Pay only for exposure that rendered.
No upfront impression buy and no estimate you take on faith. On Publsh you pick the creator, approve the screen, and you pay for the exposure that actually rendered on the stream, metered second by second, with the creator's rate as the only line on top.
Metered billing · you are charged for delivered exposure onlyA budget you commit, or exposure you actually got.
The usual model asks you to buy impressions up front and trust the total. Publsh is built around the opposite: the exposure that rendered on the stream is the thing you pay for.
- You commit a budget up front against an impression estimate.
- You pay whether or not anyone was really looking.
- A dropped stream or an off-screen slot still counts against you.
- The bill is a total you take on faith, with no line items.
- You pay against exposure the system recorded as rendered.
- If the card was not on screen, it does not bill.
- A dropped stream pauses serving, so that time is not charged.
- A flight closes with a log you can read line by line.
Metered on what rendered.
The pricing model rests on one rule: billing meters the time your creative was actually rendering on the stream, and it stops when nothing is on screen. A dropped stream or an off-screen placement does not bill. Delivery is read on the serving side, not claimed by the creator or inferred from a screenshot.
It is the same measured-exposure unit the whole platform runs on. If you want the full picture of what measured exposure means, read the measured-exposure pillar.
Example serving log, not a real campaign. It shows how billing works, not results.
The creator's rate, and the exposure that rendered.
The creator's rate
You book against a rate the creator set, on a placement you both approved. No opaque marketplace markup sitting on top of it.
Metered on rendered exposure
Billing meters the time your creative was actually on the stream. When nothing is on screen, the meter stops, so you are not paying for a paused or dropped stream.
No upfront impression buy
There is no bulk impression commitment to burn down. You are matched to a creator, approve the screen, and pay for the exposure a flight actually delivers.
The pricing questions brands actually ask.
Is there an upfront commitment?
No bulk impression buy to burn down. You are matched to a creator, approve the placement, and pay for the exposure a flight delivers.
What happens if the stream drops mid-flight?
Serving pauses when nothing is on screen, so that time is not billed. You are charged for rendered exposure, not for a paused or dropped stream.
What do I get when a flight ends?
A serving log of what ran, when, and for how long, from Publsh's own serving side. The bill is the creator's rate times that on-screen time.
Is there a markup on the creator's rate?
You book against the rate the creator set. There is no opaque marketplace markup layered on top of it.
The pricing is built around exposure that rendered, not a number you take on faith.
