FORKOFF is an AI marketing agency based in San Francisco, founded by Kshitij JK and Kartik Chugh, who goes by Simba. It sells a wider marketing practice. Clipping is one part of it.
Clipping is one of five FORKOFF services
Scope, not quality: the five agency services FORKOFF's FAQ lists, next to Lumina Clippers.
FORKOFF's FAQ lists five agency services: Founder Funnel, Podcast, Events, Clipping and Product launch video. The same FAQ says clipping runs as a separate product at clips.forkoff.xyz. Its Terms of Service describe the company's services as Web3 marketing, growth strategy and related consulting. On 22 Oct 2026, 93 of the 654 URLs in FORKOFF's sitemap were about clipping.
Lumina Clippers is built around clipping and short-form distribution.
FORKOFF's contact page sets its focus as "Tech · SaaS · deep tech · Web3/AI" brands past product-market fit. Its FAQ names AI startups, AI agents, Web3 protocols, L2s, DeFi and gaming. It also states: "We do not run engagements for ICPs we have no operating fluency in." FORKOFF also has clipping pages for consumer apps and podcasts.
Lumina Clippers runs campaigns for AI and SaaS, crypto and Web3, podcasts, music, founders, politics and iGaming. If your brand sits outside FORKOFF's lists, ask about fit before you wait on a decision.
FORKOFF works by application. Its About page says engagements are "capped at five engagements per quarter." Its contact form reads: "Reply only on ICP fit. Decision in 5 business days." On the brand page, sandbox-tier brands go live in under 48 hours, while retainer engagements run a 1 to 2 week onboarding window.
Lumina Clippers starts with a strategy call. There is no application step.
FORKOFF publishes its own FORKOFF vs Lumina Clippers page. It describes Lumina as "marketplace-style" with "Open marketplace" vetting and calls our network "62,000 unvetted clippers." It also puts a raw CPM range on Lumina and models it at roughly 35% legitimacy. Here is what Lumina's own pages say.
| FORKOFF's claim about Lumina (checked 22 Oct 2026) | What Lumina Clippers' pages say |
|---|---|
| Marketplace-style, open marketplace | Lumina is a managed clipping agency. Our homepage reads: "not an open marketplace." Our team cuts every clip. |
| Unvetted clippers | Our homepage reads: "we vet every one of the 62,900+ clippers before they can post for you." |
| A raw CPM, billed on raw views | Lumina does not publish a CPM. Pricing is custom per campaign and billed on verified views only. |
| About 35% legitimacy | That figure is FORKOFF's assumption, not a Lumina number. We bill only views that pass three checks. |
Read both pages and judge for yourself.
The biggest working difference in Lumina Clippers vs FORKOFF is who makes the cut. At Lumina Clippers, our in-house team cuts every clip. At FORKOFF, the brand page says "the clippers cut and post from their own accounts." Both say every clip is reviewed before it goes live.
| Step | Lumina Clippers | FORKOFF (brand page, 22 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | We write it from one call | "We extract those moments" |
| Cut | Our team cuts | "The clippers cut and post from their own accounts" |
| Review | Every clip checked against your brief before it goes live | "Every clip passes brand-safety review … before it posts" |
| Post | Vetted creators, from their own accounts | Screened clippers, from their own accounts |
| Disclosure | Paid partnership labels wherever the platform or regulator wants them | The paid-partnership label "the platform and the FTC" require |
| Report | Live dashboard, billed on verified views | Live dashboard plus a CSV or JSON per-view export with reason codes |
| Your team still does | Approve the brief, send the footage, flag anything under embargo | Apply, wait for the decision, then onboard |
Lumina Clippers asks for your launch date and whether anything is under embargo at intake. Disclosures, restricted claims and takedowns are handled. Creator posts stay on creator accounts by default, and paid usage rights or raw cuts are agreed at intake.
FORKOFF's clipping page says that on its network tier "the clipper owns the account and the brand rents the reach," with a separate dedicated brand-account tier. We did not find embargo or takedown steps on the FORKOFF pages we read on 22 Oct 2026.
Both bill only on views that pass checks. They define those views differently.
FORKOFF defines a qualified view as "a clip view watched long enough on a real device in your target geo." Each view passes four checks: watch time, policy, geo and traffic validity. Rejected views get a reason code. The watch threshold "is set in the brief," and FORKOFF's pages cite TikTok values from a 1.5 second baseline up to 15 seconds. Its headline legitimacy figure is 99.71%. Two named campaigns on the same page show 89% and 89.9%.
A verified view passes three checks: it came from a real person rather than a bot, it has real watch time behind it, and it carries the engagement a real audience leaves. Lumina Clippers bills on verified views only and shows them on a live dashboard.
For the full method, read how we verify views.
Our case studies page lists named campaigns with their own counts. Riverside reached 7.7M views from 7,982 videos. Stake reached 1.8B+ views from 506 videos. OKX, Polkadot, Adobe and Midjourney are on the same page. Across the network, our homepage reports 18B+ verified views.
Open our case studies to check each campaign for yourself.
We found four FORKOFF clipping campaigns with numbers:
The first three, on FORKOFF's clipping page, each list "out of 6.1M raw submitted" and "142 operators paid." Ask FORKOFF how those figures map to a campaign like yours.
Lumina Clippers holds 5.0 on Clutch from five reviews. FORKOFF's Clutch profile shows 0 reviews. Both checked on 22 Oct 2026.
FORKOFF states "5B+ views processed" on its clipping page. The "1,200 vetted clippers" figure appears on its Lumina comparison page and on other FORKOFF pages. Both figures also appear in a July 17, 2026 release on ACCESS Newswire, which lists FORKOFF as the source. We did not find a third-party audit of either figure on the pages we read.
| Lumina Clippers | FORKOFF (checked 22 Oct 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Custom per campaign, billed on verified views | Billed on qualified views |
| Entry point | $5,000 minimum | Clipping Foundation from $3,500 across three campaigns |
| Rate shown | Quoted per campaign on a strategy call | $0.003 average per qualified view |
| Trial | No sandbox listed on the pricing page | "Apply for $1,000 sandbox," with the unmet part refunded if the view floor is missed |
| Retainer | None, no lock-in | "Lean engagements start in the low five figures monthly" for agency work |
FORKOFF states an average of $0.003 per qualified view. That is $3 per 1,000 qualified views. At that published reference rate, 10 million qualified views would come to about $30,000. This is our arithmetic on their published reference rate, not a quote from FORKOFF.
Lumina Clippers starts with a strategy call. Most campaigns go live within 24 to 72 hours once we have your content, goals and brand guidelines.
FORKOFF starts with an application and a decision in up to five business days. After that, its clipping page says most campaigns go live within 24 to 48 hours of brief acceptance. Once accepted, FORKOFF's stated launch time is shorter than ours. The application step comes first.
Set how far away your launch is and when your footage, goals and brand guidelines will be ready. Each lane lays its company's published steps along the same days.
Every day on this clock is our own arithmetic on each side's published windows, in whole calendar days. Five business days are counted as up to seven calendar days, and FORKOFF's brief is assumed accepted on the day your material is ready. FORKOFF's brand page says sandbox-tier brands go live in under 48 hours.
Lumina Clippers publishes market pages for the UK, Canada, Latin America, the UAE, Germany, France, Spain and an Arabic-language page. We do not promise that views stay inside one country.
FORKOFF routes clippers by geography. Its brand page names "active geo pools" in Southeast Asia, the UAE, the UK, India and the US.
