UGC Whitelisting Rate Calculator
Whitelisting is priced differently from a flat usage fee — a weekly rate scaled to how much the brand plans to spend. Get a fair range here.
Estimate — whitelisting fees vary by platform, follower count, and how much creative control the brand wants. This is on top of your normal content rate, not instead of it.
Inside Plug, whitelisting terms — spend tier, duration, renewal — get written onto a real license so a lapsed term flags itself instead of running past its date.

FAQ
How much should I charge for whitelisting?+
Most creators quote a weekly fee scaled to the brand's ad spend — roughly $75–$150/week for a small test budget, up to $700–$1,500+/week for a major campaign. Longer terms usually earn a discount.
Is whitelisting the same as usage rights?+
They're related but priced differently. Usage rights are typically a flat add-on to your content rate; whitelisting (ads running from YOUR handle) is usually a recurring weekly fee tied to ad spend, since it carries ongoing risk and reach through your account.
What's the difference between whitelisting and Spark Ads?+
They're brand names for the same idea on different platforms — Meta calls it Partnership Ads / whitelisting, TikTok calls it Spark Ads. Both let a brand run ads from your handle instead of theirs.
How do I make sure a whitelisting term doesn't run past its date?+
Put the exact term in writing. On Plug, whitelisting terms attach to a real license record, so an expiring term is visible instead of silently running past its date.
