Insense Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate that Insense offers payouts without additional fees, which makes the collaboration process more creator-friendly. I also love that payments are handled through the platform even if the brand becomes unresponsive, so I always feel protected and confident that my work will be compensated. The interface is easy to navigate, and it’s simple to find campaign opportunities that match my niche. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the pitch process for campaigns feels a bit too long and repetitive. It can take extra time to provide detailed answers for each opportunity, even when the project requirements are similar. I wish the application process was more streamlined, so creators could apply more quickly without sacrificing quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Insense gives me consistent access to real, paid UGC projects. The briefs are clear, the brands are responsive, and the workflow is easy to follow. Payments have been smooth, and I’ve booked a good mix of quick projects and higher-value campaigns. It’s been one of the more reliable platforms for keeping my creator workload steady, even while living abroad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some projects fill fast, so you need to check the app often. A few brands take longer to review content, which can slow down payouts. Nothing major, but those delays can add friction when I’m trying to keep a tight schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love connecting with new brands and learning about new products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Insense, so I hate to say this, but it’s wayyyy easier when I get to work with the brands directly, than it is when the brands hire the Insense team to do the work for them. Whenever I have to work with the Insense team, the collabs take over a month (sometimes two!) to close out, and the briefs always sound like they’re made by ChatGPT. In addition, the Insense team doesn’t do product research before sending the brief, so the briefs don’t always make sense. For example, one of my briefs asked me make the tin foil of a chocolate bar reflect the sunlight… but the chocolate bar wasn’t wrapped in tinfoil - it was wrapped in paper.

I like that I am recommended to campaigns by the insense team. I like that I can apply it decline campaigns as I see fit for my business and niche. I like that insense is easy to communicate with and gives timely responses. I like that I can negotiate and speak to the brand directly but if there are any issues with the campaign that the brand isn't able to resolve, insense can step in to help. It's an easy and fun way to work in ugc creation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont like the brands can change scripts, products or expected content after hiring. I think the contact should be open fair and honest before the hiring process. It looks bad to cancel after you've been hired simply because the brand changed something on you last minute. This happens when 3rd parties are posting campaigns for multiple brands or products for the same quarter. I would like this to be more controlled or regulated by insense itself.

I’ve been using Insense for over a year and it has become one of my favorite platforms for UGC collaborations. I love how intuitive and easy the interface is to navigate, even when managing multiple campaigns at once. There is always a wide variety of brand campaigns across different niches, which makes it easy to find opportunities that truly match my style and content. The platform feels very creator friendly, and the overall workflow from application to content delivery is smooth and well thought out. I always recommend Insense to my fellow UGC creators because it genuinely helps streamline the collaboration process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much to dislike, but occasionally communication with some brands can take longer than expected. It would be great to have even more tools that help creators stay updated on campaign progress or receive quicker responses. Otherwise, the platform works very well for my needs.

I love how they have really streamlined working with brands. From being able to match with brands, to timelines, payment and communication are all at the drop of a hat right there in the app! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be some issues the last few months where I would upload content for various brands, and then the content somehow never gets to the brand. I’ve thankfully found a way to get around that but it seems to just be an issue with the regular upload. When you upload content under “other content” it goes through fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly love Insense; it has had a significant impact on my life. Since becoming a mom, I’ve been able to spend much more time with my daughter, largely because of the collaborations I’ve found through Insense. The payment process is simple and usually quite fast, and the partners I’ve worked with have been excellent. It’s really a fantastic app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really wish brands would communicate when they decide not to move forward with your application, rather than just leaving it pending for an extended period. It would be much better to receive a response, even if it's a rejection, instead of waiting without any update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Insense matches up your interests and lets us know if we're a match and highly likely to get hired. I like that there's a lot of variety and that I can choose what kind of work I want to do. Taking jobs I'm interested in helps me do a better job, especially with products, so I can give authentic reviews and do authentic work. It's great that Insense has everything together for me, so I don't have to go hunting for sources. The initial setup was fairly easy, and I got work almost immediately.

There are two things I wish could be improved with Insense. One is the response time. Sometimes you get a response from someone on the other side of the planet, and it's 3:00 AM where you are, which can mess up your timing. I wish there could be some allowance for that based on time zone differences. The other thing is about having a filter option. It would be great if you could choose whether you want raw footage only, raw footage plus ready-to-use ads, or ready-to-use ads only. I don't like doing editing and most of the time, I only take raw footage jobs. If there was a way to filter jobs based on this preference, that would be ideal.

I like the wide range of opportunities. Insense also pretty well. Most of the time the pay amounts match with work that is requested. It feels like Insense values the creators and the level of work we put into each job. I also like that Insense does not "charge" creators 20% to use the app. It's a very easy app to use and very user friendly. It makes it very easy to apply for jobs.

I would like to be able to transfer the information in the brief that brands give to my computer or even to a note on my phone because sometimes looking at it just in the app, it's too small for me to be able to use the way I need it to create the content that I need to create.

What I like best about Insense is the versatility and the opportunities it creates to connect creators with brands. I’ve enjoyed working on campaigns through the platform and appreciate how it brings collaborations together in one place. That said, I’d love to see more variety in the types of campaigns offered. Lately, it feels like the platform has been sticking to the same niches, primarily wellness and skincare and there are so many other brands and industries that creators could be collaborating with. Expanding into more diverse categories would keep things fresh, benefit creators, and help Insense grow without limiting itself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, I’ve found it increasingly challenging to work solely through the app, as I do the majority of my work on my desktop. When Insense previously offered a desktop version, it greatly improved my workflow and overall experience, and its removal this year has made collaboration more difficult. Moving into 2026, this will definitely impact whether I continue using the platform, as versatility between web and app is something other platforms already offer successfully. I strongly encourage bringing back the desktop version, as it would be a major enhancement for creators. Additionally, I’d love to see more fairness and transparency in campaign pricing, when brands set a range, creators naturally expect it to be respected. Competitive and realistic rates (such as $200–$300+) are essential for creators to continue delivering high-quality work and staying motivated to collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
