Escrow Guide

Why Every Influencer Deal Needs Escrow

How milestone-based escrow protects both brands and creators. Our pricing engine uses real CPM data by country and platform, while risk is calculated from deal structure — not geography.

Data-driven pricing, structural risk

Our expected price is calculated using real CPM data by country tier, platform multipliers, engagement rates, and deliverable type. For example, a 200K Instagram creator in the US markets at ~$4,000 for a post, while the same creator in India markets at ~$700. Risk is then calculated from deal structure factors — not geography or creator size.

How risk factors work

No written contract — The single biggest risk factor (+25 points). Operating without a written agreement exposes both parties.

First deal with creator — No trust history means higher uncertainty (+15). Escrow and milestones are essential for new partnerships.

Overpaying vs underpaying — Deals significantly above or below market rate carry extra risk. Above 2x expected = +15, below 0.3x = +12.

Deal amount at stake — Larger deals ($10K+) have more absolute money at risk, warranting more protection milestones.

Campaign duration — Longer campaigns (>60 days) increase complexity and the chance of scope creep or disputes.

Low engagement — Creators with <1% engagement may have inflated follower counts, adding risk to the deal.
