Why merchants choose Swayzo

Tolstoy charges by impressions, not views — $10/1,000 impressions on their cheapest paid plan. Every page load counts, even if nobody watches a video.

Merchants are leaving Tolstoy over unpredictable costs — overage bills can exceed the base plan price within days of a traffic spike

No ambassador or creator management at any tier

Swayzo: unlimited views, no surprises, plus built-in creator tools
