Every plan includes the full toolkit — negotiate or submit listings, escrow protection, creator-reported stats (platform verification in development). Upgrade later any time, no contracts.
Signing up is always free — post listings, work with creators, no cost to start. But right now, while we're in early launch, you can lock in extra value by becoming a Founding Partner: 3 or 6 months of Pro-level access, a lower platform fee, more listings to test with, and Founding Partner status on your profile. Not ready for that yet? Free and our other tiers are listed below.
Founder packages are non-refundable once purchased. Pro-level access begins once creator submissions are actually open to you — not from your signup date — so you're never paying for time you can't use.
Every Founding Partner gets Pro-level access included automatically — 10 listings/month at 8% + $4 flat fee, nothing to pick today. When that period is up (see when yours starts above), you'll choose whichever of the plans below actually fits, with the full term to think it over, no rush and no auto-charge in the meantime.
Everything in Business, plus Creator Discovery — a proactive scouting tool to search and browse creators directly by audience size, niche, and platform. This doesn't change what any creator sees or who can respond to your listings, every listing stays open to everyone regardless of plan. It's a separate outbound tool for businesses who want to hand-pick who they reach out to first.
The platform fee is added on top of the rate you agree to with a creator — it's never taken out of what the creator receives. Agree to a $1,000 deal on Free, and your bill is $1,154 ($150 at 15%, plus a flat $4 charged once per completed deal); the creator still gets the full $1,000. The same percentage applies to any bonus payout as it's earned, since that's still real deal volume moving through the platform — but the flat $4 is charged once per deal, not once per bonus tier.
Creators never pay Vinculor a dollar — not a subscription, not a cut, not ever.
This is the one most small businesses actually ask, so here's the real math: Growth costs $99/month, and drops your fee from 15% to 10% — a 5-point savings. Once your monthly creator deal volume covers that gap, Growth is free money on top.
Running enough volume that Pro, Business, or Elite start making sense too? Those tiers are less about fee math and more about capacity and support — unlimited listings, dedicated help, and (at Elite) the ability to proactively scout creators instead of waiting on listings alone.
