What screen time apps creators charge

I do not have a rate card for screen time apps 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. Detox coaches quote retreat prices for a talking head in a field.

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 bio next to a digital-detox PDF; say you are buying a blocker demo. 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.”

The people who film the 180-pickups recap already have the audience; a blocker they cannot instantly undo is the next sentence.

What not to pay for

A cinematic ‘I quit my phone’ vlog with a new iPhone in the next frame. Do not ask them to throw their phone in a river. Ask them to fail at bypassing your lock on camera. Skip the digital-detox retreat seller whose own grid is six posts a day.

The catalog mixes parental-control vendors with detox coaches; neither is your 28-year-old who knows their own passcode.

What I actually measure

Unique App Store codes, not a screenshot of iOS Screen Time that is not your product. 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.
