Sponsorship Rates for a 5,000-Viewer Streamer

A brand says $5,000 for the stream. At 2,500 CCV that offer is near Gamesight's floor for a 3-hour dedicated stream. At 5,000 concurrent viewers it is under the floor. Same CPVH formula, twice the room: 15,000 viewer-hours. $5,000 ÷ 15,000 = $0.33 per viewer-hour — under Gamesight's $0.60 floor.¹

This page is the 5,000-CCV row, the last band on the rates table and the top of Sponsee's mid-tier range (roughly 100–5,000). How the formula works is on how much to charge. Siblings: 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500.

The working-band 3-hour window here is $9,000–$22,500. Launchpoint's "$500 and $5,000 per sponsored stream" band is scoped to a follower-defined cohort — 5K–200K followers, which Launchpoint glosses as typically averaging 100 to 2,000 concurrent viewers.² Do not file $9,000–$22,500 as any part of that band. The window's floor ($9,000) sits above that band's $5,000 end. Two constructions. The number you can defend is the viewer-hour one.

The same Launchpoint piece compares creators "holding 1,000+ viewers" at $2,000+ per stream.² Treat that as a deal-size observation sitting next to the 5,000-CCV math — not a CPVH they publish for this row, and not a ceiling once the room is 5,000.

The working band at this size

Same unit as the rest of the series, different room. The working-band construction is $0.60–$1.50: Gamesight publishes $0.60–$1.00,¹ Launchpoint publishes mid-tier $1.00–$2.00,² and this site places the ceiling at the midpoint of $1.00 and $2.00 — not a figure either source states outright. At 5,000 CCV that is:

$3,000–$7,500 per sponsored hour

5,000 × $0.60 = $3,000. 5,000 × $1.50 = $7,500.

Sponsored hours	Viewer-hours	Floor ($0.60)	$1.00 (source overlap)	Working high ($1.50)
1 hour	5,000	$3,000	$5,000	$7,500
2 hours	10,000	$6,000	$10,000	$15,000
3 hours	15,000	$9,000	$15,000	$22,500
4 hours	20,000	$12,000	$20,000	$30,000

Put the two published CPVH bands on a 3-hour dedicated stream and Gamesight lands at $9,000–$15,000, Launchpoint at $15,000–$30,000. This site's rates-table figure is the working-band row: $9,000–$22,500. Use it as a benchmark. Do not treat it as a quote.

The same $5,000 against three dedicated hours is $0.33 CPVH, under the floor. Against one hour it is $1.00 CPVH ($5,000 ÷ 5,000) — the source-overlap rate, inside the working band. What they are buying is duration. If the brief is a mid-stream read, price that deliverable off the hourly, not as a discount off $22,500.

The overlay line at this size is still a fraction of the hourly, not a second rate card. sponsorship.so puts it at 20–40% of hourly for the hours it is up.³ Three hours at 5,000 CCV: $1,800 at the floor (0.20 × $3,000 × 3), $9,000 at the working high (0.40 × $7,500 × 3).

Twitch plus YouTube Live is one inventory: 3,500 CCV + 1,500 CCV prices as a 5,000-CCV stream.

Exclusivity and usage at 5,000 CCV are paid lines, not included because the room looks like a "real" channel. The invoice is a purchase order. Sponsee does not take a cut of it.

FAQ

How much should a 5,000-viewer streamer charge for a sponsored stream?
At 5,000 CCV the working band ($0.60–$1.50 per viewer-hour) prices a 3-hour dedicated stream at $9,000–$22,500 and a 1-hour integration at $3,000–$7,500. Benchmark range. Not a promised deal.

Is $5,000 a fair offer at 5,000 CCV?
Not for a 3-hour dedicated stream. $5,000 ÷ 15,000 viewer-hours is $0.33 CPVH, under Gamesight's $0.60 floor. For a 1-hour integration, $5,000 is $1.00 CPVH, inside the working band.

Is 5,000 CCV the top of Sponsee's mid-tier range?
Yes. The range is roughly 100–5,000 CCV. 2,500 sits near the top of that range; 5,000 is the top row on the rates table.

Should I use a different CPVH at 5,000 than at 500?
No. The 5,000-CCV row uses the same $0.60–$1.50 working band as 500 CCV. What changes is viewer-hours, not the unit price.

Does Sponsee find 5,000-CCV sponsors?
No. The 5,000-CCV row is a rate page. Sponsee does not source sponsors, take a cut, or hold the money. It prices the deal you already have against the CPVH band and tracks the terms you signed. Payment always goes from the brand to you.
