What it costs on UnifyOps
0% commission for brands and creators. You agree a price, then pay the creator directly by UPI, PayPal or bank transfer, so all of it reaches the person doing the work.
On a $1,000 project
| Who you hire through | Brand pays | Creator gets | They keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| A typical agency | $1,000 | $800 | $200 |
| UnifyOps | $1,000 | $1,000 | $0 |
20% is a common mid-point for agency management fees. UnifyOps is 0% for brands and creators: the brand pays the creator directly by UPI, PayPal or bank transfer. We don't touch the money, so we also can't hold or settle it. More on pricing
