In their own words
Lucid
Lucid creates podcast audio ads, matches them to eligible shows, and manages campaign delivery and reporting on the web. Its production includes a script, voice, and finished audio; advertisers approve the 30-second ad before it runs. Lucid ranks podcasts by audience, topic, and commercial fit. The dashboard reports validated ad listens, show-note clicks, click-through rate, delivery progress, and podcast placements. Listen counts can include repeat listeners, so they do not measure unique people, leads, or sales. Lucid aims to launch within 48 hours after prompt approval, provided suitable podcast inventory is available. Podcasters can promote shows through matched podcasts with Always On and no minimum download requirement. Monetization applications require at least 1,000 monthly downloads on a supported host. Plans include a free monetization network at free, a daily-budget option at $5 a month, and monthly ad-listen plans from $97 a month. The monthly plans include audio production, placements, and reporting.
