I absolutely love working with Billo! 💜 The platform makes it so easy to find exciting brand opportunities, understand exactly what each campaign needs, and submit high-quality content.

The WORST UGC app on the market!
They take 70% of the pay and they are not upfront about it! Most apps take anywhere from 10-20%. 0/10 would not recommend
Takes work and time
This is a legitimate app with which to make some extra money. It has taken me a long time for it to be a good bit, but you really can build something with it. Support is amazing and the whole process of getting a job, through turning it in is quite seamless. If you’re reliable, you’ll do well. Only thing is, it seems like there arent many protections for creators, like if a brand acts in bad faith, whereas it’s all set up to protect brands from unreliable creators. Which probably does happen more often, anyway.

Great beginning UGC app
I’ve really enjoyed using Billo as a beginner UGC creator! The app is super organized and easy to navigate, which makes finding and applying for opportunities so simple. It’s been a great way to connect with brands, build my portfolio, gain confidence, and actually get paid for creating content. Their support has been awesome to work with as well. I definitely recommend Billo if you’re just getting started with UGC!

Rigid Standards and Condescending Customer Service
I’m an experienced content creator who has worked with multiple brands, and after this experience I’ve decided to delete my Billo account.
I’ve gone through Billo’s pitch review process before. In 2024, when there were things wrong with my submission, their customer service simply told me what was missing and what I needed to correct. I had no issue with that. Constructive feedback is part of being a creator.
This experience was completely different.
The current approval process feels excessively rigid for an unpaid profile pitch. I received criticism over minor background noise, was advised to consider an external microphone and noise-removal tools, and was criticized for not maintaining enough direct eye contact with the lens. I intentionally speak conversationally on camera because that’s how I create natural UGC. Looking around naturally while speaking is not the same thing as reading from a script.
What ultimately pushed me to leave, however, was the way customer service communicated with me.
Rather than simply saying, “These are Billo’s current standards and these are the changes required for approval,” I felt like I was being spoken to like a five-year-old. At one point I was told “I’m trying to help you,” while I was questioning the feedback.
That kind of language felt patronizing and unnecessary. I’m an adult and an experienced creator. I wasn’t refusing to understand their requirements or asking to be taught how to make content. I was questioning whether their criticism was reasonable.
You can enforce your platform’s standards without talking down to creators.
Billo is free to have whatever approval requirements it wants, and I’m equally free to decide that the amount of micromanagement required before I can even apply for paid work isn’t worth my time.
I’ve chosen the latter and deleted my account.
