Medium claps: price, quantity and what the number means
Medium allows a person to clap up to 50 times for a story or list. Therefore, 500 claps do not establish 500 different people. See Medium's explanation of claps.
Quantity examples
| Quantity | Listed charge |
|---|---|
| 500 | ₹355.98 |
| 1,000 | ₹711.96 |
| 2,000 | ₹1,423.92 |
The selected listing accepts 500–2,000. A 100-clap offer cannot be inferred by dividing the rate because that quantity is below its minimum. These calculations are dated catalog examples, not a checkout test.
Separate applause from readership
If the goal is readership, examine the reading and audience information available for your story, rather than treating the clap total as a unique-reader count. If the goal is newsletter sign-ups or visits to your website, measure that action separately.
A useful story still needs a clear promise, a readable opening and material that answers its audience's question. A purchased count does not establish expertise, editorial endorsement or a higher payment from a partner programme.
Link and delivery conditions
The description requests the Medium post link. Confirm that it points to the intended story, rather than your profile or publication homepage. It also advises against placing another order before the existing order completes.
The listing gives average delivery timings and explicitly says they may vary. Its “non drop” wording does not explain a replacement process or a clear refill period. Resolve those terms before treating retention as guaranteed.
The product is labelled Global, while the description refers to American names. Names are not reliable proof of a reader's location. If geography matters, ask what evidence is available rather than inferring it from a profile label.

Frequently asked questions
Will 1,000 claps guarantee more recommendations?
No ranking or distribution outcome is established by the catalog.
Are reads included?
The selected product is claps. It does not document a separate number of genuine reads.
Can I advertise claps as proof that hundreds of customers endorse me?
The number alone cannot support that statement, especially where responses were purchased.
About this guide
Selected-offer prices are calculated from SocialMint’s catalog when this page is generated and may be cached for up to an hour. Package charges and per-1,000 rates use different calculations. A price is not a market-wide minimum or a fulfilment guarantee; confirm the current offer and total before ordering.
SocialMint sells services discussed on this site. Supplier claims are not independent evidence of audience quality, delivery or platform approval. This guide distinguishes documented features from unresolved service conditions. See our editorial policy.
