CPM and engagement, head to head
Open the full comparisonThe six networks get the same finance audience and pay for it very differently. Switch niches to watch the list reorder: the highest CPM is not always on the network with the most followers, and engagement does not follow the same order as price.

What these figures explain
Finance is the site's most expensive niche: a 1.65 multiplier, a $23 CPM on Instagram, $36 on YouTube and $46 on LinkedIn. The average account is the smallest — 29,400 followers on Instagram — because the audience demands transparency and data, and rates per delivery sit in the upper range: $620 on Instagram with the average profile.
What is bought here is trust, and it is paid for: fintech, insurance and financial software do not need mass reach, they need the recommendation to come from someone who explains fees and risks. That is why the content that converts is the breakdown of a real decision with scenarios, not an app announcement.
The mandatory warning: any investment piece must include a risk disclaimer and must not promise returns. If the brand does not supply it, write it yourself before publishing; in this niche a campaign pulled for an excessive promise costs more than the entire rate.
