AVOD (Advertising-Based Video on Demand)

AVOD, or Advertising-Based Video on Demand, is a streaming service model where users can watch movies and shows for free, funded by advertisements. Unlike subscription-based services, AVOD platforms generate revenue by displaying ads before, during, or after the content. This allows viewers to access a wide range of content without paying a fee, while advertisers reach audiences through targeted commercials. Examples include platforms like Tubi and Pluto TV. AVOD offers a balance of free access and advertising revenue, making it an attractive option for viewers who prefer not to subscribe but are willing to watch ads.
