Every agency, scored out of 5
One point for each thing the agency shows on its own site. Each check is a yes or a no, so you can verify every score yourself. Three agencies get all five, us included. The score tells you how much an agency puts in public, not whether it fits you. That is what the ranking is for.
- Price on the site. A floor, a per-video price or a plan. Not a budget band in a form.
- Named result with a number. A named brand or app and a figure, such as ROAS, CPA or views.
- Runs creators for you. They brief, manage and deliver. A self-serve tool alone does not count.
- Creators in 3+ countries. Stated on the site, not implied by a logo wall.
- Judged on sales or installs. Results stated as CPA, ROAS, installs, revenue or conversions, not only views or reach.

How much does a UGC agency cost?
UGC is sold three ways. You pay per video or post, you pay a project or monthly fee, or you get a quote after a call. The table lists what each price buys, because the headline numbers are not comparable on their own.
| Who | Published price | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Agniverse Media | From $10K a month | Organic UGC program with creator fees included; ad usage for a year, or longer on request |
| HardLaunch | From $30K a month, 90-day minimum | End-to-end app creator program with a campaign manager |
| Twirl | From £240 / $325 / 280€ a video, 4-video minimum | Done-for-you UGC video with full usage rights; monthly plans add £400 to £700 for concepts or management |
| minisocial | From $3,000 a project (10 creators) | Managed micro-influencer posts, creator fees and licensed content |
| Insense | Plans from $400 a month, UGC from $100 a video | Marketplace access, plus a 7% to 20% fee on creator payments |
| Influee | Plans from $229 a month | Up to 10 collaborations a month; creator fees and a 10% fee on top |
| Trend | $550 for up to 6 videos | Self-serve credits with full licensing rights |
| Stack Influence | About $30 per completed post | Product seeding; creators are paid mainly in product |
| inBeat, Moburst, Creative Milkshake, The Viral App, The UGC Agency, Social Native, Cohley | Not published | Quote after a call, or priced on volume |
A price per video is not a price per customer
Stack Influence is about $30 a post because creators are paid partly in product, and you write the brief. HardLaunch at $30K a month and our $10K a month are programs: strategy, creators, posting and iteration, judged on installs or sales. Compare what each customer costs you, not what each video costs.
UGC ads or organic UGC?
UGC ads are creator-style videos you pay to run, so you pay creator fees plus media spend. Organic UGC is posted to earn reach in the feed, so you pay for creators per view. Everything Agniverse Media runs is organic UGC. On our organic campaigns we see roughly $0.50 to $3 per 1,000 views and view-to-conversion of about 0.5% to 2%, planning ranges rather than promises. More on running UGC ads and the UGC benchmarks.
The agencies, by use case
Grouped by the job each one does best. The number on each card is its rank on this list.
Best UGC agencies for apps
Creator programs built for app installs, from organic-first to full app-growth shops.

#1Agniverse Media
RetainerScore 5/5
Best for: Apps and brands that need views that turn into customers who stay
Not the fit if you want a large paid-media team, or a one-off batch of videos
Built by an operator, for operators. Founder An Nayal built Flamme, a consumer app, took it to 50M+ organic views and 200K retained users on zero paid spend, and sold it to Arya. Agniverse Media runs the same playbook for apps and brands with native creators in the US, the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and India, so the content reads like your buyer made it. Everything we run is organic UGC, judged on conversions first, then retention, not on views. Best if you want senior people who have shipped and grown an app themselves.
Client proof A client with an AI app for small businesses: 3.7M organic views and 190K conversions in 7 weeks, from 338 videos and 16 creators.

#2HardLaunch
RetainerScore 3/5
Best for: Funded apps that want a high-volume organic creator program
HardLaunch (UGC AI, Inc.) runs end-to-end UGC programs for apps on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels, with a campaign manager and its own software. It reports 2,400+ human creator posts a month and 2.5B+ views shipped in six months.
Heads-upThe highest published entry price on this list, a 90-day minimum, and creators stay under its contract during the partnership.

