UGC4you

UGC4you is a Dutch-language UGC marketplace. A brand posts an assignment for free, sets its own budget (the floor the pricing page names is €25, and terms art. 6.5 says all amounts are excl. VAT), and creators respond with proposals; the brand picks one, pays a deposit, and pays the balance only after approving the delivered files. The platform publishes its take rate on both the pricing page and in its terms: 15% of the assignment budget, withheld from the creator's payout, so the creator receives 85%. Payments run through Stripe with iDEAL or card. The site describes itself in its footer as 'het eerlijkste UGC platform van Nederland' and claims '500+ geverifieerde creators'; the platform's own unauthenticated creator endpoint returned 417 creator records when we read it on 2026-09-20. Everything — site, contracts, support, creator roster — is Netherlands-focused and in Dutch.

1. 01

   Buyer sets the budget, creators bid

   Instead of a price list, you publish a brief with your own budget and deadline; creators reply with a proposal, portfolio, and motivation, and you choose. /ugc-prijzen says an assignment is live within two minutes and that posting costs nothing.

2. 02

   Published 15% platform commission

   Terms art. 6.3 states a flat 15% platform commission on the assignment total, withheld from the creator's payout, so the creator receives 85%. The same figure appears on /ugc-prijzen, so a buyer can see what share of the budget reaches the creator.

3. 03

   Escrow-style two-stage payment

   Per terms art. 6.2, a 10% deposit is held by the platform when you assign the job and the remaining 90% is due only after you approve the delivered content; /ugc-prijzen says files are released on final payment. Handled by Stripe via iDEAL or card.

4. 04

   Full IP transfer on payment

   Terms art. 7.1-7.2 transfer all intellectual property in the content to the buyer 'volledig en onherroepelijk' once payment completes, with the right to use, edit, reproduce, publish, and exploit it without further payment to the creator.

5. 05

   Creator roster readable from an open endpoint

   The /creators page is a client-rendered SPA shell with no creator data in its HTML, but the endpoint it calls is public and unauthenticated. Read on 2026-09-20 it returned 417 creator records with niches, self-set base rates in EUR, and portfolio items for 257 of them. This is an undocumented endpoint, not a vendor-advertised feature.

6. 06

   Netherlands-focused creator base

   All 417 creator records carry country 'Netherlands', though at least 18 of them give a Belgian city (Antwerpen, Gent, Leuven, Brugge, Hasselt and others) — so the country field and the city field disagree for those records. Creators are described as Dutch-speaking and locally based.

7. 07

   Free creator onboarding without a business registration

   The /ugc-prijzen FAQ says creators connect a bank account through Stripe and need only name, date of birth, and IBAN — 'geen KvK-nummer of website nodig' — and are paid automatically after the brand approves the content.

8. 08

   In-platform workspace and dispute mediation

   Chosen creators work with the brand in a private workspace with chat, progress tracking, and deliverable uploads. Terms art. 10 gives UGC4you a mediation role and says its ruling on releasing held payments is binding in the first instance.

• Dutch webshops and SMBs running a first, low-budget UGC test without a subscription or minimum order
• Buyers who prefer to set their own budget per assignment and compare proposals rather than buy a fixed package
• Brands that want outright IP ownership of the footage written into the platform terms, not a time-limited licence
• Campaigns that need Dutch-speaking creators and Dutch-market cultural fit
• Creators who want a platform with a published 85/15 split and no KvK requirement to join

Look elsewhere if

• Non-Dutch campaigns — the site, contracts, support, and all 417 creator records are Netherlands-based and Dutch-language
• Buyers who need a firm quote before briefing: there is no fixed price per video, only a budget you set and proposals you wait for
• Procurement that requires a countersignable contract with an identified legal entity — no KvK number, VAT number, or registered address is published
• Brands that want a verifiable delivery track record or public reviews before committing budget — neither is inspectable here
• Teams that want ad-ready edited video delivered as standard rather than raw clips with light editing
• Teams needing a large global creator pool (Influee, Collabstr, JoinBrands reach much further) or AI-generated video

