What does a single UGC video cost?

A single UGC video on the market typically sits in the low to mid three-figure range. The exact number depends on length, script, editing, and usage rights. For a concrete quote, briefly describe what you need.

Are packages cheaper than single videos?

Yes, as a rule. If you commission several videos at once, you pay less per video. That makes particular sense if you want to test different hooks or messages.

What is normally included in a UGC price?

It varies. Shoot, edit, and basic usage rights for paid advertising are common. Script, multiple hook variants, subtitles, and extended usage rights (e.g. unlimited duration or whitelisting) often come at an extra charge.

What Does UGC Cost? Price Ranges and Packages at a Glance

If you want to order UGC videos for your brand, price is an early question. Honest ranges, what drives the price, and what you get for your budget, without fantasy numbers.

A single UGC video on the market usually costs a low to mid three-figure amount, and packages are cheaper per video. There is no single number that fits everyone, though, because length, script, editing, and usage rights change the price significantly. Here I explain which factors determine the UGC price and what you can realistically expect for your budget.

Why UGC prices vary so much

UGC is not a standard product like a stock photo. What you get and what it costs depends on several factors that can differ a lot:

Number of videos: A single video is always more expensive per piece than a package.
Length and format: A 15-second clip is not the same as a 60-second video with storytelling.
Script and concept: Do you bring a briefing, or should the creator deliver the idea as well?
Editing and variants: Simply assembled, or with three different hooks for A/B testing?
Language: Videos in multiple languages (e.g. German and English) mean more work.
Usage rights: May the brand run the video indefinitely? For whitelisting on the creator’s account? That affects the price noticeably.

What UGC price ranges are realistic on the market

Single UGC videos on the market mostly sit in the low to mid three-figure range. If you produce regularly or commission a package, you pay less per video. Without concrete details on number, length, and rights, however, no serious fixed prices can be quoted.

UGC prices far below this range usually mean no editing, no concept work, and creators without advertising experience. UGC prices far above it are often agency overhead that you co-finance without any direct added value for the video itself.

Single UGC video or package: what makes sense when

Whether a single video or a package is the better choice depends on your goal.

A single UGC video makes sense if you want to test a specific product and don’t yet know which direction you want to take. You get a first feel for the process and the result.

A UGC package makes sense if you know you want to test: different hooks, different messages, maybe different target audiences. Paid ads on Meta or TikTok work better when you can compare variants. For that, you need more than one video.

What should be included in a UGC price

Not all UGC offers include the same things. When requesting quotes, always ask whether the following is included:

Script, or is it assumed you deliver one?
Editing and basic post-production
Usage rights for paid advertising (duration, channels)
How many revision rounds are planned?

What is often charged as an extra: multiple hook variants of the same video, subtitles, extended usage rights, and translations into other languages.

What to clarify before sending a UGC request

For a UGC request, a short description is enough: which product should be promoted, on which channels, and in which language. With that, any serious creator or agency can make a concrete offer, even if you are not yet sure exactly what you need.
