Frequently asked questions
What does Credo charge?+
Credo runs on a revenue share, so you pay a cut of the money your marketing earns rather than a fixed monthly fee. The model is revenue share. Across the site, listed starting prices sit at a median of €21.92, but that figure comes from other platforms, not from this one.
Is there a free tier?+
There is no free plan on offer, because the only billing model is revenue share. You pay only once the arrangement produces revenue. Free plans are common elsewhere on the site, at 86.3% of listings, which makes Credo an outlier in that respect.
What kind of agencies does Credo match me with?+
Credo matches and vets agencies across Digital marketing agency matching, Marketing agency vetting and certification and Web development agency matching. The scope covers paid media, SEO and web development work rather than creator management or chat-based back office work. Compare social media analysis and audit, social media management and influencer marketing agency if social monetisation is the priority.
Do the agencies pass a check before I work with them?+
Vetting and certification are part of the service, listed under Digital marketing agency matching, Marketing agency vetting and certification and Web development agency matching as marketing agency vetting and certification. That screening happens before a match rather than after a contract. You still run your own commercial checks on the shortlist.
How do I get hold of Credo?+
You can reach the company through email, phone and help centre. Phone and email cover most questions, and a help centre handles common ones. There is no in-platform chat for agencies, unlike the messaging tools in creator CRM for agencies, messaging and chat tools and AI chat assistant.
Where is Credo based and who runs it?+
The company is headquartered in the US and operates as HireGun LLC. It has been running since 2013. That legal entity is the counterparty on your agreement, so check it before signing.
Does Credo hold a licence?+
Credo vets and matches agencies rather than moving money, and its terms name no regulator or licence. Licensed listings across the wider comparison stand at 0. Check the terms of the agency you are matched with, since that party signs your contract.
Can I use it if I need chat and DMCA help?+
No. Chat, DMCA and copyright takedown sit outside Digital marketing agency matching, Marketing agency vetting and certification and Web development agency matching, so that work needs another provider. For a creator back office, OnlyFans management, chatting services and traffic and promotion services is the closer fit, covering tax filing and global payments.
