Money and tracking8x SocialTrybe
How sales are attributed Views, not sales. Every view is counted as it lands on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube; videos are posted from new TikTok and Instagram accounts created for each campaign, not the creator's personal account. No sales attribution is described; the pitch is organic reach with zero ad spend. 12 Server-side last-click attribution built in, from click to checkout, tied to the creator, submission and sale in the store. Brands can instead pay creators on Meta attribution. Each video carries a unique Trybe ID and URL parameters must be on the ad. 12
Platform fee Brand side: not published; the terms say standard pricing is per creator per month, by tier, geography and negotiated terms, billed monthly in advance, plus processing fees. Creator side: a platform service fee is deducted before payout; the percentage is not stated. 1 1.5 % of attributed sales on sales-based commissions (% of GMV or per order); 1.25 % of ad spend on ad-performance commissions; 1.5 % of creator earnings on flat payments (per submission, retainers, bonuses). Never stacked. 1
Brand pricing Self Service: no price shown, 7-day free trial, cancel anytime. Full Service: custom pricing by campaign scope, minimum engagement from $5k/month, 8x handles briefs, sourcing, payments, contracts and usage rights. Terms: subscriptions per creator per month, non-refundable once services commence, 1.5 % monthly interest on late payment. 123 Free to start; no seats, no contracts, no minimums. The fee above applies as money moves to creators. 1
Creator payout Payouts run monthly, in 30 countries, by bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe or crypto depending on country; the terms say typically within 14 business days of brand approval, through Stripe Connect or other processors, after identity verification and tax documentation, in US dollars with possible conversion fees. No minimum followers to join; no minimum payout stated. 12 Payouts run automatically on Stripe. Creators are paid direct to their bank through Stripe Connect with $0 withdrawal fees; currency conversion is handled; free for creators. 1
Regions Creators in 140+ countries; payouts in 30 countries; examples on the brands page include the United States, Germany, Spain, India and the Middle East. Company: 8x Social, Inc., a Delaware C corporation; the terms reference the EU Digital Services Act and consumer law in the user's country. 12 Payouts through Stripe in 170+ countries, they say. 1
Scale they publish They say: They say: 250,000+ creators in 140+ countries, 12,000+ posts, 300M+ views generated with no ad spend; case claims include 62M+ views in two months for a consumer app. 12 They say: They say brands launch 100+ ads in fewer than 10 clicks.
