$5.00 per accepted clip.
Nothing for the rest.
One published rate for every buyer at every volume. You commit the full amount before anyone films, and it is drawn down only by clips that pass the published acceptance criteria.
What a clip costs, and where the money goes
Footage that does not exist yet — a named task, filmed in real homes, to your spec.
- You pay, per accepted clip
- $5.00
- Flat, published, identical at 10 clips and 10,000. Committed up front and drawn down one accepted clip at a time.
- The household earns, per accepted clip
- $1.00
- Paid to the family that filmed it — into a parent's account for a kid capture — as soon as the clip is accepted.
- A rejected clip costs
- $0
- Every clip is scored the moment it lands against criteria published before you spend anything. Your bar is 70% or higher, and a clip below it is never delivered.
- Clips nobody captures
- Refunded
- When the set closes — filled, closed by you, or past its deadline — the unspent remainder goes back to the card that funded it.
Frequently asked
- Are there any hidden fees?
- No. There is no subscription, no seat fee and no minimum contract. You pay a flat $5.00 per accepted clip and nothing else.
- When is the household paid?
- $1.00 of every accepted clip is paid to the household that filmed it as soon as the clip is accepted, not when the set closes. For a clip filmed by a child it goes to the parent, never to the child.
- Can I set my own price per clip?
- No, and that is deliberate. $5.00 is fixed platform-wide so households never have to compare offers and buyers never bid each other up. What you choose is the volume, the number of distinct homes, and the quality bar. Volume changes the size of the commitment, not the rate.
- Do I get the clips exclusively?
- Node Data delivers your request's clips only to you and never sells or licenses them to anyone else. The households who filmed them keep ownership of their own recordings; if you need them bound to exclusivity too, that is a separate negotiation — ask before you fund, not after. The full text is in the buyer terms.
- Can I pay by invoice?
- Yes. Invoice, purchase order, or annual prepay by wire are available on request instead of card checkout.
