Clipping rates index, October 2026
In October 2026, clipping campaigns pay clippers about $0.30 to $2.50 per 1,000 verified views, and $1 is the usual average. A few streamers and startups pay $25 to $30 per 1,000, while TikTok and YouTube pay creators only cents per 1,000 views directly. This index collects the rates platforms publish, plus press reports and vendor surveys, each labelled by source. We update it every month.

What do clipping platforms pay per 1,000 views?
Rates are set campaign by campaign, so each platform shows a range. These are the figures the platforms publish themselves.
| Platform | Rate per 1,000 views | Fees and payout | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whop Content Rewards | Set by each brand; about $1 on average, $1.25 for YouTube clips, 30 cents on a music campaign | 10% creator fee on CPM payouts; 7-day earning period plus a 3-day hold | Whop (platform) |
| Vyro | $1 to $2.50 on the campaigns listed | Withdraw from $10, once a week | Vyro (platform) |
| Navo UGC | At least $0.75; current campaigns $1.25 | Every two weeks by PayPal or crypto | Navo UGC (platform) |
What do different niches pay?
No platform publishes rates by niche, so this table mixes platform figures, press reports and vendor surveys. The last column says which is which.
| Niche or deal | Rate per 1,000 views | Type of source |
|---|---|---|
| Music campaigns | 30 cents to about $1 | Platform (Whop) and vendor (OpusClip) |
| Gaming streams (Twitch, Kick, YouTube) | About $0.30 to $1.50 | Vendor survey (OpenClip) |
| Sports clips (MLB, via an agency) | About $1 | Press (NPR) |
| A streamer paying his own clippers | $30, as he told GQ | Press, second-hand (Business of TV) |
| An AI startup promoting its product | $25 | Press (NPR) |
| Podcasts | No sourced figure found | - |
How do clipping rates compare with platform payouts?
Clipping campaigns pay far more per view than the platforms' own creator funds. Whop's blog puts TikTok and YouTube Shorts payouts at about $0.01 to $0.06 per 1,000 views. That is why clippers chase campaigns rather than relying on creator funds.
What comes off the headline rate?
- Platform fees: Whop charges 10% on CPM campaign payouts.
- Unverified views: one vendor survey advises planning for 20% to 30% of views that never verify.
- Budgets: a campaign stops paying when its budget runs out.
- Tool costs: at $1 per 1,000 views, 4,490 views pay for a week of ClipClap Starter.
How is this index compiled?
Every figure was read on the source page on 2026-10-19 and is labelled as platform, press or vendor. Vendor figures come from companies that sell clipping tools or run marketplaces, so treat them as a snapshot rather than a study. We do not publish figures we could not trace to a page, and we update the index every month.

What else do people ask about clipping rates?
- What is a good rate for a clipping campaign?
- Around $1 per 1,000 views is the usual average. Anything from $1.50 up is above average, and below 50 cents is low unless the campaign has a large budget and easy rules.
- Why do rates differ so much?
- Each brand sets its own rate from its budget and goals. Music labels and big streamers have many clippers to choose from and pay less; startups that need attention fast sometimes pay far more.
- Do streamers pay clippers directly?
- Some do. One streamer told GQ his clippers earn $30 per 1,000 views, but such deals are rare and not public. Most clippers work through marketplaces such as Whop and Vyro.
- How often is this index updated?
- Every month. Each edition says when its figures were read, so you can tell how fresh they are.
