The enemy
The problem was never making a rate card.
A brand slides into your DMs: “Heyy! Love your content — what are your rates?” And the timer starts. You stall, half-build a price list, second-guess it, undershoot it — and three days later they “went a different direction.”
A PDF takes ten minutes. The real problem is replying fast with a price that closes — and getting money down before the back-and-forth eats the deal.
- Lowball
Guessing your rate
No idea if $200 is a steal or a stretch for your tier — so you lowball to feel safe.
- Restart
Negotiating in DMs
Every deal restarts from zero. The brand sets the anchor, not you.
- Ghosted
Starting unpaid
No deposit, no commitment. They can walk any time — and they do.
From DM to deposit
Three steps. Sixty seconds. Then the money moves.

The questions every creator asks first.
Where do your benchmark rates come from — is this just a made-up number?
No. The scan reads a benchmarked creator-rate dataset organized by niche × follower tier, refreshed on a schedule. You're seeing the range creators like you actually charge — not a guess, not a generic 'it depends.' It's a real anchor you can hold in a negotiation.
How is the 5% fee calculated — and is there any other charge?
On the Free Card plan, the 5% is taken only on the deposit amount a brand actually pays you, at the moment the deposit succeeds — nothing else. Take a $200 deposit, we take $10, you keep $190. No monthly fee, no per-card fee, no charge when no money moves. Standard Stripe processing fees apply separately. Upgrade to Close ($15/mo) and the 5% drops to 0% — you keep 100% of every deposit.
Do I have to pay anything to publish or to see my rate?
No. The benchmark scan, the pre-filled card, publishing to ratecardly.me/handle, and taking real deposits are all free. The only money we make on free is the 5% per deposit. You'll never hit a wall to see your number.
How is this different from a Linktree, a Notion page, or a rate-card PDF?
Those display a price. RateCardly closes — it captures the brief and takes a Stripe deposit in the same tap, so the deal is committed before the back-and-forth. A PDF can't book the job or stop a no-show. A link with a deposit button can.
Is taking deposits safe for me and the brand?
Deposits run through Stripe — the same checkout brands already trust. Money goes to your connected account; we never hold your funds. The brand gets a clean Stripe receipt; you get 'Deposit received — the job's booked' and the brief in your inbox. (RateCardly is not financial or tax advice — it's a tool for quoting and collecting deposits.)
Can I change my packages and prices after I publish?
Anytime. Edit a package, add a new one, retire one — your link stays the same, the card updates live. The benchmark is a starting point; the prices are yours to set. Charge above the range if your work earns it.
You already know the DM is coming.
