When Lumina Clippers is the better choice
If your budget is $5,000 or more, you want X in the mix, or you sell in SaaS, crypto or founder-led content, Lumina Clippers is built for that. Its network is far larger than ours, it states 18B+ views delivered, and it shows a 5.0 rating on Clutch.
When Amplify Media fits better
If your budget is under $5,000, or you want to prove clipping on one release before committing more, Amplify Media starts at $1,000. You get a UK team, a written brief, a person reviewing every clip before its views count, and a budget that is a hard cap.

Questions answered
What people ask before switching
Is there a Lumina Clippers alternative for budgets under $5,000?
Yes. Lumina Clippers publishes a campaign range of $5,000 to $200,000 and more. Amplify Media, a UK clipping agency, runs managed campaigns from $1,000 plus a flat 15% agency fee, with every clip reviewed by a person before its views count. Checked 4 October 2026.
Can I test clipping with $1,000?
Yes. A $1,000 creator budget plus our 15% fee is $1,150 in total. On our planning example of about $2.00 per 1,000 approved views, that is roughly 500K views if the full budget is used. That is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Are both agencies in London?
Amplify Media is run from London. Lumina Clippers' UK page describes a London desk working GMT hours. Its pricing and about pages do not give a head office address.
Do I pay for rejected clips?
No. A person reviews every clip before its views count, and rejected clips earn nothing from your budget. Your budget is a hard cap, so we never spend above it.
