Direct Answer: How much does a sponsored TikTok video cost?

A micro-creator with 10 k,50 k followers typically charges between €100 and €500 for a single In-Feed TikTok video in 2026. For high-production content, extensive briefings or exclusive usage rights, the fee can rise up to €1,500. The exact amount depends on engagement rate, niche relevance and the scope of the brand’s rights.

What is a Micro-Creator?

A micro-creator (also called micro-influencer) is a content creator who holds between 10,000 and 50,000 followers on platforms such as TikTok. They combine relatively high engagement with a manageable community size, making them especially valuable for brands.

Why do prices vary?

• Engagement rate: Higher likes and comments justify higher fees.
• Niche: Fashion and beauty accounts generally command higher rates than pure entertainment accounts.
• Production effort: Complex video drops, special effects or multiple shoot days increase compensation.
• Usage rights: Exclusive rights (e.g., paid-ads) cost more.
