For brands and creators
UpShout is where brands and creators work together. Paid collaborations run step by step, with written terms and the creator paid in full. And a free community where creators grow each other's audiences.
Free for creators. Brands pay 5% per collaboration, never more than $20. First collab free.
One account for creators, with both inside. Brands have their own.
A brand finds a creator, writes a brief, and UpShout sends the invitation; terms are agreed in writing, the creator posts, the brand checks within 48 hours and pays. At every step UpShout tells both sides whose move it is and follows up when someone goes quiet.
Find collab-ready creators by size, platform, niche, language and audience, and send an invitation instead of a cold DM. Credits reward bigger creators for working with smaller ones, so you are not stuck in your own size bracket.
Not a checklist you work through alone. At every step the app tells the brand and the creator whose move it is, drafts what needs sending, writes down what you agree, and follows up when someone goes quiet. Same six steps, same record, both sides.
Search millions of creators, or invite one you already know by handle and email.
What, when, how much, what rights. UpShout drafts the invitation and sends it in your name.
Full terms at the link, no account needed to read. Accept, or ask for a change in chat.
Deliver from the collaboration page. UpShout reminds them when the date is near.
Matches the brief, or ask for a correction. Two rounds included.
Creator paid in full. Record saved for both, downloadable as a PDF.
Amber marks the creator's moves. When it is their move and they go quiet, UpShout follows up with them, so the brand does not have to.
The creator community, free since day one.
Everyone here is looking for a collab. Filter by size, platform, niche, language and audience, then send an invitation the other side expects.
Credits reward larger creators for working with smaller ones. You earn them by collaborating, and spend them to reach up.
Collab requests, shoutouts and ratings live on one dashboard, so you know who delivered.
UpShout is a collaboration platform for creators and brands. For brands, it is the simplest way to start influencer marketing: a tool for running a paid creator collaboration step by step, from finding the creator to paying them, with the terms written down and the creator paid in full. For creators, it is a free community for exchanging shoutouts and collabs with other creators, and the place where brands' invitations arrive with the full terms attached.
UpShout is built by a small, independent family team, not a venture-funded startup. The community is free; brands pay 5% of the creator's fee per collaboration, capped at $20, and the first collaboration carries no UpShout fee. Available to US brands and US creators.
