Posted App charges $500/month and takes 20% of every creator payout. Here are the best alternatives — including Jem Social, which gives brands 30M+ creators from $99/mo, and charges creators just 8–15% — far less than Posted's 20%.
Posted App introduced an interesting concept — creator contests for viral content. But the model comes with real limitations for brands who want to build consistent influencer programs, and real costs for creators who are putting in work with no guaranteed payout.

Depending on your use case — UGC content creation, large-scale influencer discovery, or managed campaigns — here are the other platforms worth evaluating.
TRIBE is the closest direct competitor to Posted, running a similar creator contest model with a vetted community of around 70,000 opt-in creators. Better for brands that want a managed service layer, but custom pricing and no self-serve option means it's better suited to mid-size and enterprise brands than small teams.
Billo is purpose-built for UGC video production — not influencer marketing. Creators record product demo videos for your briefs and you pay per accepted video. Good for generating ad-ready content at scale, but no organic social reach, no creator search, and no influencer relationship management.
Collabstr is a marketplace where brands browse creator profiles and book deals at listed rates — no subscription required. Good for one-off campaigns or testing specific creators. Limited campaign management and no long-term relationship tools, but a low-risk way to start working with creators without committing to a monthly platform fee.
Insense combines UGC content creation with influencer marketing, with strong integrations for TikTok Spark Ads and Meta whitelisting. Positioned between a UGC platform and a full influencer tool. More expensive than Jem Social and narrower in creator database, but strong if paid social amplification is your primary goal.
Posted App is built around a contest model — creators compete to create content for your brand and you only pay for the winner. Jem Social is a full-stack influencer marketing platform: brands search and contact creators directly from a 30M+ database, run structured campaigns, manage ongoing relationships, and track ROI. Posted is better for one-off viral content experiments. Jem Social is better for brands that want to build a real, repeatable influencer program.
For brands whose primary goal is generating a high volume of UGC video content through contests, Posted's model can work — particularly if you have the budget for $5,000+ contest prize pools on top of the subscription fee. For brands looking for influencer discovery, outreach, direct creator relationships, and campaign management, Jem Social delivers significantly more at $99/month.
Yes. Posted takes 20% of every creator payout — a significant deduction on top of what brands are paying. This is why many creators prefer Jem Social, where the platform fee is just 8–15% — significantly lower than Posted's 20% cut — plus a flat $20/month subscription for full access to pitch tools and the brand opportunity feed.
Posted's model is primarily inbound — creators come to you by applying to your contests or deals. You can browse and invite creators from the 100K database, but the platform isn't designed for proactive outreach at scale. Jem Social gives brands full search across 30M+ creator profiles with filters for niche, platform, follower count, engagement rate, audience demographics, and location.
Yes. Jem Social offers a free trial so you can explore the 30M+ creator database, run searches, and see the full platform before committing. No annual contract on any plan — cancel any time if it's not the right fit.
