Agniverse MediaTop pick
The best UGC agency for apps and brands that want views to turn into customers who stay. It is run by a founder who took his own app to 50M+ organic views, and it is judged on conversions first, then retention.
Billo
The best value self-serve UGC marketplace: videos from $99, prepaid packs with no subscription, and nine named case studies such as Flex Mobile cutting CAC from $220 to under $75. You write the briefs and run the ads yourself.
The Viral App
A strong option for B2C apps chasing organic views: 10,000+ vetted creators, named results like Cal AI at 1.5B+ views, and a 90-day program that hands the creator system to your team. Every price is a custom quote.
Insense
A strong self-serve pick for DTC brands and apps that will run their own briefs: published prices, 115k+ creators and built-in Spark Ads and Partnership Ads. The true cost per video is harder to forecast than the sticker price.
Social Native
The enterprise pick: a creator platform with 2M+ creators and published results for IKEA, Dr. Martens and Dollar Shave Club. No public pricing at all, so it is built for large brands with a budget to bring to a demo.
House of Marketers
A good pick for brands that want UGC, influencers and paid TikTok under one team, with a 250k+ creator network and results like Stickerbox at $300K in 90 days. There is no price list; fees are set per brief.
HardLaunch
Built for funded apps that want organic volume: 2,400+ creator posts a month and a 2.5-week launch. It starts at $30k a month with a 90-day commitment, and every client it cites is anonymous.
inBeat
A solid choice when you want UGC, influencers and paid social run by one team, with named results like Hurom's 300% ROAS lift. UGC pricing is not published, and its results mix UGC with paid media.
minisocial
A simple, fully managed way to get UGC from micro-creators at a published price: $3,000 for 10 creators, fees and licensing included. It publishes no performance results, and campaigns take 4-6 weeks.
Cohley
A good platform for mid-market product brands in the US and Canada: 200,000+ vetted creators and perpetual usage rights on every asset at no extra fee. Its own FAQ says apps and service businesses may fit better elsewhere.
Trend
The clearest fixed prices here, about $69 to $92 a video in credit packs, for ecommerce brands happy to run briefs themselves. It publishes no client results, and it is being folded into soona UGC.
Moburst
Worth a look if you want UGC alongside ASO, paid UA and app work from one large agency, with clients like Uber and Calm. UGC is a small part of the offer: no UGC case studies, network size or pricing are published.
