Imagine paying one monthly fee for a magazine club that lets you read as many issues as you want, instead of buying each single issue on its own. SVOD works the same way for movies.
SVOD stands for subscription-based video on demand, meaning you pay one regular fee for ongoing access to a whole library of movies and shows, rather than paying separately for each one.
Fun facts
- Most major streaming services work on an SVOD model, charging a flat monthly fee for unlimited access.
- SVOD earns a movie's owners money differently than ticket sales do, usually through a licensing fee paid by the streaming service instead of per-viewer payments.
- SVOD sits alongside AVOD and TVOD as one of the three main ways video on demand gets paid for.
