Onlure Team•January 8, 2026•4 min read

Onlure is the only commission-free creator marketplace where you keep 100% of your earnings, get free aggregate analytics across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and connect with local businesses directly — no agencies, no follower minimums, no hidden fees. Sign up in under 2 minutes and start receiving brand deals today.

As a creator, you deserve a platform that puts YOU first—not one that treats you as inventory for brands to pick through.

Onlure is different. Here are the reasons why thousands of creators are making the switch.

Can brands see my Onlure profile for free?

Creator First

Your voice. Your content. Your platform.

At Onlure, creators are not an afterthought—you're the foundation of everything we build. We don't dictate what content you should make or who you should work with. You maintain full creative control over your brand and partnerships.

Unlike other platforms that prioritize advertisers, we designed Onlure from the ground up with creators in mind. Every feature, every policy, every decision starts with one question: "Does this help creators succeed?"

Does Onlure take a commission from creators?

Keep Your Earnings

No platform cuts. No hidden fees. Every dollar you negotiate is yours.

Most influencer platforms take 20-30% of your earnings as "platform fees" or "service charges." That means if you negotiate a $1,000 deal, you only see $700-800.

At Onlure, you keep 100% of your negotiated rate. When a brand pays you $1,000, you receive $1,000. Period. We believe creators deserve to be paid fairly for their work without a middleman taking a cut.

3. Chat With Brands In-Platform—No Hidden Fees

In-Platform Chat

Direct communication. Transparent negotiations. Zero commission on deals.

Our in-app messaging lets you communicate directly with brands without jumping to email or other platforms. Negotiate rates, discuss deliverables, and finalize campaigns—all in one place.

And here's the key difference: we don't take a cut of deals made through our chat. Other platforms charge fees every time you close a deal on their messaging system. We don't believe in taxing your relationships.

Do I need a minimum follower count to join Onlure?

Open Platform

No gatekeeping. No follower minimums. No approval committees.

Most influencer platforms require:

  • Minimum 10K+ followers to apply
  • Manual approval processes that take weeks
  • Verified account status
  • Minimum engagement rate thresholds
  • Onlure has zero requirements to join. Whether you have 500 followers or 500,000, you can sign up and start connecting with brands today. We believe influence is about engagement and authenticity, not arbitrary follower counts.

    Your micro-community that trusts your recommendations is worth more than a million passive followers who never engage.

    Does Onlure offer free analytics for creators?

    Analytics Dashboard

    Instagram, TikTok, YouTube—all your stats in one dashboard. For free.

    Tired of switching between apps to check your performance? Onlure aggregates your analytics from all major social platforms into one beautiful, easy-to-read dashboard.

    Track your:

  • Follower growth across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
  • Engagement rates by platform and content type
  • Best performing content to understand what resonates
  • Audience demographics to pitch brands effectively
  • Campaign performance to prove your ROI
  • Get insights on the best times to post from your socials. Most analytics tools charge $20-50/month for this. On Onlure, it's completely free. Because you shouldn't have to pay to understand your own audience.

    6. Get Featured on the Homepage — Link Your Interac or Stripe

    We want creator partnerships to be effortless.

    That's why Onlure now supports both Interac e-Transfer and Stripe—so you can get paid however works best for you. No complicated payment setups, no waiting weeks for payouts.

    Simply link your Interac or Stripe account in your dashboard, and you'll automatically be featured in the "Onlure Featured" section on the homepage. That means more visibility, more bookings, and more brands discovering your profile.

    We believe the booking process should be as easy as sending a text. By supporting Canada's most popular payment methods alongside Stripe, we're removing every barrier between you and your next brand deal.

    Pro tip: Fill out your complete profile to earn more points for your Onlure creator profile. The more complete your profile—bio, portfolio, social links, rates, and payment info—the higher you'll rank in search results and the more likely brands are to book you.
