You Shouldn't Need a Second Job to Stay Compliant
Let's talk about something that's been bothering us: the cost of 2257 compliance.
If you're an independent creator or a small producer, you already know the drill. You make content, you hustle to grow your audience, and somewhere in the back of your mind you know you need to handle your 2257 obligations. So you go looking for a solution — and you find out that most compliance services want $50 to $120 per month. Just for record-keeping.
That's $600 to $1,400 a year. For paperwork.
We think that's absurd.
What the Industry Charges
Here's what "compliance" costs at most providers right now:
| Provider Type | Monthly Cost | COR Service | ID Verification | Digital Signing | Talent Self-Service |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Compliance Service | $49–119/mo | Included | Manual or none | Sometimes | No |
| Compliance Lawyer | $300–500/mo | Included | Manual | No | No |
| DIY (Self-Manage) | Free | Your home address | You check IDs | No | No |
| Easy2257 Solo Creator | $9.95/mo | Included | Self-verification | Yes | Yes |
| Easy2257 Per Scene | $39.95/scene | Included | Bank-grade (Veriff) | Yes | Yes |
| Easy2257 Producer | $143.95/mo | Included | Bank-grade (Veriff) | Yes | Yes |
Read that chart again. Some services charge $49/month — five times our Solo Creator price — and don't even include automated ID verification. They hand you a PDF template and call it "compliance."

The Solo Creator Plan: $1/Month
We launched the Solo Creator plan because independent creators deserve compliance too — without paying studio prices for it.
And right now, we're going even further. Use code COVERME at checkout to get your first year of Solo Creator for just $1/month ($12/year).
That's full COR service, a compliance dashboard, content logging, and a compliance statement generator — for the price of a single coffee per month.
We're not doing this because we have to. We're doing it because compliance should be accessible to every creator, not just the ones who can afford $50+/month.
Why We're Different
We didn't build Easy2257 to sell PDF templates. We built it because the compliance industry was gatekeeping a federal requirement behind prices that most independent creators can't afford.
Other providers charge you $50/month for a dashboard and some document templates. We give you an actual compliance platform — ID verification, digital signing, automated record-keeping, COR service — starting at $9.95/month. Or $39.95 per scene if you don't want a subscription at all.
We don't think compliance should be a luxury. We think it should be a tool that every creator can access, use, and trust.
Get Started
- Solo creators: Sign up and use code COVERME for $1/month (annual billing)
- Producers: Start with a single scene for $39.95 — no subscription required
- Studios: Check out our Producer and Studio plans for monthly scene allowances
Your compliance shouldn't cost more than your streaming subscriptions. We made sure it doesn't.
The COVERME promotion applies to the Solo Creator annual plan only. First year billed at $12. Renews at the standard annual rate.
