In their own words
Catch+Release
Catch+Release is a web platform for brands and agencies to find, organize and license authentic internet content and material from its Creator Marketplace. AI search accepts normal-language descriptions and filters can refine results. Teams can collect content from multiple sources in Projects, collaborate and begin clearance for selected items. Storyboards organize visuals into scenes with production notes and rip-reel downloads at no cost. Content Genie analyzes text briefs and provides up to 50 licensable shots per topic, usually in about an hour; it does not yet analyze images or links in briefs. The Creator Community can import content from Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, with an Instagram Professional account required. Licensing options depend on usage, duration, geography and exclusivity, with costs calculated automatically. Platform access is free for search, projects and collaboration; there is no subscription fee, but content licensing is paid. The Partner library royalty-free license starts at $975 as a one-time purchase. Shot clearance is listed at $0–$250 per shot, while content license prices vary.
