ClipLedger helps agencies and teams managing creator campaigns automatically track video views and calculate payouts. Instead of manually updating spreadsheets and estimating earnings, ClipLedger fetches view data and calculates payouts automatically based on your campaign rules. Built for teams working with multiple creators, UGC campaigns, and performance-based payouts. We’re onboarding early teams and offering free access (Pro plan) to the first 15 users.

Hey @begaiym_adylbek_kyzy, congrats on the launch. I've worked with a few agencies running UGC campaigns and spreadsheets are still the default. It's painful.
I spent some time on your site. A few things stood out to me.
I like the "save 5-10 hours per week" stat. It's your strongest hook. But it's buried under a "Why ClipLedger" section halfway down. That number should be in the first sentence someone reads.
Also, the pricing page shows $19 and $49 but doesn't explain what active tracking means. If I'm an agency with 200 videos, do I need Pro? The jump from 100 to 500 to unlimited makes sense, but active tracking could be clearer.
And lastly the MVP approach is unique. Building with early users is the right move. I'm curious how you're handling creators who submit the same video to multiple campaigns. Is that something you're thinking about?
Either way, excited to see where this goes. Good luck with the launch!

Thanks a lot, Taimur — your feedback is very valuable to us.
You’re absolutely right about the “5–10 hours” point — we’ll move it up and make it more prominent.
Also great call on pricing clarity. “Active tracking” has been a bit too internal as a term, so we’ll rework it and make it clearer how it maps to actual usage.
Regarding duplicate submissions — at the moment, it’s possible to submit the same video to multiple campaigns. We will address it in the next release.
Thanks again — really appreciate the thoughtful insights.
@begaiym_adylbek_kyzy Appreciate that. I like that you're acting on feedback already. That's how great products get built.
I'll drop a few more thoughts in your email. Quick observations on the creator side of things. No pressure to use any of it.
Keep building.
this is actually useful tbh. anything tied to creator payouts gets messy real fast once multiple people and campaign rules are involved, and spreadsheets only work till a point. i like that you kept the scope tight with youtube shorts first.
curious, are early users mostly agencies or in-house teams managing ugc creators?

Thanks, appreciate that.
It’s still very early for us, so we’re not seeing strong traction yet. We’re actively talking to both agencies and in-house teams to understand where the biggest pain is and who gets the most value.
Our current assumption is that companies and agencies managing creator campaigns will be the primary users, but we’re still validating this.

Who is the target audience? The creator or the company that collaborates with creators?
ClipLedger
@busmark_w_nika Great question — right now the primary audience is companies and agencies managing creator campaigns.
ClipLedger is built for teams working with multiple creators and handling performance-based payouts, where tracking views and calculating payouts becomes time-consuming.
That said, it can also be useful for individual creators managing collaborations, but the main focus is on teams at scale.
@busmark_w_nika Great question Nika, and smart answer Begaiym. I've worked with creator agencies long enough to know the real headache isn't just tracking views. It's the back and forth when creators question the numbers.
ClipLedger solving that with transparent data shared with creators might be even bigger than saving spreadsheet time. When both sides see the same numbers, the fights stop. That's the kind of trust agencies charge extra for.
Are you thinking about a creator-facing dashboard that shows them the same payout numbers you're using?
ClipLedger
@busmark_w_nika @taimur_haider1
Thanks, that’s a really helpful point — especially around trust.
We do have a creator-facing view already where creators can see their submissions, accepted views, and estimated earnings based on the campaign rate. After a campaign is finalized, both sides see the same locked numbers.
That said, it’s still pretty basic, and we see a lot of room to improve it — especially around making payouts and status more explicit.
Definitely something we’re thinking about as a core part of the product.
Does it also track the normal video views or it just does it for YouTube shorts? Is Instagram on the roadmap?
ClipLedger
@himani_sah1
Thanks for asking!
Right now, ClipLedger supports YouTube videos — both Shorts and regular videos.
Instagram and TikTok are on the roadmap. We started with YouTube to stay focused and get the core workflow right first
This is a pretty practical problem to solve. Once creator campaigns start scaling, payout tracking turns into one of those messy backend tasks that eats way too much time and still leaves room for mistakes. Focusing on YouTube Shorts first also makes sense instead of trying to cover everything at once.
Curious, what part do teams struggle with most right now, collecting the view data or agreeing on payout rules?
ClipLedger
@akshay_kumar_hireid
Thanks, appreciate that.
From what we’re seeing so far, both are painful, but in different ways. Collecting view data is time-consuming and manual, while payout rules tend to get messy once there are multiple creators and conditions involved.
We’re trying to simplify both sides, but especially the part where tracking and payouts connect.
@begaiym_adylbek_kyzy sounds like you're on the right path
