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.
UGC creators booked at a fixed price
JoinBrands lists the price of a video before you brief anybody, so a campaign can be budgeted rather than negotiated one creator at a time. Content-only jobs, posting jobs and retainers all run through the same queue. The platform fee is the number to watch, because it drops four points between the free plan and the dearest one.
Our note
Do the arithmetic on the fee before subscribing, because the plans are sold as tiers and are really a volume discount. Below a few thousand a month in content spend, the free plan at 15 percent costs less than any subscription plus its lower rate.
