Happ is the homebase for creative independence. It combines contracts, payments, and invoicing into one mobile-first workspace, and uses aggregated, anonymized deal data from the community to give creators real-time pricing and contract intelligence. Built for photographers, videographers, designers, editors, musicians, models, DJs, content creators, and other creative professions.
Independent creatives who work deal-by-deal – photographers, videographers, directors, producers, content creators, models, stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists, designers, DJs, chefs, and other creative professionals running their own business. Happ serves 40+ creative sectors across four categories.
Most creative professionals run a real business on borrowed tools: a template here, an invoice app there, a payment link somewhere else. On happ, the contract, the payment and the relationship live in one Homebase. Pricing and terms draw on real deals across the network, so you quote from evidence, not guesswork. The rule on happ: happ suggests, you decide.
No. Happ does not match creators with collaborators and takes zero commission on your deals. Happ is infrastructure that serves creators after the discovery relationship is already established – when repeat collaborators want to work directly and skip platform fees.
No. The “network” in Happ is a contributing dataset of real creator deals – anonymized, opt-in, and visible to each creator as aggregated benchmarks. There are no followers, feeds, or public profiles.
When creators run deals through Happ, the data layer learns what real projects in real sectors actually pay – by service type, geography, scope, and creator level. Our AI assistant surfaces those benchmarks when you build a contract, so your pricing is grounded in evidence, not guesswork. You always decide the final number.
0% commission on deals. happ doesn’t take a cut of what you earn. ACH payments cost a flat $6.90 · a $1.90 Service fee plus $5 processing. Card payments cost a $1.90 Service fee plus 3% processing.
Your individual deals are private to you. What the community sees are aggregated, anonymized benchmarks – ranges and norms, never your specific collaborators, contract values, or terms.
Free, Pro ($20/month), and Enterprise ($299+/month for agencies and businesses via Happ Studio).
Pioneers are the first 50 founding members of Happ (#1000001–#1000050) – a closed cohort of creators who help shape the platform and community. The program is invite-based and launching in 2026.
