No matter how many times you apply, you never get the chance to participate in paid campaigns. I’m not sure what they’re looking for—I have high-quality work in my portfolio, yet I still don’t get any opportunities. For campaigns that are unpaid or offer only a product, they are extremely demanding regarding the content; I don’t agree with that—if all I’m receiving is the product, they should be more flexible and let the creator’s imagination flow. When you are selected, there’s no follow-up; brands take forever to respond, and sometimes they don’t even send the product—which ends up lowering your rating within the app itself.

I received an email from the app owner inviting me to sign up, along with an offer of $900 from a San Francisco company advertising skincare products and launching a new brand. I accepted the offer and signed up, but I never heard back from them. I also referred several people but never received any referral benefits. Additionally, I signed up with more than 100 companies offering paid advertising opportunities, yet I have not heard back from any of them. This experience has left me feeling disappointed and suspicious that some companies may be using offers to encourage people to download apps and sign up without following through. I’m sharing my experience because people’s time is valuable. I appreciate honest reviews and plan to continue writing them to help others avoid wasting their time. -Shikoma [ @shikomamontford ]

Could be better. Some shady brands there, be careful. I chose some categories I'm not interested in but I still receive invites that match those categories. Actually, most invites are like that. I had some succesful collabs but brands didn't leave feedback. Insense doesn't care. So many better platforms out there!

The customer service from Insense is terrible. It takes sometimes over a week or two (come on-that’s ridiculous) to hear back, then if you have a follow up, you wait again. Their emails say if you have questions about a campaign to reach out, but for those, they never answer.

I would say not a lot of campaigns and it seems always the same things on the app. I would like more things to try and give my feedback.

I joined Insense excited to collaborate with brands, but my experience so far has been inconsistent and frustrating. Several brands selected me and confirmed product shipment, yet I never received the items, creating unnecessary delays and wasted time. In one collaboration, Resleep sent capsules that arrived ruptured. The original scope required using the product for a couple of weeks, but they later requested a turnaround in just a few days, which was unrealistic. My most concerning experience has been with Evolenne. The product arrived on the original due date, but brand responses were consistently slow (around five days each time I replied). When they did respond, they requested a three-day turnaround instead of the seven days outlined in their own documentation. On 2/13, I sent an alternative solution to their requested changes, but I have not received any response. The collaboration is now 18 days past the original due date, the content is still incomplete, and payment is uncertain. As a creator, clear communication, realistic timelines, and reliable payment are essential. While Insense has potential, stronger oversight is needed to ensure brands follow through and respect agreed terms. At this stage, I am cautious about accepting future collaborations through the platform.

First of all there's only a mobile app. No website. Super frustrating to download briefs and upload content only through an app. Second, it's mostly gifted collabs. Third, there's no protection for creators. No way to keep the client true to their brief, so there's constant scope bloat and general nuisance.

I think this is a great app for free product and starting out with a new portfolio - but I have a high rating and never find any paid gigs.
