Rates by account size

The same niche reference, split by follower tier: benchmark engagement falls as the account grows, so the rate does not rise in proportion.

Cuenta nano

1.000–10.000 seguidores

Las cuentas nano tienen la comunidad más pequeña y la conversación más cercana: cada respuesta se lee y el creador conoce a su audiencia por nombre.

Cuenta micro

10.000–50.000 seguidores

La cuenta micro es el punto dulce del mercado: suficiente alcance para una campaña y suficiente cercanía para que la recomendación se crea.

Cuenta media

50.000–250.000 seguidores

A partir de 50.000 seguidores la cuenta entra en las planificaciones de medios y compite con otros creadores por el mismo presupuesto.

Cuenta macro

250.000–1.000.000 seguidores

En el tramo macro el alcance es el argumento principal y el engagement medio cae, así que la tarifa se defiende con datos de campañas anteriores.

Cuenta mega

Más de 1.000.000 de seguidores

Las cuentas mega se negocian como medios: hay agencia, contrato, calendario y cláusulas de exclusividad de categoría.

Where the audience lives moves the CPM: an equally large account charges differently if its audience is in the US than if it is spread across Latin America. Missing the head-to-heads: the 15 platform battles with each niche's rate pitted network against network.

Methodology and data

Where these figures come from.

Reviewed 2026-11-07 · by Joan Mirabal, 7 years running creator campaigns

CPMs come from rate cards published by brands and agencies and from campaigns closed by creators between 2024 and 2026. Each combination uses the median of its sample, not the mean: one exceptional campaign should not move the reference for a whole niche.

The suggested rate applies the format's estimated reach, benchmark engagement and the usage-rights multipliers. The ranges are deliberately wide (±12% in the calculator): no table can know what a specific brand will pay.

When a combination's sample is under ten campaigns, it inherits the niche reference and is marked with the platform's engagement. We do not invent a figure to fill a URL. The 2026 CPM report

Frequently asked questions

How to read the table and what to do with the result before sending a proposal.

How do I use this rate table?
Find your platform and niche to see the reference CPM, average engagement and the suggested rate for an average account. Then open the combination page and adjust followers, engagement and usage rights with the calculator: the final result can move 40% to 60% away from the average.
Why is there a page per combination instead of one table?
Because CPM changes with the platform and the niche, and a single table forces you to average things that are not alike. Each combination has its own benchmark, its table by format and its own questions. Below each one there are more specific pages: by account size, by format and by audience market.
Is the data from real accounts?
They are public CPM ranges and creator campaign rates collected between 2024 and 2026, adjusted by platform and niche. They are not an offer or a guarantee: they are a defensible reference for opening a negotiation with data.
Does the table break down by country?
The reference CPM starts from audiences in high-value markets (US, Canada, UK and Australia). In the calculator you can change the region and the value per impression moves: a mixed global audience is worth less per impression than one concentrated in those markets.
