DealVibe vs a talent manager
A talent manager is a person who represents you, often across many parts of your career. DealVibe is software: an AI negotiator that handles inbound brand deals from your link. They do different jobs, and some creators use both.
| The alternative | DealVibe | |
|---|---|---|
| Who negotiates | A person, with their own judgement and relationships. | An AI negotiator working within the floors you set. It is an AI, and says so when asked. |
| What it costs | Set by your agreement with the manager. Ask for it in writing. | Free: 10% of a deal only if it closes, capped at $1,500 (1 negotiated deal a month). Pro: $49/month or $490/year, 0% fee. As of 2026-09-28. |
| Scope | Usually broader than brand deals: strategy, introductions, other work. | Inbound brand deals from your link, plus drafting and delivering the content. |
| Your say | Set by your agreement. | By default it replies within your floors; approval mode holds every reply for your OK. You always approve content before it goes to the brand. |
| Contract | Often a term or exclusivity clause. Read it. | No exclusivity. Free needs no card; Pro is cancelled from Settings. |
The alternative fits if…
You want a person who advises on your whole career, opens doors and negotiates larger or more complex deals.
DealVibe fits if…
You want inbound inquiries answered and negotiated quickly within your own floors, without giving up a share of every deal.
Questions worth asking anyone
- What percentage do you take, and on which deals?
- How long is the term, and is it exclusive?
- What happens to deals in progress if we part?
- Who has final say on price?
