2027 Spotgate Price List
Spotgate service is owned by the union of TV advertising in Finland (Suomen Kaupallisten Televisioiden Liitto ry, Screenforce Finland). It can be used to deliver TV commercials to channels that have an effective agreement to use Spotgate.
Only transferring spots from Spotgate to broadcasters are chargeable. One charge per spot.
As per the user terms and conditions, the user companies of Spotgate will be invoiced on a monthly basis according to the operative price list. The company that is invoiced for transferring the spot is always the company that has created the spot in the service (the original owner).
The original owner can authorise another company as a secondary owner which can modify the spot, upload the spot file, or transfer the spot to the channels, but the original owner is still responsible for the transfer charge. Please note that when creating a copy or a replacement of a spot, the company that the user belongs to will at the same time become the original owner of the new spot. Transferring a replacement is also subject to charge.
