Testimonials

I absolutely love Swipecast. I was introduced to the platform by a photographer who told me I needed to get onto the platform. I’ve been able to find amazing agency models and have also hired makeup artists and my current photographer who I now use for everything. It’s easy, it’s fast and the rates work.

Beth Anne L.

Creative Director

I use Swipecast for all of my lookbooks. A lot of my projects have limited budgets and the platform’s been a huge resource for me. I’ve discovered amazing hair and makeup teams and even a videographer for my beauty projects. Oh and the team behind the platform is very experienced and reliable.

Karen B.

Photographer

I’ve been using Swipecast since when they first launched. The team behind the platform has been a huge help with casting and production. I’ve been telling all of my friends to use my code and get on it!

Camille R.

Stylist and Designer

I used Swipecast Pro to produce my last 3 shoots. I give them a fixed budget that includes 2 models, hair, makeup, the stylist and the studio. They’ve helped me save thousands of dollars which I’ve been able to reinvest back into my brand. The support team is awesome. Bravo guys.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Swipecast work?

Swipecast lets you book talent directly without having to go through an agency. This simplifies the casting process and saves you time. The minute your job goes live, talent will start applying. You can then chat with them in real-time, invite them for a meeting or casting, and then book them all over the platform.

How does it work if the talent has an agency?

While many of the talents on the platform have external agencies, they all signed up on their own and have agreed to work through the platform. If you are interested in booking a model or other talent, simply let them know and they will coordinate their schedules to ensure they are available the day of the shoot.

How do payments work and how much are the fees?

Payments all happen over the platform. The talent, however, only gets paid 48 hours after the job has been completed. This way, if there’s any kind of issue with the booking, we can always step in and help resolve it before releasing the payment. Swipecast’s fees are also very low. We only charge a 8.75% booking fee plus applicable credit card charges. Agencies, on the other hand, charge higher day rates and also add a 20% commission on top. While we recommend clients pay by credit card, we also offer invoicing for larger productions.

How do I get the email address and phone number of the talent?

Once you confirm a booking, we will then send you both the phone number and email address of the talent for the call sheet. If for any reason, you’re not able to get in touch with talent before confirming the booking, simply contact customer support and will connect you.

What is Swipecast Pro? I read that you offer production assistance?

Yes! Please get in touch so that we can tdiscuss your project. We have a team of in-house producers who can help you organize your next casting, source a top hair and makeup artist, or negotiate a multi-day photo studio rental. Regardless of the size and scope of your project, our team can act as an external production resource to help you scale your operation.

How does usage work?

The standard usage for jobs on Swipecast is 12 months for e-commerce, social media and digital. If you will be doing print advertising or require more extensive usage, please specify this in the notes in the job post. Typically talent will only apply to larger advertising jobs or campaigns when the rates are higher than standare fees. For instance, if you budgeted $1,250 for a model for a 10-hour day for a lookbook, we would recommend raising the budget to at least $2,500 for jobs involving print.

What are the rates on Swipecast?

Talent applies to jobs based on rates they find attractive. Therefore if you are trying to hire elevated talent such as models that have recently shot top editorials or more prestigious photographers with elevated profiles, you should increase the rate that you are willing to pay. This way, the best talent will apply.
