Brands pay exactly what's listed. Every deal protected until delivery.
When a deal closes, creators keep 85% after Stripe's processing fee.
The first 100 creators to join Sporeboard lock in a 10% platform fee for life — that's 5% less than the standard rate, forever. Plus a permanent 🍄 Founding Creator badge on your listing.
Simple, transparent, and fair for every creator type.
Find newsletters, YouTube channels, Instagram pages, and TikTok creators in your niche.
You pay upfront, but your money stays with Sporeboard until the creator delivers — the creator only gets paid after delivery is confirmed. Changed your mind? Either party can request cancellation. If the other side agrees, the brand is fully refunded.
You have 3–7 days after the creator submits proof to confirm or dispute (7 days for your first deal, 3 days for subsequent deals). After that window without a response, payment releases automatically. If the content wasn't delivered as agreed, file a dispute — auto-release is paused and Sporeboard reviews it.
