On Pay as You Grow we act as merchant of record: we bill your subscribers, keep $0.99 per active subscriber per month, and pass the rest to you. An inactive or cancelled subscriber costs you nothing.

Sales & Marketing, Monetization

What are the main OTT revenue models?

OTT video streaming platforms primarily use four models based on video on demand: subscription (SVOD), advertising (AVOD), transactional (TVOD), and a hybrid model that combines two of them.

Sales & Marketing, Monetization

What is SVOD and how does it work?

SVOD charges viewers a recurring fee, billed yearly, monthly, weekly, or even daily, for unlimited access to the platform's content while the subscription lasts. It is the most popular model among OTT providers and was popularized by Netflix.

Sales & Marketing, Monetization

What is AVOD?

AVOD stands for Advertising Video on Demand — a model where viewers watch content for free while the platform earns revenue from ads shown before, during, or after playback. Users choose what to watch and when from an on-demand library.

Sales & Marketing, Monetization, General

What is TVOD and when should I use it?

Transactional Video On Demand lets viewers pay once to access specific content for a limited time or permanently. It suits special events, exclusive releases, and premium tutorials that offer value beyond regular streams.

Sales & Marketing, Monetization

What is a hybrid OTT monetization model?

A hybrid model combines any two OTT revenue models, for example a free ad-supported library alongside premium or original content unlocked by subscription or pay-per-view. YouTube is a well-known example of the hybrid approach.
