a clipping campaign and payout marketplace
PROJECT OVERVIEW
What this app does
This platform enables clients of a clipping agency to create and fund campaigns with payout terms fixed at launch. Hundreds of clippers can join each campaign, submit external video links, and receive payouts calculated from verified view counts, while agency staff manage verification and settlement.
As an anonymous visitor, I can browse launched campaigns so that I can understand available clipping opportunities
As a clipper, I can connect a payout account so that I can receive campaign earnings
As an operations administrator, I can monitor client funding and clipper payout records
As a client, I can create and edit a campaign with its brief, budget, dates, and view-based payout rate
As a client, I can fund a campaign so that it launches after payment is confirmed
As a clipper, I can review and join a launched campaign
As a clipper, I can submit external video links for a campaign I joined
As a client, I can review campaign participants, submitted links, verified views, and funding status
As an operations administrator, I can review submitted links and record verified view counts
As an operations administrator, I can settle a campaign and send clipper payouts based on verified views and the launch rate
As a clipper, I can review my campaign activity and payout history

COST BREAKDOWN
How your requirements become a plan and a price
Momen doesn't give a vague quote: it first sizes the project's actual demand for each capability and resource, then costs each item out. The numbers in the 'Project demand' column below — their scale assumptions and derivations — are detailed in Scale & sizing

WHY MOMEN
Your options for this project
In the table below, the 'monthly infrastructure' for the self-built / AI routes is derived from the AWS list prices shown below, sized against this project's actual usage. Figures cover infrastructure and operations only — AI usage is billed separately and excluded here, so they don't match the $99/mo all-in above.

Servers, databases, traffic and storage are inherent infrastructure costs for this project — you pay them whether you outsource, use Cursor or Lovable, or build it yourself (self-built runs ≈ $330.34/mo at AWS list prices, often more), on top of the dev and ops staff you'd need to hire. Momen bundles all of it into $0/mo all-in and removes the need for an ops team.
The frontend can be generated with AI tools (Cursor, Lovable, etc.); the hard part is the backend — auth, database, scaling, data security and ops. Momen delivers a production-grade backend as a BaaS: keep the vibe-coding speed on the frontend, while the backend runs on proven infrastructure — reliable, with no self-hosting or ops.
SCALE & SIZING
What scale this estimate assumes, and how the numbers are derived
Cost depends heavily on usage volume. First see the key assumptions and business scenarios this estimate uses, then the full calculation derived from each scenario for every resource — all adjustable to your real situation
We assume 10,000 registered accounts because this is a two-sided marketplace without an explicit user or transaction volume, and the standard mature marketplace anchor is appropriate. Most accounts are clippers, with a smaller client base and a limited internal operations team; if actual campaign throughput or launch targets differ, this scale can be adjusted accordingly.
We assume 225 effective accumulation days because this is a new two-sided software marketplace expected to grow progressively rather than launch with a full pre-existing dataset. This matches the standard linear-growth pattern; if the agency imports historical campaigns, submissions, and payments at launch, the value can be adjusted accordingly.
Daily Clipper Earnings Management
Daily Clipper Participation
30
times/month
0.47 req/s
Peak load
We assume earnings review and payout onboarding occur across a four-hour daily period because clippers check balances and account status at convenient times. The scenario occurs 30 times per month and is not synchronized by an external signal. Earnings review and account connection are separate purposes because many users only read records, while a much smaller group starts regulated onboarding. If onboarding is promoted through a deadline, a narrower temporary peak can be added accordingly.
Main impact: Peak Concurrency
