# Goated > Goated is a vetted roster of creators on X for product launches. A company books the creators its buyers already follow, sees every rate before it commits, and runs the launch from one dashboard: invitations, drafts, the go-live email and a check on every post. ## Key facts - What it is: A vetted roster of X creators for product launches, with every rate shown up front. - Built and run by: Gridd (https://gridd.agency) - Founders: Madni Aghadi (https://x.com/hey_madni), Siddhant Choudhary (https://x.com/immasiddx) - Best for: companies launching a product on X (AI, developer tools, SaaS, consumer apps) that want the creators their buyers already follow to post in the same hour. - Pricing for brands: Launch pass $149 one launch (early-bird $49 right now); All Access $299 per month (early bird right now: $99 for the first month, then $299 a month). Each booked creator is paid on top, at the price shown on the roster before the brand invites anyone. - Launch day: the moment the launch post is live, one go-live email sends the link to every booked creator, so their posts land in the same hour. - Creators: any X account can join. Goated measures median views, reads the audience from X analytics and checks the replies for real people. Creators set their own rate per format and keep 100% of it. - Creator payouts: as soon as their post is confirmed live, usually within a few days. By bank transfer: ACH in the US, international wire in USD elsewhere. - Compared with others: Passionfroot (https://goated.so/compare/passionfroot), Collabstr (https://goated.so/compare/collabstr). - Formats: Post, Thread, Quote post, Repost, Bio link - Being listed is free for creators.
