100% Ad Revenue Stays Yours
5centsCDN charges only a technology fee — your ad earnings belong entirely to you.
Deliver targeted ads seamlessly into live streams and VOD with broadcast-grade SCTE-35 support, server-side ad insertion, and FAST platform-ready marker delivery — all without sharing your ad revenue.
Live stream ad monetization is about signaling precisely, delivering seamlessly, and turning every break into actual revenue. For OTT platforms and FAST channel operators, missed cues, mid-break buffering, or incompatible marker formats mean lost inventory and frustrated viewers. Most CDNs simply pass video — they don’t understand ad workflows.
5centsCDN is purpose-built for ad-supported streaming — preserving encoder-generated SCTE-35 markers, inserting them at the CDN level when needed, or stitching ads server-side via your VAST URL from Google Ad Manager, FreeWheel, or any major ad server. You keep 100% of your ad revenue — we charge only a technology service fee.
Whether you run a FAST channel, a broadcaster moving to OTT, a live sports or news stream, or a subscription-plus-ads hybrid — 5centsCDN gives you the flexibility to monetize the way your business demands.
