What Billo costs in November 2026
Browsing creators and building a brief costs nothing1. You pay only when you publish. A pack is a dollar amount you spend on any mix of videos and services2.
Billo dates its per-video prices to October 20262, and pack prices were checked November 5, 2026.
| Pack | You pay | Balance | Videos covered at $99 | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry pack | $1,000 | $1,000 | 10 | None1 |
| Professional | $2,500 | $2,800 | 28 | None1 |
| Refine | $5,000 | $5,700 | 57 | Packs from $5,000 come with a dedicated success manager1 |
| Grow | $10,000 | $10,000 + $1,500 bonus | 116 | Success manager; on Billo's G2 profile3 |
| Scale | $15,000 | $15,000 + $2,500 bonus | 176 | White labeling on Billo's G2 profile3 |
| Venture | $30,000 | $30,000 + $5,500 bonus | 358 | White labeling plus the largest bonus on Billo's G2 profile3 |
Grow, Scale and Venture are from Billo's G2 listing. G2 last updated it October 29, 20263.
What one Billo video costs
At the base price you get a 15-second video. The creator is a regular one with basic editing. The price goes up with video length (30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds), Premium creators, extra aspect ratios, more creators, and added services such as hooks, captions, expert editing or photos12.
Premium creators have delivered at least 14 Billo videos4. For harder briefs (a second person, a pet, cooking, on-location filming), Billo suggests an optional complexity bonus and the brand decides whether to pay it2.
The video price includes the creator's fee, basic editing, platform and transaction fees, and two revisions within the brief1. Billo says creators get the full amount shown for the job, so creator pay is included in the price and Billo's fee comes out of what brands pay2.
Billo doesn't publish its split. Octohog reports, from reviews, that creators net about $25 to $40 per video5. The basic video is raw footage with no captions, music or graphics2.
You also pay for your product and shipping, plus any approved creator expenses such as recipe ingredients16. Taxes are extra, and Billo may add a credit card surcharge7.
The full add-on price list lives only inside the platform, because each video's cost depends on the brief2. Any dollar figure for add-ons on other sites is an estimate. UGCGen puts a video at about $150 with add-ons, and it estimates the timeline at two to three weeks from brief to finished video8. The add-on menu covers captions, expert editing, hooks, photos, crops, organic posting, extra footage priced by the creator, and Partnership Ads or Spark Ads so your ads run from the creator's handle on Meta or TikTok12.
Take the $1,000 pack and order 10 base videos. That's $990 from your balance ($10 left), plus $250 if each of the 10 creators needs a $15 product plus $10 in shipping. Total about $1,240, or $124 per video, before taxes (E2).
How pack bonuses lower your cost per video
The bonus adds between 12% and 18.3% to your balance depending on pack size. It only helps if you spend the whole balance within 12 months, because unused funds expire1.
| Pack | Cost per $99 base video |
|---|---|
| Entry pack | $99.00 |
| Professional | $88.39 |
| Refine | $86.84 |
| Grow | $86.09 |
| Scale | $84.86 |
| Venture | $83.66 |
From the smallest pack to the largest, you save about $15 per video. Professional only beats the $1,000 pack if you expect to order well past the 10 videos it covers. For a few videos over that, two $1,000 packs ($2,000 for a $2,000 balance) cost less than one Professional pack ($2,500). Less money is at risk of expiring, too.
Expiry, refunds and the terms
Your balance is valid for 12 months from purchase, and unspent funds expire. The clock starts at purchase1. You can't cash out, move it to another account, or roll it over7.
If you buy the $1,000 pack and order 6 base videos ($594) in a year, the remaining $406 is gone. Each video effectively cost $166.67 (E3), because the cash you spent was the full $1,000.
Billo's documents give three different answers on refunds:
- The pricing page offers a refund of unused funds if no creator is found within 30 days of publishing the first brief1.
- The help center says the unused balance is fully refundable within 30 days of purchase. Past that point, it is refundable minus a 25% administration fee, and the refund covers only what you paid. Billo's own example: a $100 refund after 30 days returns $759.
- The Brand Terms say packs are non-refundable except in the limited cases of Section 6.9, decided at Billo's discretion. Whenever a pack refund is granted, a 25% administrative fee is deducted from the refundable amount7.
Take a Professional pack: you paid $2,500 and have a $2,800 balance. Spend $990 on 10 base videos and $1,810 remains. Billo doesn't say how the bonus is taken out of a partly spent balance; the $1,510 and $1,132.50 figures assume Billo deducts the full $300 bonus from the remaining balance before refunding.
Under the help center's version, you would get about $1,510 back inside the first 30 days, and about $1,132.50 later once the 25% comes off (E4). Under the Brand Terms, which are the controlling document, the 25% is deducted from any refund that is granted, and no 30 day exception is set. So about $1,132.50 is the figure to expect, and only if Billo approves the refund. If a task has no creator selected and no product shipped, it can only be refunded in the 30 days after creation, then it is voided9.
Usage rights on approved videos pass to your brand: once your brand pays and accepts the deliverables, the creator must irrevocably assign all IP rights in the approved videos to your brand. You may not use AI to change or generate a materially different version of a creator's voice or likeness unless the creator has given express, separate written consent to that specific use7.
CreativeOps and managed service: the monthly add-ons
Neither is required. CreativeOps, Billo's performance-data subscription, starts at $149 a month, has a free plan, and can be cancelled anytime1. The managed service starts at $2,000 a month plus video costs, is billed monthly in advance, and you can cancel after the first month2.
Octohog reported CreativeOps at $300 monthly for 3 months, then $500 monthly, in its July 9, 2026 review. Billo now lists it from $149 a month51.
Packs never renew, so there is nothing to cancel1.
First-year cost: the $1,000 pack plus CreativeOps is $1,000 plus $149 x 12, which comes to $2,788 (E6). A full year of managed service at its minimum is $24,000, with video costs on top2.

Billo price vs other ways to get creator videos
Prices below were checked November 5, 2026, and the pay models differ.
| Option | Pay model | Starting price | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billo | Prepaid pack, one-time | Pack from $1,000, videos from $991 | Brands buying edited UGC ad videos for their own ad accounts |
| Octohog | Flat subscription | From $249 a month, 7-day trial5 | Brands that want creators ranked and outreach run for them |
| KALO IQ | Flat subscription | $79, $199 or $399 a month10 | Finding influencers who post to their own audiences |
| UGCGen (AI UGC) | Flat subscription | From $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly8 | Testing hooks fast with no product to ship |
| Rateful | Per deal | Creator's package price plus about 5% booking protection, shown before paying | TikTok Shop brands booking creators who post on their own accounts |
Billo suits brands that want edited ad videos for ad accounts they control, prefer Billo handling creator payment, and are confident they will spend the full balance before it expires. Other tools fit better when you want one or two videos without a $1,000 minimum, or when creators should post to their own TikTok Shop audience.
For that second case, Rateful lets brands book a TikTok Shop creator's packages directly on the booking page rateful.ai/@handle. Rateful releases the creator's deposit before filming and holds the rest of the payment until the posts are live, and Sam sends the brand a written agreement (E5).
