Four ways to get UGC videos, side by side.
An agency, messaging creators yourself, a freelancer site or PushBrands. Here's how price, payment safety and your time compare, including where another way wins.
PushBrands or an agency?
Cost, speed and control in six real situations, with the cases where an agency is the better fit.
- Price on the profile vs. a quote
- One video vs. a package
- You pick vs. they pick
What changes from one way to the next.
| PushBrands | Agency | Messaging creators yourself | Freelancer site | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price before you order | On every profile | A quote after the brief | Ask each creator | Listed per gig |
| Payment safety | Waits in the pool until you approve | Per contract, often upfront | Usually a transfer upfront | Held by the site |
| Saudi creators | Saudi creators only | Their own roster | Whoever you find | Mixed, not Saudi-focused |
| Follower numbers | From the connected account | Their reports | Screenshots | Varies |
| Changes after delivery | No cap; the team settles disputes | Per contract | Up to the creator | Per gig terms |
| Smallest order | One video, no subscription | Usually a package or retainer | One video | One gig |
| Your time | Search, chat and pay in one place | Least: they run it for you | Most: you chase everyone | Medium |
General picture; terms differ from one agency or site to another.

Questions about choosing
Can't find your answer? Message the team on WhatsApp or read the step-by-step guides in the Help center.
When is an agency the better choice?
When you need strategy, media buying or a big production with a crew. For videos filmed by creators on their own phones, PushBrands is usually faster and cheaper.
Why not just message creators on Instagram?
You can, but you pay upfront with no protection, chase prices one by one and rely on screenshots. On PushBrands the price is on the profile and the money waits in the pool.
Can I use PushBrands and an agency together?
Yes. Many agencies order on PushBrands for their clients, with each client as a sub brand in one account.
