The creator sees it, films to it, and is paid for each approved video. *Both sides work to the same terms, and a person steps in when they disagree.* Post the job with your price and what each video must include. Creators apply to those terms. [Post a job free](https://octoclip.io/signup/brand) You’re charged only when a creator accepts. FAQ ## Questions brands ask before posting.

[Write to us](mailto:info@octoclip.io) ### What is Octoclip? Octoclip is a UGC marketplace where brands hire creators for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts videos. You post a job for free, creators apply, and you pay **a fixed price for each approved video**, never by views. It is not an agency: you choose every creator. ### Does it cost anything to post a job? **No.** Posting a job is free, and so is sending offers to the creators you like. ### When am I charged? Only **when a creator accepts your offer**. You see the full amount before you send it, and the payment is **secured before any work starts**, so the creator films knowing it’s there. ### Who sets the price? **You do.** You set the price per video when you post the job, and creators see it before they apply. You see the full amount before you send an offer. €120 per UGC video €60 per creator post Example ### What’s the difference between a UGC video and a creator post? A **UGC video** is a file you run as your own ad. A **creator post** goes live on the creator’s own account, and you get the link to the post. ### What format are the videos? **Portrait 9:16**, every time, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. A UGC video arrives as a Google Drive link; a creator post arrives as a link to the live post. ### Can I hire for one batch, or keep it going? Both. A **one-batch** job hires the creators you need against one final date. An **ongoing** job keeps hiring until you close it, and each creator delivers within 7, 14, 21 or 30 days of being hired. You can also keep a creator on a monthly retainer, paid month by month. No subscription. ### How long do I have to review a video? **5 days.** Approve it or ask for a revision. We remind you 24 hours before the end, and if you don’t answer, the video approves itself. ### What if a video misses the brief? Ask for **1 revision**, tied to a must-include point from your brief that the video missed. The creator has 3 days to send it back, and your 5-day review starts again. ### What happens if we can’t agree? **A person at Octoclip decides**, within 5 business days. They look at the brief, the video and what you both agreed to before filming. ### Can I run it from Claude or ChatGPT? **Yes.** Connect Octoclip and ask in plain words: draft a job from your link, read who applied, see which videos need you. Anything that charges your card or pays a creator is finished on Octoclip. **A person answers.** Can’t find your question? Write to us and someone at Octoclip replies.
