Reach.cat: how it works, what it pays, and who it suits

Reach.cat at a glance

Posted rates

$1–$6 per 1,000 views

From Reach.cat's own blog, which lists $1 to $6 per 1,000 views by niche and says the ranges reflect its campaign data. Live campaign rates are visible only after sign-up, so we could not check them. Reach.cat's brand page says most brands see CPMs of $5 to $18, and Reach.cat does not explain the gap between the two ranges.

How Reach.cat works

1. Create a creator account on reach.cat.
2. Add your TikTok, Instagram, X or YouTube account and put the verification code in your bio (or the YouTube About section).
3. Browse campaigns. Each one shows its CPM and can set minimum followers, minimum views to earn, and a maximum payout per link or per creator.
4. Make a clip from the brand's footage and submit it. The brand approves or rejects every submission.
5. Publish the approved clip. Reach.cat tracks its views and pays each 1,000 views at the campaign CPM from the campaign budget.
6. Earnings clear after a 3-day fraud-review hold. Then request a payout; approved payouts usually take 3 to 5 business days.

What Reach.cat pays

Brands set the CPM, which is the amount you earn per 1,000 valid views. Reach.cat's blog publishes this niche table (published April 2026). It is Reach.cat's own summary, not a list of live campaigns.

Three campaign settings change what you actually earn. Minimum views to earn: a link earns nothing until it reaches the threshold; after that, all of its views are paid. Maximum payout per link and per creator: views above the cap earn nothing. Budget: views are paid from the campaign's total budget, so a campaign can run out.

Worked example (assumptions labeled). Assume a $3 CPM campaign with a 5,000-view minimum and a $150 cap per link. You post four approved clips with 40,000, 12,000, 60,000 and 3,000 views. The 3,000-view clip is under the minimum and earns $0. The others earn $120, $36 and $180, but the last is capped at $150. Your total is $306. Reach.cat's roughly 10% commission is on CPM payouts; its terms do not say whether the rate you see is before or after it, so confirm on the campaign page. Test other scenarios in the clipping calculator.

Treat the $1 to $6 range with care. It is far above ClipFlip's published $0.025 to $0.20 per 1,000 views (ClipFlip) and overlaps only the top of Clipping.net's $0.30 to $3.00 range. We could not see live Reach.cat campaigns without an account.

Getting paid: holds, KYC and methods

• 3-day clearing period. Earnings are held for 3 days while Reach.cat's team reviews view activity for fraud. After that, you can request a payout at any time.
• Processing. The creator terms say approved payouts are typically processed within 3 to 5 business days. The creator FAQ says payouts are processed weekly once earnings reach the minimum threshold.
• Methods. The creator FAQ says payouts go by USDT, with bank transfer "very soon". The dashboard offers a payment partner (Payouts.com), an IBAN bank transfer, or USDT to a wallet on Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) or Solana. USDT sent to a wrong address or network is not replaced.
• KYC above $500. Once your cumulative payout requests exceed $500, you must verify your identity with the partner iDenfy, which may require a government ID. Accounts flagged by fraud systems can be asked for KYC before joining public campaigns.
• Taxes. You are responsible for your own taxes. Reach.cat does not issue tax documents unless the law requires it.

Watch the KYC contradiction. Several Reach.cat blog posts describe the platform as having "no KYC requirements". The Terms & Conditions and Creator Terms (both dated 13 September 2026) require KYC past $500 in payout requests. The terms govern. If you cannot or will not verify your identity, plan to stop before $500.

Rules that can cost you earnings

• Posts must stay up for 60 days after the campaign. For posts submitted on or after 13 September 2026, each post must stay public at the submitted URL during the campaign and for at least 60 days after it ends. If you delete, archive, restrict or re-link it, Reach.cat can cancel unpaid earnings and reverse amounts already paid, even from future payouts.
• New accounts wait. A Reach.cat account created less than 30 days ago cannot join a public campaign during the first 7 days after that campaign launches. Invite-only campaigns are exempt.
• One account per person. Multiple accounts lead to termination, a permanent ban and loss of pending earnings.
• No paid boosting. You may not boost, sponsor, whitelist or dark-post your clip with paid ads unless Reach.cat authorizes it in writing.
• Fraud. Suspected botting, artificial traffic or metric manipulation leads to termination and loss of all funds, and Reach.cat's internal assessment is final.
• Rights. Brand content and your edits of it belong to the brand. You grant Reach.cat a perpetual license to your submitted content and the right to use your username, image and voice in marketing without extra pay.
• Disputes. UAE law governs the platform terms, with arbitration or courts in Dubai. The creator terms include a waiver of class and collective actions.

Is Reach.cat legit? The evidence

Reach.cat publishes detailed terms that name its operator, REACH MARKETING NETWORK - FZCO, and its payment merchant of record for brand purchases, Inflowpay SAS in Paris. It has an Android app. We found no coverage in major press as of September 2026.

On Trustpilot, Reach.cat has a 3.1 TrustScore from 16 reviews, split between 5-star (50%) and 1-star (44%). A US reviewer (August 2026) reports no payment after several payout requests. A reviewer from Bulgaria (December 2025) reports a sudden account block with an $86 balance; Reach.cat replied that it acted on its fraud detection. Another reviewer reports being blocked from joining campaigns. Several 5-star reviewers from Vietnam, France and Nigeria report being paid for their views.

Pattern to note: complaints center on blocked accounts and withheld balances, which the terms allow on fraud grounds. Keep your view evidence, avoid anything that looks like artificial traffic, and withdraw often. Compare it with Clipster's live campaigns before you commit.

Pros and cons

Best for

Clippers who want brand-approved campaigns across niches like finance and SaaS, and who are willing to verify their identity.
