Question 1

How does Stroby work?

Accepted Answer

Stroby uses AI to match businesses with the most relevant influencers and creators based on niche, audience demographics, and budget. Both sides opt in before a deal is made. Payments are held in escrow until the placement runs and proof of performance is submitted.

Question 2

How much does Stroby cost?

Accepted Answer

Stroby is completely free for influencers and creators. For businesses, we charge a commission on each successful transaction. There are no upfront fees, subscriptions, or hidden costs.

Question 3

How do you verify metrics?

Accepted Answer

We use direct API integrations with major platforms to pull real audience and engagement data. For platforms without API access, we use verified screenshot submissions with timestamp validation.

Question 4

What is the placement guarantee?

Accepted Answer

If actual performance metrics fall significantly short of what was promised, Stroby will issue a partial or full refund to the business from the escrowed funds.

Question 5

How does the escrow system work?

When a partnership is booked, the business pays into Stroby's escrow. The funds are held securely while the placement runs. Once proof of placement is submitted and metrics are verified, the funds are released to the influencer or creator.
