Stay away from this app!!!
Creators beware!! It’s very clear the company is preparing to shut down. They’ve completely TRIPLED the amount of deliverables you provide while decreasing the pay. To have one shoot be 40 clips, 10 photos, and also have consistent issues with getting paid - I would suggest creators look elsewhere.
Creators Beware
Really disappointing experience with CrowdTiff. You are not guaranteed to get paid, even after putting your own time and money into completing a job.
I drove 4 hours round trip, paid for my own gas and parking, and still had no guarantee of compensation. The app itself is also extremely glitchy and frustrating to use.
And honestly, it feels more like you’re being paid to be an actress than a content creator. The requirement list is extremely long and specific, with so many things you’re expected to say, film, and follow. It leaves very little room for creators to actually create authentic content in their own style.
If you’re going to require that much work, travel, and out-of-pocket expense from creators, payment should be guaranteed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend CrowdTiff to other creators.

Save yourself
I have done multiple assignments for them.
There are more cons than pros. I have been payed for the assignments I’ve done, but there’s a huge lack of transparency and clear communication, it makes the process frustrating.
If you’re a creator, try your best to just work with the tourism boards directly. Trust me on this!
Also they told me I couldn’t create content for a specific tourism board because they wanted to see “other creators” but when they specifically needed black history month content, they wanted me to do it. 🚩

Pros and cons but worth it
I see a lot of reviews having bad experiences, and I do see the validity in them. I am a full time creator so side quest opportunities like this are pretty cool. I have been able to take on jobs in my state, as well as another state and travel. I am not fond of the fact that you have to front the costs typically for whatever the assignment is, I think the payout should actually be what you take home. Sometimes they can be picky about the content pieces, but honestly if you make quality content, and abide by the guidelines they provide, or ask questions when it’s not clear, it’s a pretty smooth and super easy side-gig.

Creators! You deserve better
I agree with the other reviews… Creators deserve better.
This company is NOT creator-first. They care about the brands (tourism boards) way more than they care about the creators who even make their business possible.
For starters, whoever approves the creative briefs clearly doesn’t write them, which causes unnecessary confusion, delays, and reshoots (reshoots are unpaid BTW.) Everything is on your own dime. They compensate you like $50 extra if the shoot requires extra cash to complete but only AFTER you go out and shoot. If you care so much about the shoot going perfect, please at least review the creative brief before you send it to creators.
One of the biggest red flags 🚩 is that you are not protected, even if you follow the brief to a T but they don’t like your content. Then you’re just out of luck. Wasted time, and even wasted money buying food, gas, props, entrance fees, etc.
You’re left out of the loop and all the blame falls on you when things go sideways, even if it’s not your fault.
I’ve been embarrassed a few times when I show up to a shoot location and introduce myself and go over the shot list, only for the manager/owner/marketing manager to tell me “this is inaccurate” or “we don’t even have xyz here, who provided you with this brief..?”
It’s a mess. I can’t recommend it.
