Straight answers about CTV advertising.

Roku says you can start advertising on its platform for as little as $500 through Roku Ads Manager, its self-serve tool (Roku, February 2026). Roku does not publish a CPM. Pricing is dynamic, and you can cap it with a maximum bid. That $500 buys media on Roku alone, and you still need a finished, TV-ready ad to run in it.

Hulu's self-serve tool, Disney Campaign Manager, starts at $500 per campaign, a minimum Disney publishes itself. Disney does not publish CPMs; industry sources estimate $15 to $40. Direct, agency-negotiated Disney buys are commonly cited well into five figures. Apart from the $500 minimum, every figure here is an industry estimate, not a Disney price.

There are two ways to advertise on Peacock through NBCUniversal: its sales team, for direct buys and premium formats like Arrival Ads and Spotlight, and Peacock Ad Manager, a self-serve tool NBCUniversal launched with tvScientific in 2022 for performance, local and small advertisers. NBCUniversal's Peacock advertising pages don't list prices. Through Screenbridge Reach, Peacock is arranged per campaign through a direct deal rather than being part of the standard buy.

Plans start at $10,000 per month.
