Lumina Connect vs TDM Agency: published terms compared
Lumina Connect (#3, 6.2/10, Germany): Publishes the structural terms unusually clearly: the creator keeps the login on her own email and password, platform payouts land in her bank account, no upfront fees, no lock-in, leak removal included. Withholds the commission rate for the call and has no public contract text. TDM Agency (#8, 4.1/10, United Kingdom): Publishes a verifiable UK company with number, address and two named founders, and an in-house UK chat team. Its exit terms, a lifetime trial with no commitment, are on one acquisition page rather than the main journey. Publishes no commission (a 50% figure appears only in a referral example), no payout route, no notice period, no upfront-cost statement and no content clause; the team logs into the creator's account.
Lumina Connect ranks higher on published terms, which measures what each agency prints and can be checked, not how well it manages an account.
Lumina Connect: A creator with an existing account and English-speaking audience who values control (own login, own payouts, sign-off on every post) over knowing the rate before the first call. Not for a creator who wants the split in writing before talking, or who needs a large team.
TDM Agency: A creator who wants a large, named, register-verified UK operation with its own chat team and is prepared to get every commercial term in writing before signing, because none of them is on the site. Not for a creator who wants to keep sole control of her login or to read the terms before the call. Last checked 12 September 2026, under methodology v1.0: fourteen equal-weight criteria on what each agency publishes on its own site.

Published terms side by side
| Term | Lumina Connect | TDM Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Withheld: "anyone who quotes you a percentage before seeing your account is guessing. On the call we break the split down transparently" | Not published. Homepage: "We typically work on a revenue-share basis". The only figure, "we take our 50%", appears in a referral-program example on a separate page |
| Basis | Not published | Not published |
| Minimum term | None: "No lock-in, no exit penalties ... you can leave any day" | No minimum term stated. "Lifetime Trial", "ZERO commitments" and "Cancel Anytime" appear on the trans-creator landing page only; the homepage journey runs through "the contract is signed" and the FAQ speaks of "full legally binding contracts" |
| Notice period | Not published; "Terms and notice are agreed in writing before you start" | Not published |
| Commission after exit | Not published; "No exit clauses, no leftovers" | Not published |
| Upfront cost | None: "No upfront fees. Commission only. If you do not earn, we do not earn." | Not published |
| Who holds the login | Creator: "Your accounts stay in your name, on your email, with your password. We work through access you grant and can revoke." | Agency logs in: "We log in, organise content, learn your voice"; creator keeps "full access" |
| Where payouts go | Direct: "Platform payouts land in your bank account, not ours - our commission is settled afterwards" | Not published |
| Content ownership | Creator, as a homepage statement: "Login, content and fans stay in your name"; no contract text | Not published for creator content; the site terms license only material uploaded to the website |
| Binding agreement public | No. There is no terms page and no contract text; "Terms and notice are agreed in writing before you start." | No. Site terms refer to separate service agreements; the FAQ confirms a signed contract. |
