About

One of the largest free ad-supported streaming platforms in the United States, owned by Fox Corporation and competing with Pluto TV, Peacock Free, and The Roku Channel

Tubi is a free, ad-supported streaming service owned by Fox Corporation that offers premium on-demand movies, TV episodes, and original programming to over 97 million monthly active users, operating as a fully ad-supported platform with no subscription or ad-free tier. For advertisers, Tubi provides non-skippable, high-attention ad environments featuring advanced frequency management and diverse formats including interactive billboards and pause ads, enabling brands to reach a young and multicultural audience at competitive CPM rates. Tubi's ad product suite — which includes Tubi Moments, Carousel ads, and shoppable second-screen experiences — is accessible to businesses of all sizes through a self-serve platform powered by Universal Ads, and the company has also built integrations with partners such as Amazon, Kochava, FreeWheel, and Moloco to drive measurable outcomes across the funnel. Tubi's proprietary Advanced Frequency Management solution helps marketers maximize reach while reducing over-exposure, and its measurement partnerships — including VideoAmp, LiveRamp, Comscore, The Trade Desk, and Nielsen — allow advertisers to plan, target, and assess the cross-channel impact of their campaigns. Tubi sells advertising on a CPM basis, with planning benchmarks commonly starting around $20 per thousand views, though actual costs vary by audience, format, and competitive demand.
