App launch clipping, measured in views and downloads

A managed clipper network shows your app in action across TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and you pay only for the views we can verify.

App launch clipping campaigns

What is app launch clipping?

An app launch clipping campaign puts your app in front of people through many creators' accounts at once, and you pay only for verified views. Clippers take your demo, screen recordings and launch video, cut them into short clips and post them on their own TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts accounts.

The Mischief app launched this way with Clip Mansion: 1,933 clips reached 22.4M verified views and drove 20,000 verified app downloads on a $6,000 budget. The same views would cost about $336,000 on paid social at a $15 CPM. Effective CPM is the campaign budget divided by verified views; the agency fee is separate.

What you get

What an app campaign includes

We run the whole launch campaign: the clippers, the brief, the review and the reporting.

A select group of clippers

Your campaign goes to clippers we have picked for your niche, not to an open crowd.

We handle creator outreach

Recruiting, briefing and chasing creators is our job. You never manage a single DM.

Every submission reviewed

Each clip is checked against your brief and budget before its views count. Off-brief clips are rejected.

Editors who lead with the product

The clips that work show the app doing its best thing in the first seconds, not a feature list.

Built to convert, not only to be seen

Bio links, hashtags and a call to action can be required on every clip, which matters when you measure installs rather than views.

Verified views and audience targeting

Through Try Shoot: account and ID checks, a bot-risk score on every clip, and viewer-country checks.

What we clip

What to give clippers

The best source material is the app doing something worth watching.

  • A demo of the best momentA screen recording of the one thing the app does that makes people look twice.
  • Your launch videoThe film you already made, cut down for a vertical feed.
  • Founder clipsThe founder explaining why it exists, in their own words.
  • Use casesFunny, surprising or useful things people do with the app.
  • Updates and new featuresA reason to run again after launch.
  • Clear rulesWhat the app does, what not to claim and where to send people.

Pricing

What campaigns cost

You pay per 1,000 verified views against a budget cap you set. The bigger the budget, the less each thousand views costs.

  2. Budget$5,000about 9M views

    ≈ $0.55per 1,000 views

  3. Budget$10,000about 20M views

    ≈ $0.50per 1,000 views

  4. Budget$25,000about 55M views
