CSV/JSON, per-view reason codes when a view is rejected. | Marketplace dashboard counts. No per-view qualification audit, no rejection reason codes. |
| Geo routing | Clippers matched to your geo brief; payout rates differ by market band so traffic comes from the country you actually sell in. | Open marketplace. Geo is a self-tag on the clipper profile, not a routing rule the brand controls. |
| Brand-safety policy enforcement | Policy gate runs on every view: blocked keywords, off-brand placement, low-watch-time abandons. Filtered views excluded from billing with a reason code. | Brand reviews submissions manually. Policy enforcement is reactive and unbilled work for the brand team. |
| Time to live | Brief to live in under 48 hours. 14-day sandbox available at $500. | Live the moment your campaign is published. Time-to-quality depends on which clippers self-apply. |
Clipaffiliates is good at being a marketplace. FORKOFF is good at running the campaign for you and gating spend on views that actually clear four checks. Different lanes, both valid.
Adjacent, not identical. Clipaffiliates is an open marketplace where brands post campaigns and clippers self-source the work. FORKOFF is a managed clipping agency where a strategist runs the campaign end to end and the contract gates spend on qualified views. Brands that want a marketplace pick Clipaffiliates. Brands that want managed outcomes with a per-view audit ledger pick FORKOFF.
Clipaffiliates lets brands post per-clip bounties or raw CPM payouts on submitted views. FORKOFF prices on $0.003 per qualified view (CPQV). The denominator is the difference. A qualified view is one that watched long enough, in the right country, on a real device, against a brand-safe placement. If a view does not qualify, FORKOFF does not bill it.
Yes. FORKOFF layers the qualification engine, geo routing and audit ledger on top of any clipper roster you already work with. The brief becomes managed, the receipts become defensible, and the rejected views get reason codes attached.
When the budget owner has to defend the line item to a CFO or a treasury committee, dashboard view counts are not enough. FORKOFF emits an append-only ledger with one row per qualified view: video ID, watch duration, geo, traffic-validity check, reason code if rejected. The export reconciles against MMP or treasury reporting. A marketplace dashboard does not.
No. On Clipaffiliates the brand reviews submissions and pulls anything off-brand manually. On FORKOFF the policy gate runs on every view before billing: blocked keywords, off-brand placement, low watch-time abandons. Filtered views drop out of spend with a reason code, so the work moves from brand-side reactive to operator-side preventative.
Pick Clipaffiliates if you want a marketplace, you have an internal team that can vet clippers and qualify submissions, and you are optimising on raw view counts. Pick FORKOFF if you want a managed agency, the contract priced on outcomes, and the audit ledger that lets you reconcile against treasury or MMP reporting.
