Who this is for
UGC creators who keep undercharging because they don't know what brands actually pay in their niche.
The problem this solves
UGC rates are wildly inconsistent: a beauty creator at 10k followers might charge $200 or $1,200 for the same TikTok asset. Brands know this and lowball creators who don't have a defensible rate card. The generator outputs benchmark-anchored rates so creators can negotiate from data, not gut feel.
UGC creators with a published rate card negotiate on average 35-50% higher per-deliverable rates than creators who price ad-hoc per brief — yet only 28% of creators under 50k followers maintain one.

Frequently asked
How much should a UGC creator charge?
At 5-10k followers: $200-500 per TikTok/Reel for non-exclusive UGC. At 10-50k: $500-1,500. At 50k+: $1,500-5,000+. Beauty, finance, fitness niches command 30-50% premiums.
What's the difference between UGC and influencer rates?
UGC = brand pays for usage rights to content the creator produces; the creator may or may not post on their own channel. Influencer = creator posts on their own channel with their audience. UGC rates are typically 40-60% of influencer rates.
How long should usage rights last?
Default 90 days for paid social ads. Brands often request 12 months or "in perpetuity" — charge 2-3× base rate for 12-month rights, 4-5× for perpetuity. Never give perpetual rights at base rate.
Should I charge differently for raw vs edited footage?
Yes. Raw footage delivery: 70-80% of edited rate. Fully edited with captions/branding: 100% rate. Add 20% if delivering source files (Premiere, Final Cut).
Do brands negotiate rate cards down?
Frequently. Counter with: usage-rights duration limits (90 days, not perpetual), exclusivity carve-outs (you can still work with non-competing brands), or deliverable swaps (1 video → 3 photos at same total fee).
