    Beta Ads vs an influencer agency

    An influencer agency negotiates deals creator by creator and usually charges fees, retainers or commission. Beta Ads charges per 1,000 played views, refunds anything not delivered, and shows every view in your own dashboard.

    When an influencer agency is the better fit

    We would rather tell you now than after a campaign.

    You want a creator's personal endorsement

    Talk-based integrations and long creator relationships are what agencies do well.

    You need content beyond the stream

    Agencies can bundle videos, social posts and strategy into one retainer.

    Questions buyers ask

    How do influencer agencies charge?

    Influencer Marketing Hub describes fee-based, campaign-based, commission-based and retainer models. Prices are rarely public.

    Can I use Beta Ads alongside an agency?

    Yes. Agencies also buy from us, with their own self-serve login, and sell livestream to their clients as part of the plan.
