Common Questions About Talent Fees

How much do traditional talent agents charge?

Traditional talent agents typically take 10-20% of your earnings as commission. The industry standard for modeling and commercial work is 15-20%, while influencer agents often charge around 15%. This comes directly out of what you earn on every booking, regardless of the professional talent valuation they provide.

What does P3RSON charge?

P3RSON charges a flat 10% platform fee on completed bookings. There are no upfront costs, and the free tier has no monthly fee. Stripe's standard payment processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) also applies. P3 Pro is a separate $19.99/month plan that is not yet available. The platform fee applies only when a booking is completed.

Are there hidden fees with traditional agents?

Many traditional agencies charge fees beyond their standard commission. Registration fees, required headshots, website listing fees, and training costs all eat into your bottom line.

Can I actually make more money without an agent?

Yes. By using an agency with lower fees or handling bookings yourself, you keep more of every dollar earned. The tradeoff is managing your own bookings and outreach. P3RSON plans AI-powered matching and booking tools, which are not available yet.
