Scouty vs UGC Tank
Scouty and UGC Tank both help tech brands find UGC creators, at very different depths. UGC Tank is sourcing only: you post a campaign for a $299 listing fee, vetted creators apply, and you agree rates, pay them and manage the work yourself. Scouty is a services company: our team recruits, briefs, pays and manages creators for you.

Sourcing only, or the whole job
UGC Tank is clear about its scope: it brings you vetted applicants and lets you message them, and you agree rates, pay creators and manage briefs, contracts and deliverables yourself. For a brand with someone in house to run creators, that is a fast and inexpensive way to fill a program.
Scouty's team does the whole job: it recruits and vets the creators, briefs them, pays them, reviews every video before it ships and keeps them on schedule.
What the fee covers
UGC Tank's $299 listing covers up to 50 applicants or 30 days, and creator pay is separate, paid by you directly at the rates you agree. With Scouty you pay Scouty for the service, and the team pays every creator on your behalf. Scouty publishes no prices: a program is scoped on a call.
The same buyer, a different workload
Both serve tech brands that want creators posting from dedicated accounts. UGC Tank also offers a full-service Influencer Campaigns option by application, for influencer work with larger followings. Scouty runs creator programs end to end and measures them on conversions, CAC and ROAS.

When UGC Tank is the better choice
- You have someone in house to screen applicants, agree rates, pay creators and manage briefs and contracts.
- You want a flat, published listing fee with no commission on creator pay.
- You want vetted applicants quickly, with a full refund if fewer than 10 apply in the first 7 days.
- You are an agency posting campaigns for several clients.
When Scouty is the better choice
- You want a team to recruit, brief, pay and manage creators, not a list of applicants.
- You do not want to run creator contracts, payments and deliverables yourself.
- You want every video reviewed before it ships.
- You want results measured on conversions, CAC and ROAS.
What Scouty does not do
A fair comparison says this plainly.
- Scouty sells no software: there is nothing to log in to and run yourself. The team does the work.
- Scouty does not sell single videos by the piece. It builds and runs creator programs.
- Scouty publishes no price list. A program is scoped on a call, so there is no Scouty figure to set beside a vendor's here.
