Frequently asked questions
What does Alpha charge creators?+
Alpha charges Zero agency markup. A free plan is also available, so creators can build a storefront and media kit before committing. Rate cards and verified media kits sit in link in bio storefront, verified media kit and rate cards, so pricing for brands is handled inside the platform rather than through a separate agency invoice.
Does Alpha accept adult content?+
Adult content accepted is no at Alpha, so creators working in that category should look elsewhere. The creator tools it does list focus on mainstream social platforms and brand campaigns, including a link-in-bio storefront, media kit and rate card tools.
How do creators get paid on Alpha?+
Payouts run through mobile money and bank transfer, which suits a Tanzania based creator. Timing follows Automatic payout after content verification, so money is not released until the content has been verified. Campaign payments use escrow, as listed in Creator distribution network, Influencer marketing and Social media management.
Which platforms does Alpha work with?+
Alpha manages Instagram, TikTok and YouTube for creators and brands. Access itself runs on web and mobile, so the campaign tools are available on a phone as well as on desktop. Only these networks are listed as managed, so brands on other networks may not fit.
Who is Alpha based in and who operates it?+
Alpha is operated by Alpha Technologies Ltd. and registered in Tanzania. Its legal terms are published, which matters for brands signing campaign agreements or creators checking payout obligations. Payout rails and support are shaped by that base rather than by a global footprint.
How do I get help from Alpha?+
Support runs on email only. There is no phone number or live chat listed, so time sensitive campaign questions may wait on a reply. Brands running several campaigns at once should plan for that when they need urgent answers.
Does Alpha offer a free plan?+
Yes, Alpha offers a free plan. Creators can start with link in bio storefront, verified media kit and rate cards at no cost, which includes escrow payouts through mobile money and bank transfer. Paid upgrades, if any, are not described in the published material, so check current terms before budgeting.
What services does Alpha offer brands?+
Alpha lists Creator distribution network, Influencer marketing and Social media management. That covers strategy and management on one side, and creator-side monetization through storefronts and escrow on the other. Consumer intelligence is included, which helps brands compare campaign performance across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
