Commercial Cost: Airtime Plus Production
A commercial's cost has two parts: the airtime you buy and making the video. Airtime runs from a $1 daily minimum on Etsy Ads to an average $8 million for a 30-second Super Bowl LX spot (AP, February 2026); a 15-second video ad on Reviral costs 278 credits (~$3.47).

The two halves of a commercial's cost
| Where it runs | What the airtime or placement costs |
|---|---|
| Super Bowl LX broadcast, 30 seconds | Average $8 million; a handful of spots above $10 million |
| Etsy Ads, inside Etsy search | From a $1 daily budget, charged per click |

What production covers
Production is everything needed to make the video: script, cast, crew, location, filming, editing and music rights. There is no single published price, because a shoot's quote depends on how many of those you need and for how many days.
Producing the video on Reviral
Reviral replaces the shoot with product photos: the UGC studio writes a free storyboard and spoken lines, then renders a 15-second commercial with a generated creator for 278 credits (~$3.47) at 720p. A cinematic TV Spot format ends on your tagline.
New accounts get 100 free credits with no card, and every studio shows the charge before it renders.
