Questions, answered

No. The Free plan lets you build and preview an invoice, but sending one with a Stripe pay link starts on Starter at £99 a month. From Starter, your client pays by card and Stripe pays the money out to your own bank account.

You send an invoice with a Stripe pay link and the brand pays it by card. The money goes into your own Stripe account and out to your own bank. Herd never holds your money and takes no percentage of an invoice payment.

No. The platform fee on a brand-to-creator invoice payment is 0%. The only percentage Herd takes is 5% on a digital product sale, plus a small fee on membership payments. Stripe charges its own processing fee on top, as it would anywhere.

Yes, from Starter upwards. You connect your real Gmail or Outlook account and read, reply, compose and attach files inside Herd. It is your mailbox, not a copy, so replies land where they always have.

At herduk.co.uk/yourname, once you claim a username and publish it. The follower and engagement figures come from the social accounts you have connected, so the page is current without you re-exporting a PDF. Publishing is a deliberate step, so nothing goes public by accident.

Yes, along with Instagram and Facebook. Starter includes two connected accounts and Pro is unlimited. The Free plan has no social integrations, so publishing starts on Starter.

Yes. Contracts with e-signature are on Pro at £299 a month, along with proposals, expenses, digital products, memberships and the Payments page. Starter covers deals, invoices your clients pay by card through Stripe, the inbox, meetings, the media kit and the rate card.

Starter is £99 a month and gives you five active deals, invoices your clients pay by card through Stripe with payouts to your own bank, the Gmail or Outlook inbox, meetings, the media kit, the rate card and two social accounts. Pro is £299 and removes the limits, then adds contracts, proposals, expenses, digital products, memberships, the Payments page with your Stripe balance and payout history, the asset library and the tax and cashflow tabs.

Yes, two ways. Connect your own Google Drive and it costs nothing, because the files stay in an account you already own. Or add Herd-managed storage at £9 a month for 250 GB, £19 for 1 TB or £59 for 5 TB.

Yes. You trim, caption and grade in the browser, and the final file is rendered on the server so a long export does not tie up your machine. "Add to a Post" drops it straight into the composer. Free gives one watermarked export a month, Starter gives five without a watermark, and Pro is unlimited.

Not through a matching service, and we do not promise leads. Brands on Herd can search creators and send campaign invitations, and any inbound approach lands in your opportunities queue where you can accept it, decline it or turn it into a deal.

Yes, from Starter. Meetings run on Herd’s own servers with video, screen share and chat, and a brand contact joins from a link without needing an account. Gmail and Microsoft calendars sync in, so meetings booked elsewhere show up in the same list.

£1,999 a month, or £19,190 a year which is 20% less. There are no numeric quotas: unlimited creators, deals, campaigns and team members. Prices are in GBP with VAT added where applicable.

No. You can book a live demo with our team to see the Agency plan working before you pay, or sign up and subscribe straight away. Paid plans carry a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you subscribe.

You set a default commission rate for the agency, and each routed deal shows the deal value, your commission and the creator payout. When the brand pays a routed invoice, Stripe Connect transfers your commission out of that payment. The whole ledger exports to CSV including transfer status.

As many as you like. The Agency plan has no cap on creators, deals or campaigns, which is the main reason it is priced flat rather than per creator.

Yes. The Discover tab searches an external index of more than 300 million public profiles, and you reveal contact details on the profiles you actually want rather than exporting in bulk. Outreach goes from your own connected mailbox, so replies come back to you.

Not for you to manage their deals, contracts and invoices from the agency side. They do need an account if they want to run their own content, inbox, media kit and invoices, and if a brand wants to send them a proposal or contract directly.

A white-label page you give a client on a token link, with their name, their contact and your accent colour. You choose which campaigns it shows. The client needs no account, and you can label and revoke each link individually.

Yes. Raise the invoice from the deal it belongs to, the brand pays by card through a Stripe link, and your commission is split out of that payment instead of being chased afterwards.

Yes. Financial controls are separate from the general roles, so a manager can run deals without seeing or approving payouts. Team members are invited by email and every change is recorded in the activity log.

Yes. One campaign can cover multiple creators from your roster, with deliverables and deadlines tracked per creator. If the brand is on Herd, they see the same campaign from their side.

Through a brand CRM and connection requests, not a marketplace. You can send a connection request to a brand already on Herd, and they accept or decline in their own account. Brands that are not on Herd can be invited by email.

No, and we will not claim otherwise. What is real is scheduled publishing and automated reminders. There is no workflow engine that runs a sequence of actions for you.
