# How Much Does Youdji Cost for a Brand?

On Youdji, you only pay for the content you order. Creating an account, searching for creators and talking with them is free, and no fees are added to the price you negotiate.

## Do you have to pay to use Youdji?

No. Creating an account and accessing the creator database are free, with no subscription and no credit card required. You can search for creators, contact them, negotiate and order without paying anything other than your orders.

There is no commitment and no minimum order: you can place a single order, today or in six months.

## Does Youdji add fees to the creator's price?

No. The amount you negotiate with the creator is the amount you pay, excluding taxes. If you agree on €200 excl. VAT, you pay €200 excl. VAT, not €210 or €220.

Youdji earns a commission taken on the creator's side, already included in their price.

## Why is the amount paid higher than the negotiated price?

Prices are shown and negotiated excluding taxes; applicable taxes are added at payment. In most cases, for a French brand, the order is invoiced by Youdji with 20% French VAT: €150 excl. VAT becomes €180 incl. VAT.

Depending on the creator's country, the invoice may also be issued in their name. Check the amount shown on the payment page before confirming. More details in the article **Payments and Invoicing on Youdji**.

## Which options are paid?

Two options, both optional:

* **Campaigns**: you publish your need, and only matching creators are invited to apply. Your first campaign is free, with no subscription or credit card. After that, the subscription starts at €99 per month for 3 campaigns per month, with no commitment. Higher plans exist for intensive use. The subscription is in addition to the price of the content. See the article **How Do Campaigns Work?**
* **Ongoing support**: for teams that want to be guided over time on their UGC strategy. Write to us to find out more.

You can always contact creators yourself, for free, without going through a campaign.

## How much does content cost?

Each creator sets their own rates. The price is negotiated based on your project: number of pieces of content, script, editing, hooks, usage rights, deadline. The rates shown on profiles are a guide. See the article **How Much Does a UGC Video Cost and How to Negotiate?**

## How to pay?

By credit card, by one-time bank transfer for eligible orders, or with Youdji credits purchased in advance by bank transfer. In every case, the creator is only paid once your content is approved.
