Pricing
You pay for outcomes. We agree the price first.
There is no rate card, because the price of an outcome depends on the model, market, vertical and volume. Payouts are agreed in writing before any traffic runs.

How costs are calculated
Simple arithmetic, agreed in advance.
- CPIPer install
cost = payout × attributed installsInstalls attributed by your MMP and opened at least once.
- CPAPer action
cost = payout × valid actionsOnly the defined action counts — for example a verified registration or first deposit.
- CPLPer lead
cost = payout × valid leadsLeads that meet the written definition; duplicates and invalid entries are excluded.
- CPSPer sale
cost = fee or % × validated ordersOrders that pass the validation period, net of cancellations under the agreed rules.
- CPC · CPMPer click · per thousand
cost = rate × clicks or impressions ÷ 1000Used where reach or traffic tests are the goal, alongside performance objectives.
What can you afford to pay?
Put in your own numbers and this works out the payout your margin supports — and what a partner would earn per click at it.

Arithmetic on the figures you entered. Nothing here is a market rate, a quote, or a UniconAds result — whether a payout attracts traffic depends on your country, vertical and competition. Shown in US dollars. The arithmetic is the same in any currency.
How a quote works.
- Brief: Product, markets, target outcome and expected volume.
- Proposal: Recommended model, payout range and traffic mix.
- Terms: Payout, caps, rules and billing agreed in writing.
- Test: A learning budget to validate the price in practice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum budget?
Budgets are discussed per campaign. The main constraint is enough volume for sources to produce meaningful data during the learning phase.
What affects the payout?
Market, platform, vertical, how deep the conversion event is, and how well your funnel converts. Better conversion rates make lower payouts more attractive to partners.
Can the payout change later?
Yes, by agreement. Changes are best made with evidence from a stable test period, and applied going forward.
How does billing work?
Billing is based on validated conversions under the terms of your agreement. Invoicing schedule and payment terms are set out in the insertion order.
