UGC Pricing Models Compared

Article image

UGC platforms charge in three main ways: a fixed price per video, a monthly subscription with creator payments on top, or a negotiated quote per creator. Fixed pricing is the easiest to budget, and on Noovid a 15-second video costs €75 with full commercial rights included. Subscriptions can pay off if you produce every month, and negotiated quotes can look cheaper until you add rights and revisions.

Whichever model you look at, compare the total you pay for a finished, usable video, not the headline price.

UGC platform pricing at a glance

PlatformHow it chargesPublished entry priceCreator payment included
NoovidFixed price per video€75 for 15 secondsYes
InflueeSubscription, creator payments and feeFrom €199 a month, plus a 10% feeNo
InsenseSubscription, creator payments and feesFrom $500 a month, billed quarterlyNo
YoudjiNegotiated with each creatorNo brand subscription or brand feeNo, negotiated
CollabstrMarketplace fee per hire10% brand fee on Free and Pro, 5% PremiumNo
BilloPrepaid packagesPrices shown only after you log inYes, within the order

Where creators live matters as much as price. Billo, for example, only accepts creators in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, so it won't help if your ad needs a French or Italian creator.

The three pricing models

Subscription plus creator payments

Influee and Insense charge a monthly plan, then you pay each creator and a percentage fee on top. Influee starts from €199 a month on its French page, plus a 10% marketplace fee. Insense starts from $500 a month, billed quarterly, with fees between 7% and 20% depending on the plan.

This model can make sense if you produce every month and use the campaign tools. For occasional campaigns, you pay for access you don't use.

Negotiated marketplaces

Youdji charges brands no subscription or fee; you agree a price with each creator. Collabstr charges brands a 10% hiring fee on its Free and Pro plans, or 5% on Premium, and creators pay 15%.

A negotiated quote can look low, but you only know the real total once the creator confirms what's included. Usage rights for paid ads and extra revisions are often priced separately.

Fixed price per video

Noovid charges a fixed price per video: €75 for 15 seconds, €99 for 30, €129 for 45 and €149 for 60. There is no creator commission and no subscription or brand fee for open briefs.

Every video includes three revisions and full commercial rights with no expiry, covering paid ads and transfer to an agency's client. Delivery is within 10 days of creator approval or product receipt, whichever is later. Creators are based in the 20 eurozone countries.

If you want creators to post the video or run it as a partnership ad, Social Boost and partnership ads are available as paid add-ons. Brands that order every month can add Noovid Pro (€79 a month or €790 a year) for direct creator invites, 5-day delivery from invited creators and a private community.

Example: ten 30-second videos in France

A skincare brand in Paris wants ten 30-second videos from French creators to run as ads on its own Meta and TikTok accounts. Shipping and VAT are left out.

ModelHow it adds upTotal
Influee subscription€199 for one month + 10 × €82 (Influee's France average) + 10% fee€1,101
Negotiated marketplace10 × a hypothetical €90 quote, no brand fee€900 before any separately priced rights
Noovid fixed price10 × €99, rights and three revisions included€990

The negotiated route looks cheapest, but only if creators accept €90 and that price covers paid ads. If the quote covers filming and organic posting only, the brand has to pay extra for an ad licence and renew it when it runs out. Noovid's €990 already includes paid ads with no expiry.

How to compare quotes

Before you sign up anywhere, check four things:

  • What you pay in total for the videos you need, including subscription, creator payments and fees.
  • Whether you can use the videos in paid ads, and for how long.
  • How many revisions are included.
  • Where the creators are based, and whether that matches your market.

Frequently asked questions

Is paying per video cheaper than a subscription?

Usually, for occasional campaigns, because you don't pay for months you don't use. A subscription can work out if you produce every month and the plan's tools save you time.

Do subscriptions include creator payments?

Not on Influee or Insense. You pay the creator and a percentage fee on top of the plan.

Are usage rights included in the price?

It depends on the platform. Noovid includes full commercial rights with no expiry, including paid ads. With negotiated deals, check whether paid ads are priced separately.
