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