#3Moburst
RetainerScore 3/5
Best for: Apps that want UGC alongside ASO, paid UA and app store work
A mobile-first marketing agency headquartered in New York, founded in 2013, with US offices in San Francisco, Florida and Denver. Its creative group runs a UGC creator network for TikTok and Reels that feeds its own ad production. Case studies include Uber, Calm, Reddit and Samsung.
Client proof Shopkick: Moburst reports an 87% drop in CPI after moving to creator-style TikTok content.
Heads-upMost published results are ASO and paid UA, so ask how much UGC volume they actually run.
#4Creative Milkshake
ProjectScore 4/5
Best for: App, gaming and fintech brands that want creator ads in several languages
A performance-creative agency that combines creator and studio production with creative strategy, measurement and paid media. It says it makes ads in English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese, and names iwoca, N26, Wise and Playtika among its clients.
Client proof N26: Creative Milkshake reports a 65% lower cost per mobile registration.
Heads-upNo published price, and the footer points to a Quebec registration, so ask where the team sits.

#5The Viral App
RetainerScore 2/5
Best for: B2C mobile apps chasing organic installs from TikTok and Reels
A UGC and influencer agency for B2C apps, a Delaware LLC that says it specializes in the US. It runs creator sourcing, posting schedules, AI UGC and paid UGC, and reports 3B+ organic views across 60+ app clients from a network of 10,000+ creators.
Client proof Cal AI: The Viral App reports 500+ creators and 1.5B+ views on the account.
Heads-upApps only, a team of 12 listed on its site, and the headline results are views, by the agency's own attribution.
Best full-service UGC agencies for paid social
Creator ads made to run on Meta and TikTok, with the paid side close by.

#6inBeat
RetainerScore 3/5
Best for: Brands that want UGC, influencer and paid media run by one team
A creator and performance-creative agency with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Montreal, part of the Fieldtrip group. It runs UGC production, influencer campaigns and paid social on Meta, TikTok and Snapchat. Its UGC page reports $20M+ in monthly ad spend managed and 200+ brands scaled.
Client proof Hurom: inBeat reports a 300% lift in ROAS and 65% lower CPA from performance UGC.
Heads-upNo published pricing, and the service menu is broad, so a UGC-only buyer may end up scoping more than they need.
#7The UGC Agency
ProjectScore 3/5
Best for: Brands, apps and marketplaces that want UGC ads for Meta and TikTok in many markets
Not the fit if you want a published price before the first call
A London UGC agency in Covent Garden that makes video ads for Meta and TikTok, mass UGC for apps, TikTok Shop content and ads in other languages. It reports 30,000+ creators, 16,600+ of them in the US and 3,200+ in the UK, and says it covers 100+ countries. You get one quote after a call.
Heads-upIts two case studies with numbers are anonymous (under NDA), and happn is named without a figure.
Best UGC agency for the UK and Europe
Published prices in pounds, dollars and euros, with UK, US and European creators.
#8Twirl
HybridScore 5/5
Best for: Brands that want done-for-you UGC video with a published price
A London UGC production company, registered in England and Wales, that handles creator matching, the brief, edits in two aspect ratios, two revisions and full usage rights. It reports 8,000+ creators across the UK, US and Europe, and names Trainline and Airalo among its logos. Monthly plans add concept work from £400 or end-to-end management from £700, plus video costs.
Client proof Nyrah Beauty: Twirl reports a 4.2x return on ad spend.
Best UGC agencies for DTC and ecommerce brands
Platforms and managed shops for brands with a product a creator can hold.

#9Social Native
HybridScore 4/5
Best for: Large consumer brands running creator content in many markets
A Los Angeles creator marketing platform covering sourcing, rights, payments and distribution to ecommerce, social and paid media. It reports 1,500+ brands served across 70+ markets.
Client proof Dr. Martens: Social Native reports a 1.6x lift in conversion rate from UGC on product pages.
Heads-upBuilt for enterprise brands, so smaller teams and app marketers get less tailored support, and there is no public price.

#10Cohley
HybridScore 2/5
Best for: Mid-market and enterprise brands selling physical products
A New York creator content platform, running since 2015, that says it connects brands with 200,000+ vetted creators for UGC, reviews and product seeding. Brands post a brief and creators apply; a managed tier adds strategy and creator management. Its own FAQ says it is built for physical products in the US and Canada.
Client proof Rack Room Shoes: Cohley reports 59% more reach and 110% more engagement on Instagram than studio assets.
Heads-upIts own FAQ says apps and service businesses may fit better elsewhere, and on the base plan the brand does the briefing and creator picks.

