Bidlyy vs. Cameo
Both let fans pay creators for personal moments. The difference is how the price gets set — and how much of it you actually keep.
| Bidlyy | Cameo | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Auction — fans bid up from a floor price you set | Fixed price you set upfront |
| What creators keep | Up to 93% (flat 7% fee, or $1 — whichever is greater) | 70–75% (25% commission) |
| Urgency | Live countdown clock — bidding pressure builds in real time | None — it's a static storefront listing |
| Co-hosting | Two creators can co-host one auction and split the payout | Not supported |
| What you can list | Shoutouts, follow-backs, video calls, gaming sessions, digital downloads, or custom | Primarily personalized video shoutouts |
| Fulfillment | Private chat with the winning fan — deliver however fits the listing | Video recorded and delivered in-app |
| Support | 24/7 phone and email support | Email support |
Why the payout gap is so big
Cameo takes a 25% commission on every booking, so creators keep 70–75%. Bidlyy takes a flat 7% platform fee — or $1 per sale, whichever is greater — so creators keep up to 93%. On a $100 sale, that's the difference between keeping $93 and keeping $75.
Auctions surface real demand
A fixed price is a guess. Set it too low and you leave money on the table; set it too high and you get no bookings at all. Bidlyy's auctions let the floor price be a starting point, not the final answer — a countdown clock and competing bids let your most motivated fans reveal what a moment is actually worth to them.
