Transparent pricing
Broadcast-quality production at a fraction of traditional cost. Every tier includes the full 12-phase pipeline.
Production cost is fixed. Revenue isn't.
When you produce a title, you're not buying a service — you're creating a catalog asset. That asset earns across every platform from day one, and it keeps earning for years with no additional cost.
The math: a quality library title on Hoopla typically generates 50–200 checkouts per month at $1.50–3.00 per checkout. At that rate, break-even on a standard production cost happens within 60–90 days. After that, every checkout and every stream is return on a fixed, one-time spend.
Add a Hindi and Spanish version — roughly 25% more production cost — and you're running three simultaneous revenue streams from a single creative investment. That's what catalog economics look like when production costs are measured in tens of dollars, not thousands.