#11Stack Influence
MarketplaceScore 4/5
Best for: Ecommerce and Amazon brands seeding product to many micro-creators
A Miami micro-influencer seeding platform that produces posts and UGC with full usage rights, then turns top creators into ambassadors or affiliates. It reports 410K vetted creators, and its case studies center on Amazon launches and Meta partnership ads.
Client proof Ybera: Stack Influence reports 4.6x ROI and $288K in revenue.
Heads-upBuilt for physical products a creator can receive, so it fits apps and services poorly.

#12minisocial
ProjectScore 2/5
Best for: Product brands that want micro-influencer posts plus licensed content
Fully managed micro-influencer and UGC campaigns since 2018: sourcing, vetting, briefing and approvals. The price is in its FAQ and scales with the number of creators, and content is licensed for ads, social and web. It says it has worked with 1,000+ brands and agencies, Magic Spoon among them.
Heads-upIts case studies show scope but no performance numbers.
Best UGC platforms if you run it yourself
Marketplaces with published prices. You write the brief and pick the creators.
#13Insense
MarketplaceScore 5/5
Best for: DTC brands and apps that want a large creator marketplace with ad tools
A New York creator marketplace that reports 115k+ creators across 57+ countries and 3,500+ DTC brands, mobile apps and agencies as customers. Plans run from $400 a month billed yearly, UGC starts at $100 a video, and a marketplace fee of 7% to 20% sits on top, depending on the plan.
Client proof Bones Coffee: Insense reports 54 UGC ads in 3 months at a 2.16 ROAS and 21% CTR.
Heads-upA platform first: you run the briefs unless you buy its managed help.
#14Influee
MarketplaceScore 4/5
Best for: Teams that want to self-serve UGC in many countries at volume
Not the fit if you want a done-for-you agency
A self-serve UGC marketplace: you launch the brief and pick creators, and it handles contracts, rights and creator payments. It reports 180,000+ creators and 1,800+ brands. Plans run from $229 a month for up to 10 collaborations to $999 for 50, with creator fees and a 10% marketplace fee on top.
Client proof Else: Influee reports a 20% lower CPA for its creatives than for other creatives.
Heads-upSelf-serve, not managed. Localization quality depends on your own briefing.

#15Trend
MarketplaceScore 1/5
Best for: Small DTC brands that want fixed-price product videos and photos
A self-serve UGC marketplace: post a brief, vetted creators deliver videos and photos, and full licensing rights for social, web, ads and Amazon are included. It reports 3,700+ creators and over 1,000 brands, with Lyft and Kettle & Fire among the logos.
Heads-upYou run the briefs and approvals, and Trend is joining soona, so check which company you contract with.

Handler
SoftwareBest for: Teams that want to make app UGC themselves, with a 7-day free trial
Not an agency, so it is not ranked or scored. Handler is the DIY layer: find the TikToks already beating their creator's usual views in your niche, see why they worked, and draft your own briefs before you hire anyone. Best if you want to test UGC yourself first.

How to choose a UGC agency
Decide the job first. Creator ads to run on paid social, organic UGC posted to earn reach, and a platform to source creators yourself are three different purchases. Then ask where the creators live, what usage rights you get and for how long, and whether the price is published or a quote. Ask for work you can name and a result you can check.
UGC agency, creator platform or influencer agency?
A UGC agency makes the creator content for you: Agniverse Media, HardLaunch, Moburst, Creative Milkshake, The Viral App, inBeat, The UGC Agency and Twirl. A creator platform gives you creators and tools and you run the brief: Insense, Influee, Trend, Stack Influence, Cohley and Social Native, several with a managed tier on top. An influencer agency buys a named creator's audience. minisocial sits in between, with micro-influencer campaigns that also hand you licensed content.
What to look for in a UGC partner
- Native creators in your market, who sound like your buyer.
- Work you can name and a result you can check.
- Usage rights in writing: term, channels, whitelisting.
- A published price, or a stated reason there is none.
- Honest briefs, with disclosure in the video and no invented testimonials.
- Honest about fit. A good partner tells you when someone else suits you better.
How this list is built
Agencies are ranked 1 to 15 on fit for a brand that wants creator content that turns views into customers who stay, then grouped by the job each one does best. Agniverse Media is ours and we rank it first because conversions and retention are the job we built it for. The score out of 5 is separate from the rank and uses five yes-or-no checks anyone can repeat. Every other claim, including prices, model, focus and named clients, was read from each agency's own website by 30 October 2026. Figures an agency reports about itself are labelled as its own claim, and anything we could not verify was left out.
