Pick the channels yourself

Available on every plan β€” limits differ

How many channels one poll can go to depends on the plan: Free 25, Lite 50, Plus 100, Elite and above 200.

Instead of letting Pulse match channels to your targeting, you can choose them one by one in the channel catalogue (Pulse β†’ Pick channels). The poll then goes to exactly the channels you picked, all at the same time. Automatic matching stays available: Let us match them for you on the catalogue page takes you back to it.

The catalogue is for Advertiser accounts. A Channel owner account does not see Pick channels, and opening its address goes to the Pulse home instead (Your dashboard by role).

What the catalogue shows​

Only channels whose owners opted in to Pulse and that our bot can post to right now. Your own channels and channels of accounts linked to yours are never listed, and neither are channels whose owner is in the Restricted or Frozen reliability band, is paused for a review, or has reached the number of polls they take this week.

Each card shows:

  • Fee per poll β€” set by the channel's size band; the channel earns it.
  • You pay β€” the fee plus the platform fee.
  • Audience, Onflow Verified score with its confidence (or "No score yet"), Reliability and the brand-safe tag where earned.
  • Audit this channel β€” for a channel with a delivery record, a link to buy the full Onflow Verified audit before you spend on it (included in your plan's audits, or at the audit price). Not shown for a new channel: there is nothing to audit yet.
  • Typical response β€” voters per view in the channel's recent polls. With too few completed polls it says Not enough data yet; we never guess.

Filters​

Search by name or @username, topic, language, country, size band (each with its fee), the lowest Onflow Verified score, the brand-safe tag, the reliability band and the typical response rate. Sort by best match, largest audience or lowest fee. Clear the filters puts every filter back. The line under the filters says how many channels match.

Plus plan Β· Advertiser β€” picking the channels for a poll in the catalogue 1 The size bands, each with its fee per poll. 2 The channel's fee per poll; You pay beside the audience adds the 15% platform fee. 3 Typical response: the median share of viewers who voted in the channel's recent polls, or Not enough data yet.

Picking and the quote​

Pick at least 10 channels and up to your plan's limit for one poll (Free 25, Lite 50, Plus 100, Elite and above 200). The minimum of 10 is the same for every brand poll, matched or picked: the report's network estimate and the voters' anonymity are built on it, and support cannot lower it. When you reach your plan's limit, the other cards' buttons read Plan limit reached (a picked card's reads Picked Β· remove), and Which plan adds more shows the plan with a higher limit.

The tray at the bottom counts your picks live and shows the most you would pay; Review the picks opens the quote:

  • Fees to the channels: the sum of each picked channel's fee per poll, always paid in cash from your wallet;
  • Platform fee (15%): 15% on top of those fees, the only part Onflow Credit can pay;
  • From Onflow Credit and From your wallet: how the total is split;
  • The most you pay: a cap. Whatever a channel does not accept comes back to you.

Plus plan Β· Advertiser β€” your picks, the live counter and the quote 1 The live counter: 11 of the plan's 100, and the most you would pay. 2 The most you pay, a cap: $126.00 in channel fees plus the 15% platform fee of $18.90. 3 Continue: write the poll. Nothing is charged until you confirm the poll.

Continue: write the poll takes your picks to the new-poll page. Write the question, get the quote and confirm: the same cap and the same refunds as any Pulse poll (Pricing and the cap). Each channel still accepts the offer or has a rule that accepts it automatically; whatever isn't accepted comes back to you.

If a channel stops qualifying between your pick and your confirmation (it left Pulse or filled its week), the quote shows it and is recalculated before anything is charged.
