Amazing platform for student-athletes looking to get involved with NIL

This platform is the best platform for NIL use out on the market. I have gotten several deals through this platform and every time have received and been paid a commission. It is easy to use and find businesses that are willing to work with you in order to support their product. It is the most active platform that contains the most amount of businesses on the market.

PROS

Easy to connect with various brands. Deals of all kinds. Customer support responds quickly.

CONS

The app could use some fixing and updating. The commission that is taken from the deal is a bit too much.

Waste Of Money: Broken Features And Overpriced Influencers

I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone. They don't have a free trial period and don't offer refunds. So, absolutely steer clear.

PROS

At first we were really excited to discover this platform able to put in contact influencers and companies, but once we started using it, it revealed completely useless for us.

CONS

Influencers on this platform ask for ridiculous amount of money. All of them, from very small to big influencers. They don't offer enough exposure or content quality to ask for those prices. Additionally, most accounts are managed by agents, so they are totally useless since they are very editorial and there is no "social" component.Most features are incomplete, broken or very limiting. For example, many social media links don't work and can't really view the actual live social media accounts of the athletes. Proposal or campaign templates are very basic and limiting, you are better off on your own. All text slots have a character limit which makes the whole process frustrating since you can't really express all your terms. Another frustrating feature is that the app puts you in contact with an OpenSponsorship agent every time you declare that you don't have the budget to collaborate with an influencer. This is ridiculous. You are better off contacting the influencers outside the platform, at least you have a direct conversation with them. In other words, when the influencers ask for a ridiculous amount of money (which happens most of the time), the app doesn't give you the opportunity to negotiate directly with them.

Staley and OS is awesome!

PROS

The access to so many athletes is amazing. Staley is always such a big help.

CONS

We have seen difficulties with athletes uploading videos that are around 10 minutes, but I understand and that is not a big deal.

Vendor Response

Lauren, thank you for leaving a review. We're thrilled that you enjoy using OpenSponsorship!
