Hire UGC creators from a searchable marketplace
Collabstr is a directory of creators who will make content for a brand, with the brief, the payment and the escrow in one place. Browsing and hiring work on the free plan, which is unusual in this corner of the market. The paid tiers buy campaigns, analytics and a lower cut on each hire.
Our note
The free plan is the honest entry point here: it hires creators and holds the money, and the subscription mostly buys campaign tooling. Work out whether 5 percentage points off the fee beats $333 a month before upgrading.
Only on this side
UGC videos from creators, briefed and paid for
Influee is a marketplace for commissioned user-generated video: post a brief, pick from applicants, ship the product, get files back. The subscription caps how many collaborations run at once rather than how much footage arrives. Creator fees are separate from the plan, and the marketplace takes a percentage of them on the way through.
