The problem

There’s more to a deal than the price. The rest is in the terms.

  • Rights priced at zero

    A $500 reel can grant worldwide paid-media rights forever, and nothing in the contract says so.

  • Conflicts you can’t see

    An inbox can’t compare two contracts, so a category overlap stays invisible until a brand’s legal team finds it.

  • Deadlines with no owner

    Posting windows, Net-90 hiding as Net-30, exclusivity that lifts without telling you. Miss one and it’s money or a relationship.

  • One cause:

    you can’t hold every term in your head. Crubo can.

The rate engine

Eight things decide what a deal is worth. Reach is one of them.

Most rate advice stops at follower count, which is why most creators underprice the parts that actually cost them. Every factor below is a real term in the engine, with the real number attached.

  1. Platform and format

    A Reel, a Story set, a TikTok and a YouTube integration have four different base rates. The engine starts from the one you are actually being asked for.

  2. Your reach

    Bigger audiences move the number up — but reach is one input, not the whole story.

  3. Your niche

    Some audiences convert better for brands than others, and your rate should reflect that. Crubo factors your niche into the number instead of treating every creator the same.

  4. Your credentials

    If you’re qualified to say it, the endorsement’s worth more — a doctor, a lawyer, a registered dietitian. Crubo prices that in.

  5. The rights they want

    Organic use, paid media, whitelisting — each one’s a separate grant, and each adds to the number. They’re line items, not freebies.

  6. How long they hold them

    The longer a brand keeps the rights, the more it’s worth — and “perpetual” means forever, so it’s priced like it. Crubo scales the number to the term.

  7. The exclusivity window

    Locking you out of a whole category has a real cost — the longer the window, the higher it climbs. It’s the line creators most often give away for free, and the one Crubo makes sure you charge for.

  8. What you have actually been paid

    Every deal you’ve done builds your baseline, so your rate reflects what you’ve actually been paid — not a guess.

Crubo’s Take

Perpetual rights for a flat fee is the thing to fix here. Push for a 12-month cap and price the paid media on its own — that’s worth more than a bump on the rate.

Informational, not legal advice.

Then read the contract

Negotiate the terms like you negotiated the rate

That same offer, read properly. Every term sorted into commercial, rights, control, risk and restrictive — each one citing the line it came from, and priced against what you just worked out it should be worth.

  • Perpetual worldwide usage, at a one-post fee
  • Ninety days of paid media, itemized separately
  • A category lockout wider than the product

What Crubo does

Read it. Track it. Defend it.

Three jobs, in the order a deal actually happens.

Read

Every clause, in your language

Paste a DM, forward the email, or drop the PDF. Crubo breaks it into five categories — commercial, rights, control, risk, restrictive — and points to the line each term came from. Not a summary. A structured record you can argue with.

Track

Dates that place themselves

Mark a deal active and the dates land on a calendar: content due, posting window, payment terms, exclusivity end, rights expiry. Export the .ics once and it lives in the calendar you already check.

Defend

Checked against everything you signed

Each new offer runs against your whole deal history. Category overlaps and rights collisions surface while you are still deciding — which is the one moment the information is worth anything.

Inside the product

Everything your deals need, in one place.

Every deal you add makes the next one easier to figure out. That’s the thing a chat can’t do.

01

Pricing

A price with a reason behind it.

Tell Crubo about a deal and get a fair range — based on the work, the usage, and your profile. Full transparency on how the number’s built, so you can back it up when you reply.

Review

Crubo gives you a quick read — solid, or worth pushing back on — and points to the terms worth negotiating.

Crubo’s Take

Two things here would cost you later. Both are worth pushing back on before you sign.

03

Overlaps

Catch the overlap before you sign.

Said yes to something exclusive with a snack brand back in March? Crubo flags it before you agree to a similar deal now — even when the two contracts word it differently.

Invoices

The invoice writes itself.

Mark a deal done and Crubo builds the invoice from it — brand, deliverables and amount already filled in. Every payment lands in one revenue view, so you can see what actually pays.

Leads

Never let the pipeline go empty.

Crubo watches your own deals for rights about to lapse, spots partners worth circling back to, and looks outward for brands in your niche you haven’t worked with yet — then pulls them into one shortlist of who to reach out to next, with the opening note drafted.

A $500 deal can sign away another $500 in usage rights — and you’d only find out when it runs as an ad a year later. That’s the gap Crubo was built to close.

How it works

Three steps, starting with whatever you’ve already got.

There is no import, no integration to configure, and no spreadsheet template to fill in first.

  1. 01

    Send it over

    Paste the DM, forward the email to your Crubo address, upload the PDF, or type it in by hand. Screenshots and scans work too.

  2. 02

    Read Crubo’s Take

    Every clause extracted and sourced, priced through a creator lens, checked against every deal you have already signed.

  3. 03

    Counter, sign, get paid

    Send the counter in your own words. Mark it signed and the calendar, the rights ledger and the invoice build themselves.

Straight answers

Questions worth asking first

Crubo is an informational tool, not legal advice. It helps you understand your deals, but you should always run important decisions past a lawyer.

Only when you approve it. Crubo drafts replies and counters for you to review, and nothing is sent until you approve that exact message. It never sends anything on its own.

That’s fine. Drop in a screenshot or a photo and Crubo pulls the text right out of it.

Yes. Your contracts are encrypted, and we never sell or share them. You stay in control — export or delete everything whenever you want.

Nope. The free plan doesn’t need one. Add a card only if you decide to upgrade.
