Buy Medium Claps

You can buy Medium claps here with two things: the URL of one public story and a number between 500 and 2,000. A clap is Medium's like, one reader can give up to fifty, and the total sits directly under the headline - which is why a good story with nine claps reads as unread.

  • No password, ever
  • From 500 claps
  • Starts within 12 hours
  • One story per order
  • Deposits from $3
Medium Claps A counter card showing medium claps rising over time. MEDIUM CLAPS 1,500 delivered on the outside — no password

Choose how many claps you want

$10.50 per 1,000 claps, at any quantity inside the range.

  • 500units$5.25Five dollars and a quarter, and the smallest order the provider accepts. On a story that has been sitting at single digits, it is the difference between a piece nobody finished and one that people stopped to applaud.Buy 500
  • 1,000units$10.50A thousand claps reads as a story that travelled. Because one reader can clap fifty times, it does not imply a thousand readers - which is also how the people who know Medium read it.Buy 1,000
  • 1,500units$15.75The order for a piece you are linking from a newsletter or a profile, where the clap count is the first thing a new reader sees after the title.Buy 1,500
  • 2,000units$21.00The ceiling on this line. Use it on a story that already has real readers and responses; on a brand-new account it is the number that looks borrowed.Buy 2,000

The cards are shortcuts, not the menu. In the panel you type any number from 500 to 2,000 and the rate per 1,000 stays the same: 800 claps costs $8.40.

Minimum of 500 and maximum of 2,000 claps per order, on one public story.

Why claps are the number readers check

Medium shows two things under a headline before anyone reads a word: the reading time and the clap count. The reading time tells people what the story costs them; the claps tell them whether it was worth it to somebody else.

A story with a few claps is not a bad story. It is a story nobody has vouched for yet, and on a platform with this much writing that is enough for most readers to scroll past.

Which address to give

The URL of the story itself - medium.com/@you/your-story-abc123, or the same story inside a publication. Both forms work, because the clap counter belongs to the story, not to the place it is published.

Open the link in a private window before you order. If the story is members-only, keep it unlocked while the order runs if you can; it removes the one variable we cannot check from here.

What this will not do

Claps from these accounts are not paying-member reading time, so they do not earn Partner Program money and do not put the story in front of Medium's curators.

They will not produce highlights, responses or new followers. What they change is how the story reads to the next person who opens it - which is the thing a clap count was always for.

Who this is for

The writer with a good piece and no audience yet

You published something you are proud of and it is sitting at four claps. That number is doing more damage than the story deserves.

The founder or consultant using Medium as a portfolio

A story linked from a pitch deck or a LinkedIn post gets opened by people deciding whether to trust you. The clap count is part of that decision.

The publication editor

A new publication needs its first stories to look read. Clapping the launch pieces keeps the front page from looking empty.

Who this is not for

Anyone counting on claps for income. Partner Program earnings come from member engagement, and this product is not that.

How to buy Medium claps in 4 steps

  1. 1. Copy the story URL
    medium.com/@you/your-story-abc123, or the story's address inside a publication. Open it in a private window first.
  2. 2. Set the quantity
    Anything from 500 to 2,000, at $10.50 per 1,000 whatever you pick. The total is calculated in front of you before you confirm.
  3. 3. Fund the balance with PayPal or crypto
    Pay with PayPal, or top up in USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH or LTC - USDT on TRC20 is the cheapest to send. Deposits start at $3, so a first test order never needs a large balance.
  4. 4. Confirm and watch
    Delivery starts within 12 hours. Watch the clap count under the headline; the order is complete when it reaches the number you paid for.

Delivery time, speed and what to expect

The one line on this page

$10.50 per 1,000 claps, starting within 12 hours, from 500 to 2,000 per order, with no refill.

No pace is published

The provider gives a start window and no daily speed for this line, so neither do we. At this size most orders land the same day, but we would rather say not published than invent a number.

Why there is no refill

Claps are counted once. The provider does not top them up, and we are not going to print a guarantee they will not honour.

What you provide, and what is never asked

To place the order

Three things, and nothing else exists on the form.

  • The public URL of one Medium story
  • How many claps, from 500 up to 2,000
  • A balance funded with PayPal or crypto, from $3

Never asked, on any page here

There is no field for any of this.

  • Your Medium password
  • The email or phone number the account is registered to
  • Access to your publication or its editors

What the story has to be

Public and stable.

  • Loads in a private window
  • Not deleted or unpublished during the order
  • Not moved to a new URL mid-order

What this product does not include

Said plainly.

  • Highlights, responses or follows
  • Paying-member reading time
  • Any placement by Medium curators

Guarantee, and why this line has no refill

This line is counted once and not topped up. The provider does not offer a refill on it, and we are not going to print one they will not honour.

What is guaranteed is delivery: the full count arriving on the story you gave, or the undelivered part back on your balance, automatically.

Covered

  • The full count you paid for arriving on the story you gave
  • A start inside the 12-hour window
  • The undelivered part refunded to your balance if the order cannot be completed

Not covered

  • Any top-up after the order completes - there is no refill on this line
  • A story deleted, unpublished or moved after ordering

Frequently asked questions about buying Medium claps

How much do Medium claps cost?

$10.50 per 1,000, from 500 to 2,000 per order. The smallest order is $5.25.

Do you need my Medium password?

No. There is no field for it anywhere on this site. You give the public URL of one story.

Will claps earn me Partner Program money?

No. Earnings come from paying members' engagement, and these claps are not that. Do not buy them for income.

Does it work on stories inside a publication?

Yes. The claps belong to the story, so the publication URL of the story works the same way.

Can I split claps across several stories?

One order is one story. Several stories means several orders, each from 500.
