counted views, from a $100 budget at $1.00 per 1,000. Only counted views are billed, and never past your cap.
100,000 counted views cost at most $100 here. 100,000 Meta impressions at $12 CPM cost about $1,200.
What-if math from your inputs, not a forecast. Meta bills impressions and we bill counted views, so the units differ. Meta CPMs run about $12 to $25 in 2026 (Stackmatix). Compare cost per sale in your own analytics.

How it works
Set a budget. Creators post. You pay per view.
Four steps. A person confirms your campaign before it goes live and checks every post before money moves.
- Step 01
Set your budget
Pick YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or all three, and a price per 1,000 views from $0.20, or a flat price per approved video. Budgets start at $10.
- Step 02
Creators post
Creators choose to join your campaign. They show your product in their own posts, disclosed as paid partnerships.
- Step 03
Pay per counted view
A person checks every post against your brief before money moves. Only new views count, and spend stops at your cap.
- Step 04
Get back what's left
Unspent budget is refundable on request, less payment processing costs. Views past your cap cost $0.

Why views past your target are free
How a view target works, what happens when a post keeps going, and the fine print.
Billing
When am I charged?
Once, upfront, when you fund the campaign budget. On a per-view campaign it is spent only as the platforms count views, at your price per 1,000, and spending stops at your view target. On a flat-price campaign, such as a product video bought per video, each approved post is billed its price, whatever its views. Anything not spent is refundable on request, less payment processing costs.
What does the price include?
The platform fee is inside the price per 1,000 views you set. There is no subscription, no retainer and no sales call.
What happens when my view target is reached?
Spending stops automatically. The posts stay up on the creators' accounts, and views they get after that cost you $0. Creators own their posts, so a post stays up unless its creator removes it.
What if no creator joins my campaign?
If no creator joins within 30 days of going live, you can ask for the full remaining budget back. Budget not spent on counted views is refundable on request, less payment processing costs.
Measurement
How is a view counted on each platform?
YouTube views come from YouTube's official API; a connected channel is matched to the video automatically, otherwise a person confirms ownership. Instagram and TikTok views come from public post data, plus a review by a person. Creators never type in numbers.
Do a post's old views count?
No. Only views a post gets after it joins your campaign count. A video with a million past views cannot bill you for them.
How do I measure sales and CPA?
Your dashboard shows views, spend, creators and a daily chart for each campaign. Put your own discount code or UTM link in the brief (TikTok and Instagram captions don't carry clickable links, so codes travel best), and measure sign-ups and sales in the analytics you already use, so you can put aimviews next to your other channels on CPA and ROAS. We report views and spend; we don't promise sales.
How does the cost compare with Meta ads?
They bill different units. Meta charges per 1,000 impressions, about $12 to $25 in 2026 (Stackmatix). aimviews charges your price per 1,000 views counted by the platform, from $0.20. Compare them on cost per click or cost per sale in your analytics. The full comparison.
Why price per view instead of per follower?
Nobody can predict which post the algorithm will push. TikTok says follower count is not a direct factor in For You recommendations (TikTok Newsroom). So you pay for the views a post does get, not for a follower count.
Brand safety
Who reviews the posts?
Creators publish first. A person checks each post against your brief before any money moves; posts that miss it are sent back or rejected and never billed. A person also confirms every campaign before it goes live. Every post is disclosed as a paid partnership.
What about fake views?
We use the platforms' own counts, only count new views, and a person reviews every post. Nobody can promise to catch every fake view, and we don't.
Getting started
How long does setup take?
About five minutes: pick YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or all three, a placement, your price (per 1,000 views, or a flat price per post), your budget and a short brief. A person confirms every campaign before it goes live.
Is $10 enough to learn anything?
$10 is the minimum. At $0.50 per 1,000 views that is a 20,000-view target. It tests the channel; it does not forecast results.
Can I run several campaigns, for example one per client?
Yes. Each campaign has its own budget cap, price, placement and brief, and your dashboard switches between them.
