Side by side
| Pay model | TRIBE | Youdji |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly sessions | Not listed publicly | Not listed publicly |
| Pay per video | Each creator pitches a price for a post or a piece of content. The brand pre-approves (committing 50 % of the fee) and pays 100 % at final approval. Content Campaigns license UGC without the creator posting it, for 12 months or in perpetuity. 123 | Each creator sets a rate and negotiates with the brand, then sends an offer; their guide price is about 150 EUR excl. VAT a video, or 150-200 EUR with script writing and editing. 12 |

| Platform fee | A 30 % margin on the brand's total campaign spend, charged on approved content (a 42 % markup on the creator's price). Without a subscription a Campaign Activation Fee applies per campaign. Card payments carry a 1.4 % Stripe fee. Creators who choose 48-hour payment pay 10 % of that payout. 1234 | No fee is added to the price the brand agrees with the creator. Youdji takes 20 % of completed orders from the creator; for clients a creator brings, 0 % on the first order and 10 % after. 12 |
| Brand pricing | Two subscriptions, TRIBE (platform with standard support) and TRIBE Plus (fully managed); no subscription prices on the pages read. Content licensing fees vary by channel and duration and are quoted by their team. 12 | No subscription and no card needed to start; the brand pays only the agreed price per video. AI campaigns are an optional paid feature (the first is at no cost). Payment by card, bank transfer or a prepaid Youdji balance. 1 |
| Creator payout | Creators choose 45-day payment (the default, 100 % of earnings) or 48-hour payment within two business days of the approved post going live, with a 10 % fee on that payout. 12 | The brand pays in full before work starts; Youdji holds it and releases it when the brand approves. Payouts go to the creator's bank through Stripe, usually within 3 business days. Youdji invoices in the creator's name. 12 |
| Regions | Brands are billed in AUD, GBP or USD by location; offices in New York, London, Melbourne and Sydney. 12 | Creators in most of Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and Japan, among others; creators need a registered business that can invoice. Brand search filters list the US, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Canada, Switzerland and Portugal. 12 |
| Scale they publish | They say: They say 70,000+ opt-in creators and name Mars, Unilever, Olay, LEGO and McDonald's as clients. 1 | They say: They say 12,500+ creators, 3,000+ brands and agencies, and more than $6,000,000 paid to creators. 1 |
