Kuku TV Affiliate Program
Program Overview
About Kuku TV
Kuku TV is an Indian short drama and web series streaming app from the creators of Kuku FM with over 190 million downloads and 1 million-plus reviews. The app offers 5,000-plus shows and 150,000-plus episodes of 2 to 3 minute dramas in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali. Users start with a 1-day trial for Rs 2 and can upgrade to premium for ad-free streaming, exclusive content, and offline downloads. It is available on Android and iOS across India.
Why Promote This Offer
The Kuku TV affiliate program pays a CPA of $0.6 for every new Indian user who starts a trial subscription. With 190 million-plus downloads, 5,000-plus shows across six Indian languages, and MS Dhoni as brand ambassador, Kuku TV gives publishers a volume-optimised subscription-trial CPA in India's fast-growing short drama streaming market.
- A $0.6 CPA on trial subscription is designed for volume - publishers with large Indian entertainment and OTT audiences can generate significant aggregate earnings from consistent daily trial conversion across Kuku TV's multi-language content library.
- Kuku TV's 190 million-plus downloads and 4.5-star rating with 1 million-plus reviews make it one of India's most downloaded entertainment apps, giving publishers the brand recognition advantage that drives higher trial click-to-conversion rates.
- The multi-language content library covering Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali gives publishers broad geographic reach across India beyond Hindi-only audiences, unlocking high-volume Southern India and regional content audiences.
- The Rs 2 one-day trial is one of the lowest subscription entry points of any Indian OTT platform - the near-zero cost barrier maximises trial conversion rates from users who are curious but not yet ready to commit to a full monthly subscription.

Promotional Tips
- Short drama content review articles covering Kuku TV's most popular Hindi series by genre - romance, thriller, and family drama - drive strong click-through from Indian users actively searching for new shows to watch in their language.
- Content comparing Kuku TV's Rs 2 trial against other Indian OTT platforms like MX Player, ALTBalaji, and Ullu consistently converts users who are evaluating streaming apps because the entry price is simply the lowest available.
- Regional language content is a strong underserved angle - Kuku TV's Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam libraries give publishers a distinct acquisition angle for South Indian audiences who are underserved by Hindi-dominant streaming platforms.
- For media buyers, in-app placements in Indian short video and entertainment apps including MX TakaTak, Josh, and Moj reach users already in an entertainment consumption mindset who are highly receptive to a trial offer for premium short drama content.
Payment Methods
Publishers are paid through multiple flexible methods including Crypto, Wise, PayPal, Wire Transfer, and more. Payouts are processed on a Net-30 cycle once your earnings clear the minimum payout threshold. Contact your account manager if you need to set up or change your preferred payment method.

FAQs
Kuku TV is a premium short drama and web series streaming app made by Kuku Technologies Private Limited, the same company behind Kuku FM - one of India's leading audio content platforms. The app offers 2 to 3 minute episodes across romance, thriller, action, family drama, and comedy genres in six Indian languages.
New users can start a 1-day trial for Rs 2 to access all premium content on Kuku TV. After the trial period, the subscription auto-renews at the standard monthly plan rate unless the user cancels before the trial ends. Kuku TV notifies users about the auto-renewal before it activates.
Kuku TV pays $0.6 per trial subscription (CPA), not per install. The commission fires when a user starts the Rs 2 one-day trial subscription - not just when they download or register. App installs without a subscription trial do not trigger the commission.
Kuku TV offers 5,000-plus shows and 150,000-plus episodes in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali. New content is added daily. Premium subscribers get access to the full library ad-free, with offline downloads and early access to new episodes.
