Clipping agency pricing · Updated June 2026
How MuchDoes a Clipping Agency Cost?
Clipping agencies charge on a CPM basis. It's a cost per 1,000 verified views delivered, not a monthly retainer and not a price per upload. Lumina is a managed clipping agency, so its CPM is custom per 1,000 verified views, quoted per campaign, with a $5,000 minimum. Brands pay only for verified views, and the exact scope gets built on a free strategy call.
Who is a good fit for clipping campaigns?
Estimate your reach & value
Move the slider to see the reach a campaign could deliver for your budget and how that compares to paid ads. These are estimates only, and your exact plan gets built free with our CEO.
Views = budget ÷ CPM × 1,000. Lumina is per 1,000 verified views, quoted per campaign; paid ads are per 1,000 impressions (2025 averages, Gupta Media). Your exact CPM is scoped free on the CEO call, and clipped content keeps compounding after the campaign ends.

You're charged on a CPM basis, meaning cost per 1,000 verified views rather than flat clip packages. Lumina is priced at a custom CPM per 1,000 verified views, quoted per campaign, and campaigns start at $5,000, and where you land in that range depends on platforms, niche and volume, which is why the exact number gets built with our CEO on your free call rather than guessed from a generic package.
And here's the part paid ads can't match: your reach keeps compounding after the campaign ends. Humanity Protocol's launch video was still getting views 3 months after release, paid ads stop the second you stop paying. 1M→57M case study
Paid social averages about $4–$9 per 1,000 impressions (2025: TikTok $4.09, YouTube $7.05, Meta $8.32), and it's resented by the audience as they look at it as a "paid ad they will skip".
