Pitchlo vs other UGC platforms
Every UGC marketplace charges somewhere: a monthly plan, a percentage of what you pay creators, or both. This page lays the published numbers side by side. Pitchlo is $69 a month flat with no fee on creator payments, which makes it the lowest-priced paid plan in the category. Several platforms are free to post, as is Pitchlo; the difference shows up when you want to contact creators.
