Common questions

Is this a market rate?

No. It is a suggested starting point. Actual rates vary by creator, brand, audience, niche, performance, scope, and negotiation.

What if I do UGC instead of posting?

UGC is priced as flat content work rather than from audience size, with usage and exclusivity added on top.

Do I need follower or view data to use it?

Only an audience range. Average views and engagement rate are optional and simply sharpen the estimate.

Where does my own pricing history come from?

From deals you have already marked paid in Tango. Nothing is shared or compared outside your workspace.

Price the deal, then go win it.

The Rate Calculator is included in every Tango subscription, alongside pipelines, deliverables, invoices, and Tia, your AI business partner.
