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.
Only on this side
UGC videos priced per video, not per seat
Trend sells creator content in credit packages and charges nothing for the software around it, which suits a brand that needs a batch of videos twice a year rather than a running programme. Per-video cost falls as the package grows. The smallest package is $550, so it is not a way to test the idea cheaply.
