Managed clipping campaign network
you need a tool that claims a 62,900+ clipper network live across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Lumina publishes its pricing. No subscription — Lumina quotes a custom CPM per campaign (illustrative range $2.50-4) against a stated $5,000 minimum, scaling to $200,000+; the fee covers strategy, clip production, distribution, brand-safety review and a live dashboard rather than being billed separately.
Lumina publishes nothing to annualise, so nobody outside a sales call can tell you the twelve-month figure. For reference, twelve months of Sway9 Starter is $264, and you can see that number without speaking to anyone.

Lumina is a fully managed clipping agency that repurposes a brand's long-form content across a 62,900+ creator network, billing on custom CPM against verified views. A quote is a negotiation, and the side with the rate card usually wins it. What makes buyers step back:
Where Lumina quotes you a price after a sales call, Sway9 charges on how many creator accounts you track and nothing else. It picks up every TikTok and Instagram post from creators you already work with, refreshes them automatically, and computes spend and effective CPM as the views arrive — the reconciliation Lumina leaves you to do by hand.
