Notes

viral.app publishes live-job medians on its rates page (figures as of November 2026): $15 per video, $1 CPM, $500 monthly base, $250 top view bonus; these are medians across brands posting jobs on viral.app, not market benchmarks. The Canvas UGC job board launched in August 2026 and a native contract builder was still 'coming' on 6 Nov 2026. No commission, product seeding or ads feature is published; the platform tracks views, not sales.
