Read: 12 October 2026. 35 platforms and agencies that sell UGC videos or creator posts to UK businesses, every page public, nothing behind a login. This page names every platform and quotes its own figures.

UGC, user-generated content, is the short, phone-shot video a creator makes for your own feed and ads. Rate guides put it at tens to low hundreds of pounds a video. We wanted to know what the companies that sell it actually show you before you book a call.

We read the pricing pages of 35 UGC and creator platforms in one day. 17 publish no price at all. Six show only their own platform fee, not what the creator charges. Six show a starting price, an average or a campaign minimum. Three let you work out the full cost of a first order from the page alone.

What we read

The 35 are the UGC and creator platforms most often pitched to UK businesses, plus UK UGC agencies found by search. Some are US companies that sell to UK brands. For each one we opened the pricing page, or the homepage where there was no pricing page, and recorded what it says, in the currency it says it in.

We did not convert currencies, book demos or ask for quotes. Every price quoted below was read on the platform’s own page on 12 October 2026, and we kept screenshots of the pages that carry prices. Three sites were not read: one would not load, and two ask automated readers not to.

The one-video price test

We call it the one-video price test. A page passes if a business can work out the full cost of its first order from that page alone: what the creator is paid, what the platform charges, and the smallest order you can place, with no call.

The one-video price test, 35 UGC and creator platforms, 12 October 2026Platforms
Pass: the full cost of a first order is on the page3
A starting price, an average or a campaign minimum only6
The platform’s own fee only, not the creator’s price6
No price published17
Could not be read3

So three of 35 pages pass: Twirl, UGC3 and Trend.

The three that pass

  • Twirl: £350 for one video on its pricing calculator, £325 each at 10, and £240 each at 60, which is £14,400. The calculator states full paid and organic usage rights.
  • UGC3: £295 per creator on its calculator, plus a £35 a month platform fee. A done-for-you campaign starts at £849.
  • Trend: $550 for up to 6 videos on its Starter package, and $3,872 for up to 56 videos on its Scale package. It prices in US dollars.

Twirl and UGC3 are the only two in the set that publish the full cost of a first order in pounds. On their own figures, that first order costs £330 to £350: UGC3’s £295 plus one month’s £35, or Twirl’s £350 for a single video.

That sits above the £50 to £250 a video that most rate guides quote, including our own influencer and UGC rates page. A rate guide averages across creators who set their own prices. A managed service that finds, briefs and pays the creator for you also charges for that work.

Platform fees without the creator’s price

Six platforms publish what they charge you, but not what the creator charges. The creator’s fee is agreed later, creator by creator, and on most of them a marketplace fee is added to it.

PlatformPlatform fee shownFee on what you pay creators
InsensePlans from $500 a month7%, 10% or 20%, by plan
Influee$229, $529 or $999 a month10%
JoinBrandsPlans at $99, $299 and $4998% to 15%, by plan
CollabstrPlans at $0, $249 and $33310% or 5% hiring fee
Sideshift$210 or $349 a month, billed yearlyNot stated
AfluencerPlans at $49, $649 and $1,049Not stated

On these six, the platform fee is the only firm number. What a video costs depends on a creator’s price you only see once you are inside.

Starting prices, averages and minimums

  • UGC.co.uk: videos “from £59”, excluding VAT. It is a marketplace where each creator sets their own package and price, and the address on the site is in Amsterdam.
  • Velena Lifestyle: videos “from £130”, with organic rights and a 12-month paid media licence.
  • Brands Meet Creators: bundle prices of $250 and $600 and a creator priced at $120 a video, all on the same page, so the price of one video depends on which figure you read.
  • Stack Influence: “$30 on average” when an influencer completes a post. That is an average, not a price, and it sits beside plans of up to $6K a month on an annual contract.
  • Minisocial: projects “start at $3,000 for a campaign of 10 creators”, creator fees included.
  • Statusphere: “initial investments starting at $10,000”.

The 17 with no price

Seventeen publish no price for a business buyer: Billo, Cohley, Creative Milkshake, Hashtag Paid, inBeat, Lure Agency, Simply Thrilled, Skeepers, Social Native, The Social Shepherd, The UGC Agency, Trendt, TRIBE, TTagz, UGCers, Upfluence and Vidsy. Most send you to a demo, a call or an enquiry form.

No price is not proof of a high price. It does mean the first number you see comes from a salesperson, after you have described your budget.

Figures are as shown on each platform’s page, in the currency shown. Links go to the page we read.

What this does not prove

  • One day, one read. Prices change, and calculators can show different figures to different visitors.
  • We read pages, not quotes. A call may produce a lower price than a page.
  • Currencies are as shown. We did not convert dollars to pounds.
  • The 35 are not every UGC seller. They are the platforms most often pitched to UK businesses, plus UK agencies found by search.
  • We did not test the videos, the creators or the service. This is about what is published, not who is good.

What to do with this

Before you book a call, decide how many videos you need and where they will run. Then ask for one number in writing: the all-in cost of your first order. That means the creator’s fee, the platform or subscription fee, any marketplace percentage, how long you can use the video in paid ads, and whether VAT is on top. If a supplier cannot give you that number, you cannot compare them with anyone else.

What creators charge by follower tier is on our influencer and UGC rates page. Video production more broadly is in our UK video marketing costs data. The fees agencies leave off their pricing pages are in our study of UK agency contract terms. To see how your own business shows up online, run the free Visibility Check.
