Representative client-side demo using benchmark ranges by niche and tier. Your live card is generated from current market data when you publish.
Your card goes live at ratecardly.me/yourhandle. When a brand picks a package, the one-tap "Request this package" button collects a Stripe deposit on the spot — so the deal is booked before the call. Free to publish; upgrade to Close to keep 100% of every deposit.

Free forever to publish and take deposits (5% per-deposit fee). Close is $15/mo for 0% fees.
The rates question
A brand finally slides into your DMs. You freeze: undercharge and you resent it, overshoot and they ghost. So you stall, ask around, screenshot a Notes-app number that's three months stale — and by the time you reply, the moment's gone.
There's no public price list for sponsored posts. You pick a number, second-guess it, and either leave money on the table or scare the brand off — with nothing to anchor to.
By the time you've agonized over a media kit and a polite paragraph, the brand has booked someone who simply sent a clean number first. Speed closes; hesitation costs the gig.
Even when they agree, with no deposit it isn't real. Schedules slip, the brand goes quiet, and the shoot you planned around evaporates. RateCardly fixes all three: a benchmarked number, a sendable card, and a deposit that books the deal.
What you get
Everything points at one outcome: turning "what are your rates?" into a link that closes the deal and collects the deposit.
Pick your niche and follower tier and see the real range creators like you charge per sponsored post — so your number is anchored in the market, not a nervous guess at 1am.
Pre-filled packages — single post, story bundle, reel collab — laid out cleanly and editable in seconds. Send the link instead of typing a paragraph you'll second-guess.
A "Request this package" button on every card collects a deposit through Stripe the moment a brand picks a package — so the booking is real before the kickoff call.
A clean public link you drop in your bio or paste into any DM. Always current, always on-brand — your rates as a permanent, shareable URL.
Rename packages, add usage rights or whitelisting, set your own deposit percentage. The benchmark gets you started; the card is unmistakably yours.
See who viewed your card, which package they requested, and which deposits landed — so you know your link is working and where to nudge.
Benchmarks are market guidance by niche and tier, not a quote or a guarantee. You always set your own final rates, and brands always agree the price before any deposit is taken.
The mechanic
Scan free, publish free, take deposits free. Close — $15/mo — is the one upgrade that lets you keep every dollar of those deposits.
Two taps — how you create and how big your audience is. In about a minute RateCardly shows the benchmarked rate range creators like you actually charge.
Keep the pre-filled packages or tweak them, then publish to ratecardly.me/yourhandle. Drop the link in your bio or paste it the next time a brand asks for your rates.
A brand taps "Request this package" and pays a Stripe deposit on the spot. The booking is real. On Free you keep 95%; on Close you keep 100%.
