UGC ad agencies are too expensive for small DTC brands needing fewer than 10 assets per month, leaving founders to coordinate creators manually.
UGC agencies charge $600-$766 per asset and package services for high-volume clients (20+ assets/month), making them unaffordable for smaller brands. The alternative (sourcing creators directly, editing in CapCut) saves money but requires significant manual coordination and lacks the support of a platform.
