Pricing Plans 

There are two plans that meet the needs of the wide array of publishers that use KickApps:

1) KickApps Ad Inventory Network – No Fee

  • Access to the complete KickApps platform at no cost
  • No setup or startup fees
  • No storage or bandwidth limits
  • No charge for DNS masking (we don’t think it should cost you extra to ‘own’ your community)
  • You control the right skyscraper ad slot on community pages and can earn revenue immediately by delivering ads (many of our smaller affiliates use their own Google AdSense accounts for this)
  • KickApps inserts ads in select ad slots
  • Ability to switch to our ad inventory control option at any time

You should consider this plan if you want to get up and running with no initial investment (other than your own resources). Remember, you can start earning revenue immediately by placing your owns ads in the right skyscraper ad slot. 

 

2) KickApps Ad Inventory Buyout – Usage Based Fee 

  • Access to the complete KickApps platform (as with the Ad Inventory Network, no setup fees, bandwidth limitations)
  • Access to all ad inventory (including in stream video and banners) on the community site and can serve up their own ads (using Google AdSense, DoubleClick, LightningCast, etc.), or no ads at all
  • Fees are based on usage—rate per thousand community page views (CPM). Therefore, only pay for the page views that the community consumes
  • With access to multiple ad slots on each page (publishers can insert as many as six ads on a given page, including pre- or post-roll video), the effective CPM is our rate divided by the number of ads you choose to insert on a given page
  • No setup or startup fees
  • There are monthly minimum commitments for a defined number of page views (based on CPM rate). The CPM rate goes down with higher monthly minimums. Lower your CPM rate as your community grows
  • Please contact us to sign the ad inventory buyout agreement.

You should consider this plan if you want to control all the inventory on your site and add it to the overall sales model for your site.
