Built for the creator doing the pitching
The media kit page is written for creators pitching brands, with followers, engagement, past work and rates. It's useful, but a brand reading it still has to negotiate each deal on its own.
Alternatives / Beacons
A Media Kit Starts the Conversation. A Per-View Rate Skips the Haggling.
Beacons gives creators a link in bio, store and media kit, with 9% fees on lower plans. Rovalty lets a brand publish one rate per 1,000 verified views.
| Rovalty | Beacons | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | 0% commission | 9% on Free and Creator, 0% from $30 a month |
| Pays on | Each 1,000 verified views | Store sales, plus deals you negotiate |
| Tracking | Official TikTok, Instagram and YouTube APIs | Media kit stats that update on their own |
| Branding | yourbrand.rovalty.com free, your own domain on paid plans | Your Beacons page and media kit |
| Pricing | Free, then $29, $79 and $199 a month | Free, then $10, $30 and $100 a month |
The Short Answer
Rovalty fits brands that want one published rate per 1,000 verified views instead of pricing deals one by one. Beacons is the better pick for creators who need a link in bio, store, email and media kit, none of which Rovalty offers. Creators can use Beacons and still join Rovalty campaigns.
Our pick, for brands paying creators per view. Written by Rovalty and last checked .Beacons From the Brand's Chair: Good for Pitches, Thin on a Known Cost Per View
Beacons is an all-in-one creator tool: link in bio, store, email and a media kit for pitching brands. It sits closer to brand work than most stores, but from the creator's side. A brand can run a Rovalty campaign instead of pricing each deal. A creator can keep Beacons and add view campaign income.
Deals are priced per piece
The rate examples on the media kit page are per deal, such as $4,000 for an Instagram post. We found nothing on that page about paying per view, so the reach you get for that price isn't fixed in advance.
9% until you pay for a higher plan
Free and Creator plans list a 9% fee on sales. It falls to 0% on Creator Plus at $30 a month. That's plain and well published, but it's a cost on selling, and it does nothing for promotion.
Rovalty as the #1 Beacons Alternative for Per-View Campaigns, and Only for That
One rate for every creator who joins
You publish a rate per 1,000 views with minimum views and a per-video cap, and may set follower minimums. There's no rate card to read and no price to agree per creator.
Counted views, rather than a kit's stats
A media kit shows what a creator has done before. Rovalty reads what this video actually got through official TikTok, Instagram and YouTube APIs, hourly for 48 hours and then daily.
No store, no email, no link in bio
Be clear on what's missing. Rovalty has none of Beacons' selling or email tools, and no affiliate links. If you depend on those, keep them. Rovalty is only the campaign part.

Rovalty's plan is set by tracked views, not sales. Growth is shown as an example.

Three Moves to Run a Posted Rate Without Giving Up Beacons
Launch the portal in under 5 minutes
The site says a first campaign can be set up in under five minutes. That covers your page and campaign terms. It doesn't cover creators arriving, which takes outreach.
Invite creators by hand
There is no import. Send your new page to creators whose media kits you liked. Their Beacons pages, stores and deals stay where they are.
Pay what the statement shows
Statements close on Mondays and you have 7 days to pay creators directly. Amounts under $25 roll over. Record your payment reference in Rovalty.
When Beacons Is the Better Pick
Stay on Beacons if you're a creator using its link in bio, store, email or media kit. Rovalty has none of them and isn't trying to. Beacons also fits if you want to negotiate larger one-off sponsorships. Rovalty fits when a brand wants a posted per-view rate many creators can join.
