Stop getting ghosted. Get paid for every frame.
Contracts, invoices, and usage rights tracking — built for UGC creators who are tired of DM deals and disappearing brands.

The problem is real.
Brand ghosting is killing your income
You deliver the content, then the brand disappears. No contract means no leverage — and no payment.
DM deals have zero protection
Instagram DMs aren't contracts. When disputes happen, you have nothing to show. Creators without contracts lose 40% more to disputes.
Your face is being used forever for free
Brands run your UGC as paid ads for years on a one-time $200 deal. Without usage rights tracking, you'll never know when to renegotiate.

How it works
Create a deal
Pick a contract template, set your rate, usage rights duration, and revision limits. Takes 60 seconds.
Brand signs & you deliver
Share the contract link. Brands e-sign without creating an account. Upload deliverables when ready.
Get paid & track rights
Invoice auto-generates on delivery. Usage calendar tracks when rights expire so you can renegotiate or take down content.
Everything you need.
The deal manager built for UGC creators. Create contracts, send invoices, and track usage rights — all in one place. No more DM deals, no more disappearing brands.
One-Click Contracts
UGC-specific templates with usage rights, revision limits, and payment terms built in. Send to brands in 60 seconds — they e-sign without creating an account.
Auto-Invoices
Invoices generate automatically when you mark deliverables as complete. No more forgetting to bill or chasing payments through DMs.
Usage Rights Calendar
See exactly when each brand's content rights expire. Get alerts before renewals so you never give away perpetual ad rights again.

Frequently asked questions
Are the contracts legally binding?+
DealShield provides professional contract templates designed for UGC deals, not legal advice. Our templates cover deliverables, payment terms, usage rights, and revision limits. For high-value or complex deals, we recommend consulting a lawyer.
What if the brand doesn't want to use a contract tool?+
No problem — you can export any contract as a PDF and send it via email or DM. Brands just need to e-sign through a simple link. No account required.
How does the free tier work?+
Your first 3 deals are completely free with full features. No credit card required. After that, Creator Pro is $19/month for unlimited deals.
Can I track deals from before I started using DealShield?+
Yes — you can manually add past deals to track their usage rights expiry dates. Great for catching brands that are still running your content past the agreed period.
“I built DealShield after watching too many creator friends get ghosted on deals or find their face in ads months after the contract 'ended.' Every creator deserves to get paid fairly and know exactly where their content is being used.”
“I got ghosted twice last year on $400+ deals. Now I send a DealShield contract link and brands take me more seriously. Got paid within a week on my last 5 deals.”
