    The Billo alternative where you pick the creator

    Socialji is a free UGC and influencer marketplace: browse creator profiles and past work, agree price and scope directly, and pay through escrow when you approve the videos.

    Billo is a well-known UGC platform built around a brief-first workflow: you post a brief at a set per-video price (from $99 per video as of July 2026) and vetted creators apply to make it. That works for quick, standardized video — but you're choosing from whoever applies, at a fixed price, mostly from creators in a handful of countries. If you'd rather browse creators yourself, negotiate scope directly, and also run influencer posts from the same marketplace, here's how Socialji compares.

    What is Billo?

    Billo is a UGC video platform where brands submit a creative brief and vetted creators — largely in the US, Canada, UK and Australia — apply to film it, with pricing starting around $99 per video and no subscription required (as of July 2026).

    It focuses on content production for ads and social rather than influencer distribution, and layers data tools like script help and creative analytics on top.

    Why brands switch to Socialji

    • You choose the creator, not just the applicant poolBrowse real creator profiles, past work and listed gig packages before you commit — instead of waiting to see who applies to a brief.
    • Negotiate price and scope directlyCreators set their own rates and you agree deliverables, revisions and usage rights together — useful when your project doesn't fit a standard per-video price.
    • UGC and influencer posting in one placeWhen a video performs, you can book the same creator to post to their own audience — Billo's focus is the content side.
    • Escrow you controlFund the deal up front and release payment only when you approve the work — protection that applies to every deal, big or small.

    When Billo is still a good fit

    If you want high-volume, standardized UGC video at a predictable per-video price and prefer not to browse or negotiate at all, Billo's brief-first model and creative analytics tooling are genuinely convenient — especially for teams treating UGC purely as ad-creative supply.
