Short answer
Clip (Clip Hub Limited, UK) is a UGC marketplace at useclip.com: you sign up free with a 30-second intro video and Clip approves about 7% of applicants by hand. Its pages put pay at $20 to $100 or $25 to $250 per video, paid by PayPal after approval, and you keep physical products. Brands get a perpetual license, a rejected video earns nothing, and late delivery pauses your account.

What gets you into Clip's 7%?
A 30-second intro video, reviewed by hand. Sign-up on Clip's web app takes under three minutes, by its creator page; there's no follower count and no need to be an influencer, only a smartphone and editing skills. You must be 18 or older (terms, last updated September 15, 2026). Clip names its markets (the US, the UK and Australia) but no rule on where creators live.
Clip doesn't say what reviewers look for. Since the intro is all they see, treat it like a sample: say who you are and what you film, on camera, in good light, in one tight take. A teleprompter keeps it under 30 seconds. Clip isn't the iPhone app "ClipUGC", an AI video maker by another company.
What are Clip's deadlines, and what happens if you miss one?
| Step | What Clip says |
|---|---|
| Applying | No limit on how many campaigns you apply to; pay is shown first |
| Delivery | 7 calendar days from when the product arrives (or from approval, for digital products) |
| Revisions | Most campaigns include one, also due within 7 days; edits come from your original footage |
| Add-ons | Subtitles or extra formats are paid extras you can decline |
| Brand review | 7 days; approved automatically on day 8 unless the campaign is manual-approval only |
| Late delivery | Your account is paused until you deliver; the terms let Clip suspend or remove access |
What does Clip pay, and what if a brand rejects the video?
Clip's pages give three answers on pay: $20 to $100 per video on the creator page, $25 to $250 in the creator FAQ, and "Creators set their own rates" on the home page. Each campaign shows its pay before you apply. Brands pay $124 (15 to 20 seconds), $159 (20 to 40) or $199 (40 to 60) per video with creator pay included, plus $59 for a premium video (pricing); Clip doesn't publish its share.
The payout window differs by page as well: within 5 to 7 business days of approval (home page), 7 to 14 business days (FAQ), and within 30 days (terms). Payment is by PayPal, in pounds, US dollars or Australian dollars.
Who owns a Clip video?
You do. Brands get a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive license to approved videos for paid, social, web, email and offline use, and can edit them and sub-license them to media-buying agencies. Clip's own license is worded broadly ("the Content (including any part of it)"), while its marketing rights refer to approved content and unapproved versions are supplied for the brand to review; ask Clip before you assume a rejected video stays private. You waive moral rights, and may use the work in your portfolio and on your own social accounts.
Physical products are yours to keep with no return. For 12 months you can't work with a Clip brand outside Clip; a brand that wants to usually pays Clip a one-off introduction fee. English law applies, with mediation first.
What do Clip creators say about it?
Clip's unclaimed Trustpilot page scores 3.9 from 66 reviews (76% five stars, 17% one star). On Reviews.io, which Clip links to itself, it scores 4.6 from 309.
We read the first page of each on October 14, 2026. On Trustpilot, 8 of 23 reviews were from creators; 5 of those are five-star posts from June 6 and 7, 2025, which looks like a batch Clip asked for. The two negative creator reviews from 2026 call the jobs very low paying (April) and the application process unclear about who brands want (June). On Reviews.io about 12 of 23 were from creators: several say payments always come through and briefs are clear, and one says the pay to the creator is too low.
Is Clip a good platform for you?
If you can deliver within a week and want every rule in writing, it's one of the better-documented platforms we checked. Apply with your strongest intro: with a 7% approval rate, it isn't an easy first platform, and the per-video pay is modest.
In its favour
- Free to join, no followers, and the pay is shown before you apply.
- You keep physical products, with no returns.
- Clear written clocks: 7-day delivery, 7-day brand review, auto-approval on day 8.
- Revisions limited to your original footage; add-ons are paid and optional.
Against it
- About 7% of applicants are approved.
- Three pay ranges and three payout windows across its own pages.
- No fee at all if a brand rejects the work, and its decision is final.
- A perpetual license to brands, and a broadly worded one to Clip.
- PayPal only, web app only.
If Clip turns you down
- Twirl review: another UK platform, with pay published at $90 to $300+ per project.
- Billo review: fixed pay per task and weekly Stripe payouts in the US, UK and Canada.
- Backstage UGC review: a 6-month paid-ads license instead of a perpetual one, behind a subscription.
What we couldn't check
- How many campaigns are open, and what most of them pay.
- Which of the three payout windows creators actually see.
- Whether Clip uses unapproved videos in its own marketing.
