You set the price. Creators keep 80%.
Transformer has no subscription, no seats and no minimums. Brands pay per offer, and only for posts that are verified on X. The platform keeps 20% of each payout and of any sales commission; the creator gets the other 80%.

How a payout works
- 01
Send an offer
The brand picks a suggested creator, sets the price and what to post about, and sends it. Sending is free.
- 02
Pay when they accept
The brand pays only when the creator accepts, and the payout is held until the post is verified. If a paid offer doesn't go ahead, the money goes back to the brand's balance for the next offer, or the brand can withdraw it on request.
- 03
Creator posts
The creator writes the post in their own words, with the tracked link and X's Paid partnership label, and submits the post URL.
- 04
Verified, then paid
Once the post is verified on X, the creator's 80% is credited to their balance and the 20% fee is earned. Creators withdraw from $10.
Pricing questions
- How much does Transformer cost?
- Nothing up front: no subscription, seats or minimums. The brand sets each offer's payout; the creator receives 80% and Transformer keeps 20%. The same split applies to sales commission.
- What does a creator get from a $250 X post?
- $200. The brand pays $250, the creator receives 80% ($200) and the platform fee is 20% ($50). With a 10% commission on sales, each $100 sale adds $10 of commission: $8 to the creator and $2 to the platform.
- When is the brand charged, and what if the post never happens?
- Sending an offer is free: the brand pays when the creator accepts (within 72 hours, or the offer is cancelled), and the creator posts only after that. The payout is held and released only when the creator's post is verified on X: live, from the right account, with the tracked link and X's Paid partnership label. If a paid offer doesn't go ahead, or a dispute over a post that isn't verified is resolved for the brand, the money goes back to the brand's balance for the next offer, and the brand can withdraw the balance on request.
- How do creators get paid?
- When a post is verified, the creator's share is credited to their balance. Payouts are by PayPal or USDC (Solana or Base), from $10, usually within 3 business days of a payout request; earnings wait in the balance until then. A W-9 or W-8BEN is needed once a year's payouts reach the tax-form threshold.
- Does it cost more to use the API, MCP server or CLI?
- No. Agents and people pay the same: the 20% fee on payouts and commission, nothing else. API keys, the MCP server and the CLI are free.
- Who sets the price of a post?
- The brand, per offer. Creators can publish a rate card on their profile, and brands can offer that rate or their own; the creator accepts or declines.
