Frequently asked questions

How much should an influencer charge per post?

A common baseline is a CPM on real reach — roughly $10–25 per 1,000 views or followers depending on platform — adjusted up for strong engagement, niche and usage rights. This tool estimates that range and breaks it down by deliverable.

Why is the rate different per deliverable?

A dedicated video is worth far more than a pre-roll mention or a story. We price each deliverable from the same engine that powers real bookings on SocialDB.

Does engagement change the rate?

Yes. A creator with above-average engagement can command a premium because their audience actually acts — so entering an engagement rate sharpens the estimate.

Is it free?

Yes — free and no login. Creators can claim their profile to set their own rates and get booked with escrow-backed payments.
