upstageX is a web platform for brands that discover creators and manage influencer campaigns and deals with Xerxes AI. Its creator database contains 100 profiles, with tools for creator discovery, campaign management, performance analytics, and creator payments. Xerxes AI can draft campaign briefs, match creators, reveal collaboration insights, and suggest pricing. A single workflow covers deliverables, milestones, approvals, revisions, and tracking. Funds are held in escrow and released by milestone after approval; the site requires a signed contract before funding. Digitally signed contracts are generated, while contracts, approvals, and payouts remain in a permanent deal record. Creators can join free, receive invitations, submit deliverables, and receive milestone payments after approval. The Free plan is free with an 8% platform fee, allowing 10 creators per campaign and 25 creator profiles monthly. Growth and Enterprise pricing is custom monthly after a demo.
