How do you work out the cost per 1,000 views?
Divide the quote by the channel's average views per video over its last 150 days, then multiply by 1,000.
Example: $1,000 divided by 20,000 average plays, times 1,000, is $50.
We did this for 60 second reads quoted in dollars, 21 channels with a logged average.
What do tech creators ask per 1,000 views?
Only 3 of the 21 asked between $30 and $60, the band one trade guide gives for tech sponsorships.
| Asked per 1,000 views | Quotes |
|---|---|
| Under $30 | 7 |
| $30 to $59 | 3 |
| $60 and up | 11 |
LaunchPoint's tech guide, updated March 2026, puts dedicated sponsorships at $30 to $60 per thousand.

That guide prices dedicated reads, and our quotes are 60 second reads.
Does a bigger audience lower the price per view?
Yes. Of the 12 accounts averaging 20,000 or more plays, 7 asked under $50 per thousand.
Of the 9 accounts averaging under 20,000 plays, 3 did.
3 quotes work out above $1,000 per thousand, all on accounts averaging under 2,000 plays.
Which views number should a brand divide by?
Use the average over the last 150 days, then check it against the median.
Our logged average for 1 channel was 0 views, so we left it out.
Median recent plays instead give $26 to $353 per thousand for the middle half.
What should a tech brand do with this?
- Ask the creator for average views on the last 10 videos, then divide.
- Treat a quote under $30 per thousand as low pricing, and one above $60 as a reason to ask what the read includes.
- Read what tech YouTubers charge for a sponsored video for the price in dollars.
- See the views side on views of a sponsored tech video.
