        Brave operates different business models on multiple fronts. The browser and most features are free, with revenue generated through Brave Ads, revenue-sharing agreements with search engines, and subscription fees for premium services. The company offers several pricing models for advertisers, including flat-rate campaigns, cost per thousand impressions (CPM), and cost per click (CPC).

        The company faces competition from 1) established web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari; 2) privacy-focused alternatives such as DuckDuckGo; and 3) emerging blockchain-based platforms like Status and Opera.
