How streaming TV pricing works
Streaming TV (also called OTT or connected TV) is usually priced by cost per 1,000 views, meaning what you pay each time your ad is seen a thousand times. Traditional TV makes you guess at this with rate cards and agencies. We just bill a simple daily budget, and the views follow.
With Trusted TV, you pick a daily budget and Amazon's audiences place your ad in front of the right people on Prime Video and other premium streaming services. There is no separate charge for the video or for managing the campaign. Those are included.
What you actually spend
This isn't a guess. The typical local business runs about $25/day, and that's the whole cost, with the video and management included.
From our own platform: a typical four-week campaign earns roughly 9,100 views, reaches about 5,900 people, and works out to an all-in CPM that averages about $42.50 per 1,000 views. And because the ad is non-skippable and full-screen, your whole message reaches the viewer.
