UGC and creator ads, briefed and paid in one place
Insense is the heavier of the creator marketplaces: briefs, contracts, payments and the plumbing for running the resulting content as Meta partnership ads or TikTok Spark Ads. That last part is what brands pay for. Pricing starts where a solo creator stops being the customer.

Buy shoutouts from creators by the post
Shoutcart is a marketplace for a single paid post rather than for a relationship: creators list what they charge, a brand books one, and money moves when the post goes up. Nothing is charged for browsing or for setting up a campaign, and the fee arrives only on a booking. Order sizes run from a few dollars to five figures, which is a wider spread than most influencer platforms will take.
Our note
The wide bottom end is the real draw, since very few platforms will process a fifty dollar shoutout at all. Vet the accounts yourself: a marketplace that takes nothing until a booking has limited incentive to police the listings.
