Notes

Launchpoint publishes its 10 % fee only in blog posts (Jun 2026), not on a pricing page (launchpointhq.com/pricing returns 404); third-party reviews cite different rates for agencies and managed service, which are not reported here. The terms (11 Sep 2026) add 1 % and 3 % creative usage fees on ad spend and a $1,000 circumvention fee per creator. The home page's payout figures and the Performance UGC GMV and ROAS figures are not labelled as examples or results, so they are not reported as claims. Canvas UGC bonus ladders are described as $2-4 CPM in one post and $3-5 CPM in another.
