Fees & payments

What it costs

UGCOrigin is free to join, free to browse, and free to message. There are no monthly fees and no listing fees. You only ever pay in connection with real work.

Creators keep 100%

When a brand hires you, the rate you agreed is the rate you receive. UGCOrigin does not take a cut from the creator side. What you quote is what lands in your bank account on payout.

Brands pay a flat service fee

Brands pay a small flat service fee on top of the creator's rate when they fund a deal. The exact fee is always shown to you before you pay, on the funding screen, added to the creator's rate, with the total spelled out. Nothing is hidden and nothing is charged until you choose to fund.

The fee is what keeps every deal safe: it pays for escrow, identity verification, dispute handling and next-day payouts (see below). It is a percentage of the deal with a small minimum, and it is only ever charged on funded work, never on signing up, browsing or chatting.

Per-view campaigns

If you'd rather pay for results, fund a campaign pool and pay creators per 1,000 verified views. You set the rate, unspent pool stays yours, and claims and forfeits are public to keep view counts honest.

Taxes

Prices are in Naira. Taxes may apply where required by law.
