Frequently asked questions

  • CPM is the cost per 1,000 views or impressions: cost ÷ views × 1,000. A $500 post that gets 50,000 views has a $10 CPM.
  • Brands usually pay a CPM on the views a creator's videos really get. On TikTok that is about $5–$15 per 1,000 views. We use the typical views of TikTok accounts with your follower count, from accounts Tokchart tracks.
  • Earned media value estimates what the reach and engagement of a post would have cost as ads: views at a CPM plus a value for each like, comment, share and save. Vendors use different values, so compare EMV only with the same method.
  • A UGC video, made for a brand to post itself, typically costs $150–$212. Paid usage rights, raw footage and extra hooks usually cost more.
  • Below $10 per 1,000 views is cheap for TikTok and Instagram Reels; YouTube integrations often run $15–$50 because the videos live longer.
