UGC Pocket vs a UGC agency.
For your UGC videos, you have several routes: work with an agency, or brief UGC Pocket and let our team run the campaign. Neither rules out the other. Here's an honest look at turnaround, price, flexibility and control so you can pick what fits.
TL;DR
A UGC agency runs your campaign end to end through a dedicated contact: handy if you want to delegate everything, but with lead times in weeks and a higher package. With UGC Pocket, you describe your product in free text: our team gets back to you with a commercial proposal and writes the campaign scripts, for one flat campaign package, from €2,000, set in the commercial proposal, with no subscription. Our team selects the creators, reviews every video and pays the creators. You can ask for changes through our team. Choose an agency for complex productions or in-depth advice; UGC Pocket for speed, simplicity and controlled cost. UGC Pocket is launching in 2026.

"±" = possible but varies by provider. Agency practices differ; this table describes a "classic" UGC agency.
Our team runs your campaign from start to finish, alongside your own agency if you have one.

Turnaround
With an agency, the classic cycle (scoping, quote, casting, production, back-and-forth) often takes several weeks. With UGC Pocket, things move quickly.
Price
An agency charges a package that includes its management and bills it in full. On UGC Pocket, you pay one flat campaign package (from €2,000), set in our commercial proposal, with no agency fees or subscription.
Flexibility
Test several angles, creators and formats: on UGC Pocket, our team brings in several creators within one flat package, with no commitment. With an agency, every adjustment goes back through the quote and the schedule.
Control
On UGC Pocket, our team selects the creators and reviews every video, and you can ask for changes through the team. With an agency, control goes through your contact.
When an agency is still the right choice.
UGC Pocket isn't for everything. An agency keeps real strengths.
Complex productions
Orchestrated multi-creator shoots, heavy scripting, strong technical constraints: an agency brings production resources that UGC Pocket can't replace.
Strategic advice
If you're looking for support on content strategy, positioning and media planning, an agency's human expertise has value.
Full delegation
Want a single contact who handles everything without you touching the operations? An agency does exactly that: and with UGC Pocket, our team runs the campaign for you too, so you can delegate either way.
From brief to posted videos.
You describe your product: our team writes the scripts, selects the creators and reviews every video.

Frequently asked questions.
What's the difference between UGC Pocket and a UGC agency?
An agency runs your campaign end to end through a dedicated contact, with quotes and lead times often in weeks. On UGC Pocket: one-sentence brief, a commercial proposal and campaign scripts written by our team, one flat campaign package from €2,000, no subscription.
Is it cheaper than a UGC agency?
You pay one flat campaign package, from €2,000, set in our commercial proposal, with no agency fees or subscription. An agency charges a higher package that includes its management and bills it in full; in return it provides human support.
How long before the first videos are published?
Quickly once the campaign is live, versus several weeks for a classic agency cycle (scoping, quote, casting, production).
Do you keep control over the result?
Yes. Our team selects the creators and reviews every video, and you can ask for changes through the team. Nothing is charged before you accept the commercial proposal.
Who owns the rights to the videos?
Creators film the videos and post them on their own TikTok and Instagram accounts. Usage rights for reusing a video (for example in paid social) are set out in the commercial proposal.
When is an agency the better choice?
For complex productions, in-depth strategic advice, or when you want to fully delegate to a single contact. UGC Pocket aims for speed, simplicity and controlled cost.
