What cozy farm games creators charge
I do not have a rate card for cozy farm games and I will not invent one. What I have is a filter and a deal shape.
The filter: roughly 50k average views. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink. Steam recappers quote PC-launch rates.
The deal shape: pay $X for N posts with a Minimum View Guarantee of Y. An example that is easy to hold: $2000 / 4 posts / 1M views. Balance those so you hit your CPM. Creator compensation is extra on every JumpTrend plan. Scout is $1,500. Outreach is $2,500. Dealmaker is $5,000. Those numbers are for matching, contacting, and paper. Talent is a separate invoice you approve.
Why email is where the money-sink happens
I prefer email. The contact is usually in a small cozy-mobile bio. Don’t start the deal over email. Ask for the phone number. If they won’t, move on. Talking deal over email is how you get the first number. On a call I can explain a floor of views. Over email you just get “$700 a post.”
Fake-cozy rants already have the audience; a first day they can farm after work is the demo.
What not to pay for
A cinematic farm with no phone UI. Do not ask them to quote a CPI. Ask them to farm a first day without an ad on harvest. Skip the 500k cozy-game recapper whose videos are Steam decks only.
The tag is Steam-deck recappers.
What I actually measure
Unique App Store codes, not a Steam wish-list. App Store installs with a unique custom code. No download guarantee. No demo.
If they think the offer is too low, keep the same CPM and just up the numbers. Increasing your CPM should almost never be an option if it makes the product unprofitable. Move on. If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from.
