The real difference
Brillay takes the smallest cut of anyone here, 8%, and covers more request types: commissions, custom videos, funding goals. It is broader than Nudge and less specific to coaching. Nudge is built for one job, a coach answering a question, which shows up in the parts Brillay does not have: coaching-shaped tiers, a reply window the asker is protected by, and a directory of coaches by niche.
Pick Brillay instead if
- You sell commissions, edits or custom videos as well as advice
- The 8% fee matters more to you than coaching-specific tooling
- You want tips and funding goals on the same page
Pick Nudge if
- Advice is the product, not one of five request types
- You want the asker protected by a 7 day window rather than a delivery date you set
- You want to be findable in a directory of coaches by niche
