See the full production cycle
The cheapest clip is not always the cheapest creative.
A useful estimate connects the footage you paid for to the finished variants your team actually produced.
Count every production input
Creator fees are only one line. Editing, revisions, and internal coordination can change the real subtotal quickly.
Separate value from added cost
Unused-footage value is part of creator spend, so the calculator highlights it without adding it to the total twice.
Look at the reusable library
Paid source footage that has not reached a finished variant may still support another hook, demo, or testing batch.
Common questions
App UGC cost calculator FAQ
What does the app UGC cost estimate include?
It includes the creator fees, editing time, revision cost, and internal team time you enter. It also shows cost per raw clip, cost per finished variant, and the creator spend tied to your estimated unused footage.
Does the calculator use creator-rate benchmarks?
No. Every dollar amount comes from your inputs. The tool does not guess a market rate, recommend what to pay, or promise savings.
Is unused-footage cost added twice?
No. Unused-footage cost is a portion of creator spend shown for context. It is not added again to the production total.
What costs are not included?
The estimate leaves out ad spend, usage or licensing fees, reshoots, taxes, software, and any other cost you do not enter. Treat the result as a production subtotal, not a full campaign budget.
