What does Clouted cost?

Clouted does not publish pricing — you request a quote. The vendor's own site discloses no CPM, fee, or minimum spend; the only call to action is "Get Clouted" or "Get In Touch." Third-party reviews of the intake process report a working range of $5,000-10,000, but that figure appears nowhere on clouted.com itself.

Clouted publishes nothing to annualise, so nobody outside a sales call can tell you the twelve-month figure. For reference, twelve months of Sway9 Starter is $264, and you can see that number without speaking to anyone.
