Match vs Taggbox

Match is a web platform for finding user-generated content creators and managing campaigns. Users can browse creator profiles and portfolios, with filters for location, age, niche, and tags. Match describes both a network of more than 300 vetted creators and a marketplace with thousands of verified creators. Campaign tools include multiple client profiles, unlimited creative briefs, role-based access for multiple admins, creator messaging, approvals, and project tracking. Managers can bring their own creators into the platform and keep them exclusive to their account. Clients can participate in project threads or review content through approval links, including previews that do not require sign-in. Marketplace project funds are held in escrow until content is approved; Match says creators are then paid through the platform and a 9.95% commission is deducted from their payout. Private creator projects cost $4.95, with no creator commission. The platform also includes contract management, usage-rights support, and product gifting projects. It offers a free marketplace-project plan and is aimed at creators and managers, including freelancers, growing brands, and global agencies.
