Capabilities
Overlap and Clipping.net, row by row
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.net, answered
Yes, for a brand that wants a managed clipping campaign it pays for by the view. Both run the campaign for you and both bill on views. The difference is where the clips live. Clipping.net’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.net, the clippers’ own: each clipper links the TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or X accounts they post from, and the campaign pays them for the views. 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.net campaign the posts sit on the clippers’ profiles, so any followers they win are the clippers’.
Clipping.net bills per verified view at a custom rate and prints no rate card; the one CPM on its brand page is a $0.41 average in a sample dashboard, and enterprise pricing is custom. 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.
Yes. Overlap is also sold as software, so a team can build the clipping workflow and publish to its own accounts without Overlap’s team running it. Clipping.net scopes every brand campaign with its own team and describes no self-serve setup.
