Gatekeep your content until brands pay up
Deliver brand deals through one link. Brands review a watermarked preview, pay you directly, and only then get the clean files, plus a license saying exactly how they can use them.

Why gatekeep?
Once you hit send, you lose your leverage.
Sending final files over Google Drive or DMs before you're paid means trusting every brand to do the right thing. Most do. The ones that don't cost you.
👻
You deliver, they ghost
“Loved it! Payment's coming next week.” Two months later, still nothing, and they already have your files.
📢
Paid for a post, used as an ad
You charged $200 for organic. They ran it as a paid ad for six months, which is usually worth way more.
🔁
“One more small change” x7
No agreed revision limit means endless edits for the same fee.
85% of freelancers say they get paid late at least some of the time. Remote, 2025
How gatekeeping works
Same video. Very different vibe.
Brands see enough to say yes. They get the real thing after they pay.
- 🔒Before: watermarked, 720p, stream only. Nothing they can post.
- 🔓After: clean 4K files, unlocked the moment payment is confirmed.
- 🧾Plus: a license certificate showing exactly what they paid for.

Features
Built for how creators actually get paid
No pay, no file 🔒
Brands only get the watermarked preview until you're paid. No more chasing invoices after delivery.
Charge for ad rights 📢
Posting only is one price. Running it as an ad is a bigger license.
Renewals = repeat money 🔁
When a license is about to end, we nudge the brand to renew. Paid again, no new filming.
0% of your deals 🫶
We never touch your money. Brands pay you directly and you keep 100%.
Receipts for days 🧾
Signed terms, a license certificate and payment proof, ready if a brand breaks the deal.
Revision limits ✂️
Set how many rounds are included. Extra rounds become a paid add-on, not a favour.
Payments
Get paid your way. Anywhere.
Brands pay you directly, using whatever works where you live.

FAQ
Real talk
What is Gatekeepd, exactly?+
A client portal for creators who do brand deals. You use it to send content to brands, collect their feedback, get paid and track who can use your content and for how long. Brands get one simple link, no account needed.
Why join the waitlist?+
Two founding-member perks: Pro at $12/mo for life instead of $19 (for as long as you stay subscribed), and a real say in what we build. You'll get to vote on features and give feedback before launch. Plus a heads-up the moment we go live.
Do you take a cut of my brand deals?+
Nope. Brands pay you directly into your own Stripe or PayPal. Gatekeepd is a flat subscription, 0% of your deals.
Can a brand reuse my video after they download it?+
Honestly, no app can stop that technically once a file is downloaded. What we do: lock everything until you're paid, and give you signed terms, a license certificate and payment records. If they go beyond what they paid for, you've got receipts to invoice them or file a takedown.
Can't brands just screen-record the preview?+
They can try, but they'd get a low-res copy with the watermark baked into the video, stamped with their own brand name and email. You can also limit previews to a short clip or mute the audio. And because they accepted the preview terms before watching, you'd have the receipts to invoice them or get it taken down.
What if I just want to charge once?+
Totally fine. Set a one-time buyout price. Licenses and ad-rights upgrades are optional.
Will brands actually be okay with this?+
Brands already buy licenses for stock photos and music. A clean preview, a clear price and one-click payment make it easier for them, not harder.
