UGC discovery and shoppable galleries
you need sources UGC from 25+ social networks by keyword, hashtag, geolocation or direct upload, more breadth than most single-purpose UGC tools.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Nosto UGC does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Nosto prices the whole Commerce Experience Cloud, including Shoppable UGC, as a base platform fee plus variable fees tied to store GMV, traffic volume and which modules are enabled; no module-level or standalone UGC price is published anywhere.
Nosto UGC publishes nothing to annualise, so nobody outside a sales call can tell you the twelve-month figure. For reference, twelve months of Sway9 Starter is $264, and you can see that number without speaking to anyone.

Nosto UGC is nosto's visual UGC module, built on the Stackla platform it acquired in 2021, discovers and curates customer content from 25+ social networks and auto-syncs it into shoppable galleries alongside Nosto's personalization and merchandising tools. The first number you hear will not be the last one. Why teams keep looking:
Where Nosto UGC quotes you a price after a sales call, Sway9 charges on how many creator accounts you track and nothing else. It picks up every TikTok and Instagram post from creators you already work with, refreshes them automatically, and computes spend and effective CPM as the views arrive — the reconciliation Nosto UGC leaves you to do by hand.
