SVOD

Definition

Subscription Video on Demand. A streaming model where viewers pay a monthly or annual subscription for access to a library of content. Netflix, Disney+, and Max are examples. Filmmakers typically receive a flat licensing fee rather than per-view revenue.

Example

A documentary licensed to Netflix for 24 months might receive a flat fee of $25,000 to $100,000 depending on the film's perceived value and audience size.