There is no fixed price per video. You set a budget, creators bid, and UGC4you withholds a 15% platform commission from the creator's payout (terms art. 6.3), so the creator nets 85%. All quoted amounts are excl. 21% VAT (terms art. 6.5). Worked example on /ugc-prijzen for a €150 budget: deposit 10% = €15.00 + €3.15 VAT = €18.15 payable when you accept a proposal; balance 90% = €135.00 + €28.35 VAT = €163.35 payable after you approve the content; total €181.50 incl. VAT. CONTRADICTION 1 (payment split, three versions across two pages): the /ugc-prijzen payment section and terms art. 6.2 both say 10% deposit / 90% on approval, but the step-4 copy on that same /ugc-prijzen page says 'Pas na jouw goedkeuring voltooi je de eindbetaling (50%) via Stripe', and the mock order UI further up the same page shows a €150 budget as 'Aanbetaling: €90,75 incl. BTW • Eindbetaling: €90,75 incl. BTW' — a 50/50 split. /content-creator-inhuren mixes both: 'Kies je creator en betaal 10% aanbetaling' at step 3, then 'Betaal de resterende 50%' at step 4. CONTRADICTION 2 (is €25 a floor or a price?): /ugc-prijzen frames €25 as the minimum budget you may set, while /ugc4you-vs-speekly states flatly 'UGC4you toont prijzen publiek: €25 per video, €15 per foto', as though those were purchasable prices. The platform's own unauthenticated creator endpoint (https://ugc4you.nl/api/users/creators, all 35 pages read 2026-09-20) gives the ground truth: of 417 creators, 355 publish a base rate — median €69, most common value €25 (91 creators), upper quartile €125, maximum €1,000. CONTRADICTION 3 (typical price range): the /ugc-prijzen FAQ says brands typically pay '€75-€200 per video'; the /content-creator-inhuren FAQ says a UGC video costs 'tussen de €25 en €200'. Two different typical ranges for the same product on the same site. CONTRADICTION 4 (packages): /ugc-prijzen leads with 'GEEN PAKKETTEN, GEEN ABONNEMENTEN' while /content-creator-inhuren sells a 'Content Pakket vanaf €200' and says 'Pakketten starten vanaf €200 per maand'; the site's own nav item for the pricing page is labelled 'Prijzen & Pakketten'. CONTRADICTION 5 (commission): /over-ons tells brands they pay 'geen opslag, geen commissie op je eerste projecten', implying a brand-side commission applies on later projects, while terms art. 6.3 describes a flat 15% taken from the creator's payout on every assignment and no brand-side commission at all. CONTRADICTION 6 (usage rights): terms art. 7.2 grants the buyer the right to exploit the content 'voor alle doeleinden', but the /content-creator-inhuren FAQ says 'Voor aanvullende doeleinden (print, televisie) bespreek je dit vooraf met de creator'. Free to register and free to post an assignment; there is no trial because there is no subscription. No third-party pricing was used for this record — no listicle, review site, or competitor table.

Turnaround

The site gives four different figures. /content-creator-inhuren: '3-7 werkdagen' per UGC video (and '3-7 werkdagen gemiddelde levertijd' in its stat block). /ugc-doorlooptijd stat block: '5-7d gemiddelde doorlooptijd UGC4you opdracht (Bron: Platform data)', with a 48-72h rush option. That same page's hero and FAQ: 'Een standaard UGC-opdracht duurt 5 tot 10 werkdagen.' /ugc4you-vs-speekly comparison table: '1–2 weken'. Terms art. 4.5 gives the buyer 7 working days to approve or reject, after which content counts as approved.

Min. spend

No subscription and no minimum order ('Geen minimale bestelhoeveelheid', /over-ons); €25 is the lowest budget /ugc-prijzen says you can set on an assignment

Usage rights

Per the terms at /algemene-voorwaarden: art. 7.1 transfers all intellectual property in the content to the buyer 'volledig en onherroepelijk' once the assignment is paid in full, giving 100% ownership; art. 7.2 extends that to using, editing, reproducing, publishing, and exploiting the content 'voor alle doeleinden' with no further payment to the creator; art. 7.3 keeps the rights with the creator until full payment; art. 7.4 lets the creator still use the work in their own portfolio unless the buyer excluded that in writing in the brief. Note the /content-creator-inhuren FAQ qualifies this, saying print and television use should be agreed with the creator in advance.
