Can I Start on UGC Roster Without a Paid Subscription?

What's free, forever

A creator account on UGC Roster is free to create and keep. There is no trial to expire. With a free account you can:

  • Build and publish your portfolio, and share its link
  • Browse open brand deals in the Direct Deals tab and at ugcroster.com/ugc-jobs
  • Apply to brand campaigns
  • Reply to brands who message you

Applying to deals costs nothing and needs no subscription.

What needs a paid plan

The Outreach Engine — where you pitch brands from our database — is a paid feature, and free accounts cannot open the outreach tabs at all. A paid plan also adds the opportunities feed, deal tracking and contract tools.

If you subscribe today, the plan you choose is Pro: $29.99/month or $299/year. Starter ($14.99/month or $149/year) is closed to new web signups — creators already on Starter keep their plan and are unaffected.

The exact amount you pay is whatever Stripe shows at checkout and on your receipt; a coupon or affiliate code may change it.

There is no free trial for creators

Creator plans have no free trial. You are charged for the billing period you pick — monthly or annual — when checkout completes. (Brands using the separate Brand Portal can get a trial, but that is a different product.)

So can you earn without paying?

Yes. You can be hired and paid by brands on the free plan by applying through Direct Deals. A paid plan reaches more brands faster, but it is not required to get hired. Nobody can promise you a first deal, or when one comes.

Where to start

  1. Create your free account.
  2. Complete your portfolio: full name, profile photo, at least one niche, at least one social link, and at least three videos.
  3. Open Direct Deals and apply to every campaign that fits your niche.
  4. Set up your payout account once a brand hires you.
