What should you charge for a sponsored stream?

Enter your audience numbers and the deliverable. You get a floor, a fair midpoint, and the agency rate — priced in cost per viewer-hour (CPVH), the same benchmark the Sponsee product uses.

Floor is the walk-away number, midpoint is the fair ask, and agency high is what brand-agency buyers pay. Quote the midpoint unless the buyer is agency-run.

How CPVH works

1

Viewer-hours = CCV × hours

One concurrent viewer watching one sponsored hour is one viewer-hour — the unit sponsors actually buy.

2

A rate band, not a single price

Sponsee keeps a versioned CPVH (cost per viewer-hour) benchmark. Floor is the walk-away number, midpoint is the fair ask, agency is what brand-agency buyers pay.

3

Price = viewer-hours × rate

Multiply expected viewer-hours by a rate in the band, then adjust for the deliverable type. Aim for the midpoint unless the buyer is agency-run.

Rates come from Sponsee’s v1 CPVH benchmark ($0.60–$2.00 per viewer-hour), versioned and updated as real market data comes in.

The calculator is the free part.

Sponsee tracks the deal, the deliverables, and the invoice after you quote — and chases the payment if it runs late. Private beta opens in small batches.
