Display ad pricing
Mantis advertisers get access to a real-time bidding platform and the ability to target premium audiences with no intermediary fees for as low as $2CPM.
Note: When creating a Mantis campaign, you'll be prompted by the system to set both a maximum vCPM bid as well as a maximum CPC bid.
The difference between CPM, vCPM, and CPC
Cost per 1,000 viewable impressions (vCPM) - is a pricing method used to denote the price of 1,000 viewable impressions tracked. An ad is counted as "viewable" when 50 percent of the ad shows on screen for one second or longer for display ads and two seconds or longer for video ads. CPM pricing does not come with the benefits of tracking viewability, thus vCPM pricing is considered to be a much safer investment for advertisers than CPM pricing.
Cost per click (CPC) - is a pricing method in which advertisers pay a fixed rate every time a visitor clicks on an advertisement.
