The questions that separate a clipping agency from Overlap, the same on all three agency pages: whose accounts the clips live on, who keeps what they earn, and what it takes to start. A cell is what the agency’s own site says on the date it was checked. “Unknown” means no page we opened answers it.

Overlap vs Clipping Culture, answered
Yes, for a brand that wants short-form reach it pays for by the view. Both run the campaign for you and both bill on views rather than on hours or clips. The difference is where the clips live. Clipping Culture’s clippers post from their own accounts. Overlap posts to accounts you own, so the followers and the posts stay with you after the campaign ends.
With Clipping Culture, the clippers’ own accounts: independent creators in its network cut your footage and publish it to their own profiles on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. With Overlap, your accounts: you connect your channels, and Overlap’s team publishes to them on up to nine platforms.
On an Overlap campaign you do. The accounts, the followers, the posts and the performance data are yours, posts stay up after the campaign ends, and eligible platform monetization stays with the account owner. On a Clipping Culture campaign the posts sit on the clippers’ profiles, so any followers they win are the clippers’. Its FAQ says monetization depends on campaign terms and platform policy.
Clipping Culture prices on the verified views you target, starting at $15,000, with expected average CPMs from under $1.25 at $15,000 to under $0.85 at $250,000 and above. Overlap’s managed campaigns are billed on delivered views at a $0.50 to $2.50 CPM, up to a monthly ceiling you set, with no minimum spend, no production fees and no retainer.
It depends on the budget and on what the campaign is for. Clipping Culture’s managed campaigns start at $15,000 and spread one source across many independent accounts at once. Overlap has no minimum: you set the monthly ceiling, and the views build your own channel from the first post.
