Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Pricing, payouts, and pitches — straight from the team. If you don't see your question below, the press form on /press reaches a person.
Advertisers
What does it actually cost?
Three fixed tiers — Starter $99, Growth $499, and Pro $1,999 — paid through Stripe Checkout from
/advertise/signup; each tier ships with a fixed impression budget so you can pick spend without negotiating.
How is ROI measured?
Every served ad logs an impression and click in the advertiser dashboard at
/advertise/dashboard, and the whole history exports to CSV so you can pipe spend into your own attribution.
Do viewers actually skip ads?
TenCast runs a single full-screen 10-second slot per rotation with no scrub bar and no skip; the only way out is closing the tab, which is why viewability is effectively 100%.
Broadcasters
How do I actually get on stage?
Sign up at
/app, complete the Stripe Identity check (auto-approved for most verifications), and you land in the live queue — your 10 seconds start as soon as the rotation reaches you.
Do I get paid for going on air?
Payouts are monthly via Stripe to verified accounts; the rate card and eligibility threshold are listed on
/broadcasters so there are no surprises when you cash out.
Can I submit a pre-recorded clip instead of going live?
Yes — approved demo clips from the queue-empty rotation are curated weekly and the criteria + submission steps are documented at
/changelog so the bar is visible.
Press / Partnerships
Where do I send a story pitch or interview request?
Drop your name, outlet, and angle into the form on
/press; pitches are reviewed weekly and you'll get a reply from a human, not an auto-responder.
Is there a partnership / sponsorship intake for non-advertising deals?
Same form on
/press accepts product, integration, and event proposals alongside editorial pitches, so partners don't need a separate channel.
