What people say
Less admin. More videos that work.
“Friendzone made our UGC better at Rezi. Creators know what to post, we can see which videos work, and paying everyone at the end of the month takes minutes, not days.”

CEO, Rezi
Briefs went out in ten minutes.
No more spreadsheets for views.

Questions
Friendzone and Fastlane.
If yours is not here, write to us and a person will reply.
Is Fastlane a creator platform?
Not in the same sense. Fastlane makes content with AI characters and licensed clips. It does not list briefs, creator contracts or creator payouts as features.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams use AI tools for ad variations and a creator program for organic reach. Friendzone handles the creator side.
How do the prices compare?
Fastlane's plans start at $29 a month and go by credits. Friendzone starts at $199 a month and goes by the number of creators. With Friendzone you also pay your creators what they earn.
Does Friendzone make videos?
No. Your creators make them. Friendzone gives them briefs, counts the views and works out what each video is owed.
What is Friendzone?
A dashboard for running your own UGC creator program. You publish briefs, your creators post on their own accounts, and Friendzone counts the views and works out what each video is owed.
Does Friendzone find creators for me?
No. Friendzone is not a marketplace. You invite the creators you want, or open spots they can apply for, and manage them all from one dashboard.
How are creators paid?
Earnings add up through the month from the rates in each contract. You pay your creators monthly, by PayPal or Wise, with every video listed.
What if a creator posts the same video on several platforms?
The video is paid once, for the platform where it did best.
Do creators have to follow a brief?
No. Briefs are ideas, not assignments. A creator can use one as it is, remix it or post their own take, and every post pays the same.
