FAQ

Common questions.

How much should I charge for UGC in 2026?
Beginner UGC creators typically charge $60–$225 per video. Intermediate creators (6–18 months) charge $120–$450. Experienced creators with strong portfolios charge $225–$675. Expert and agency-level creators command $575–$1,350+. Always charge separately for usage rights — a brand running your video as a paid ad should pay 50–100% on top of your base rate.
Should UGC creators charge for usage rights?
Yes, always. When a brand wants to run your content as paid ads, use it on their website, or repurpose it beyond organic posts, they're extracting significant additional value from your work. Organic usage is typically included in your base rate. Paid ad whitelisting should add 50–100% for a 3–6 month license. A full buyout (unlimited use, forever) should be 2–3× your base video rate.
What's the difference between raw and edited UGC video?
Raw video is unedited footage delivered straight from your camera. Brands use it to edit themselves or repurpose in their production workflow. Edited video includes your editing, captions, music, transitions, and polish. Edited video should always cost 40–60% more than raw because of the additional time and creative work. Many brands specifically request raw footage to maintain full creative control.
How do I share my UGC rate card with brands?
Copy your rate card from this generator and paste it into a Notion page, Google Doc, or Canva template to make it visually branded. Send it as a link — never as a PDF attachment, which can trigger spam filters. Even better: add it to your Jem Social creator profile so brands can see your rates before reaching out.
Why are these rates higher than what I see other places?
Most "UGC rate" articles online are 2-3 years out of date. UGC pricing has climbed substantially as brands have shifted budget from studio production to creator-led content. The rates here reflect 2026 market data, not 2023.
