How it works

Four steps. The same in every market.

You find the creators and keep the creative. Cognitiva handles everything between the handshake and the payout.

01 — Find

In the tools you already use.

Spreadsheets, DMs, your CRM, your scouting platform. Nothing changes. When you’ve chosen a creator, send them the brief through Cognitiva, or invite them with a link.

02 — Check

Real, resident, registered, payable.

Before anyone signs, we confirm the creator is who they say, lives where they say, has their business and tax details in order, and can legally be paid. Under three minutes, done once; verified creators carry a public badge.

03 — Sign

A contract that works in their country.

The creator gets a contract built on their own country’s legal framework, in their language: what they deliver, what you may do with the content and for how long, what they earn. Each country we cover has its own framework in the software; your legal team reviews it once, the platform applies it every time. Contracts are available today in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic, and as dual-language documents, so the brand and the creator each read the same contract in their own language. The money is set aside the moment the creator signs.

04 — Pay

Paid when the work is approved.

The post goes live with the right disclosure for the creator’s market. You approve the work. The creator is paid to their wallet in days, through licensed payment partners. Tax paperwork is handled along the way.

The record

One page with everything that happened.

Who checked what, what was signed, what was posted, when the money moved. Exportable for your legal team, your finance team and your client.

How it’s priced

Seats you license, clearances you pay for as you run them.

Seats from USD 25 (viewer) to USD 150 (authority) per month; a clearance fee per creator check (illustrative USD 11 to 18, stepping down with volume); a transaction fee on cleared payouts (illustrative 0.9 to 1.5 percent). Creators never pay on payouts.
