A Message from the Founder

Why free for brands? Why paid for creators?

We've seen how other platforms work. They charge brands hefty fees to post listings. What happens? Only the big players show up. The cool startup with a genuine product? The local business that actually pays well? They never make it.

We didn't want that. So brands list for free. Always. No "premium tiers," no hidden fees. Just post and connect. This brings in way more opportunities—including the ones you'd never find elsewhere.

Why optional subscriptions for creators?

All creators can join for free, browse listings, and submit proposals. Our optional $9.99/year Profile Boost gives you a verified badge and higher visibility. For direct email access to brands, our $49.99/year Premium Contact Access add-on provides that extra edge. But these are optional enhancements, not requirements.

More opportunities. Less noise. That's the idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Is it really free for brands?

Yes, completely free forever. Brands can post up to 3 active listings, browse creators, and connect directly—all without paying a single dollar. No credit card required, no hidden fees, no premium tiers.

Is it free for creators to join?

Yes! All creators can join for free. You can browse all brand listings, submit up to 10 proposals per month, save favorite listings, and track your proposal status—all without paying anything. Optional subscriptions ($9.99/year for Profile Boost, $49.99/year for Premium Contact Access) are available for enhanced features but are not required.

What's included in the Profile Boost subscription ($9.99/year)?

Profile Boost includes: verified badge, higher search and listing visibility, early access to new listings via email notifications, and unlimited proposals (vs. 10/month for free users). This helps brands identify serious, invested creators.

What is Premium Contact Access ($49.99/year)?

Premium Contact Access is an add-on that requires an active Profile Boost subscription. It gives you direct access to brand contact emails, allowing you to reach out to founders and brand owners directly. This is perfect for creators who want to close deals faster through direct communication.

How do I get paid as a creator?

You connect directly with brands and negotiate payment terms. We don't take any commission—you keep 100% of what you earn. Brands can pay you via their preferred method (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.).

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, absolutely. Creators can cancel their subscription at any time from the dashboard. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period, and there are no cancellation fees.

How long do listings stay active?

Brand listings stay active for 1 full year—10x longer than most platforms. This gives you consistent visibility and more time to find the right creators without constantly renewing.

What makes your Link-in-Bio different?

Our Link-in-Bio is included in your subscription and includes features that cost $96+/year elsewhere: unlimited links, click analytics, affiliate product integration, brand partnership showcase, and professional design. It's a complete monetization hub, not just a link aggregator.

Is my data secure?

Yes. We use enterprise-grade encryption, secure payment processing through DodoPayments (PCI-DSS compliant), and follow GDPR best practices. We never share your data with third parties, and all creators are phone-verified for security.
