Rate Card

A creator’s published list of services and prices — typically per platform, content type, and deliverable count.

In short

A rate card is a creator’s published list of services and prices, itemised by platform, content type and deliverable count, such as one Instagram Reel plus three Stories. It lets a brand compare creators on the same terms before contacting anyone, and it usually states revisions, usage rights, exclusivity and turnaround time next to each price. A creator who publishes one is often called a rate card influencer.

A rate card is the influencer-economy equivalent of a freelancer’s services page. It lists what the creator will produce (Instagram Reel, TikTok video, UGC bundle, story set, blog mention) and the price for each. Industry shorthand calls a creator who publishes their pricing this way a "rate card influencer", meaning a creator who treats their fees as a documented product rather than a per-deal negotiation. Rate cards remove the back-and-forth that historically slowed influencer marketing — both sides see the same numbers upfront.

A clear rate card typically includes: deliverable type (e.g. "Instagram Reel + 3 Stories"), duration if applicable (15s, 30s, 60s), revisions included, usage rights, exclusivity window, and turnaround time. Top creators also publish add-on pricing for whitelisting, paid amplification rights, and extended exclusivity.

Frequently asked questions

What should a creator put on a rate card?

List each deliverable with its price, then state the revisions included, the usage rights, the exclusivity window and the turnaround time. Price add-ons such as whitelisting and extended exclusivity separately, so a brand can see what the base fee covers.

On Collabios, every creator profile shows their full rate card with transparent prices in EUR. Brands add specific services to the cart and book directly; pre-hire messaging is coming soon, and after booking, brand and creator chat inside the order to settle the details of a custom brief.

Booking and payment questions

Where can I find creators with a published rate card?

Collabios is a marketplace, not an agency: each creator profile lists services with prices in euros, and a brand adds a service to the cart and books directly. Other routes are asking a creator for a media kit by email or going through an agency, which adds a managed layer with its own pricing.
