AdSurface

Advertising prices and measurement

AdSurface is an advertising service for the Mac menu bar. Advertisers pay for complete, eligible display minutes. People who choose to show ads receive a share of that revenue.

Market CPM unavailable. New exposures are waiting.

Set a maximum CPM from €2; the initial cap is €6. You pay the hourly market price, never more than that cap. A lower cap can stop new delivery. Existing exposures retain their agreed price.

Prices and revenue share

Minimum CPM per 1,000 valid 60-second exposures
€2.00
Participant share

Minimum advertising top-up
€5.00

At the €2 floor, 1,000 valid exposures cost €2 and generate €1.40 in base participant earnings; €0.60 remains before costs and referrals. These are example amounts: the market price changes hourly, based on recent availability and funded campaign budgets and caps.

What makes a minute valid?

A minute consists of 60 uninterrupted seconds reported by the app and accepted by placement, session and server checks. These checks do not prove attention or every pixel. Paused, interrupted, locked or uncertain states do not qualify. An available, approved campaign with sufficient advertising credit is required.

What the measurement does not prove

A valid minute is not evidence of human attention, a unique person, a purchase or a conversion. Clicks are optional and do not increase participant rewards. Campaign results depend on availability and actual delivery.
