It offers tools to search for creators, evaluate audience demographics and performance metrics, and track content for ad disclosures. Brands set criteria (keywords, hashtags, mentions, or tags), and Modash collects posts to show who posted content, content quality, and how sponsored posts compare to non-sponsored ones, with filters for location, age, gender, language, and fake follower rate. The goal is to enable data-backed partnerships by providing detailed insights and analytics across campaigns, with subscription plans that include API access and content monitoring.

Influencer platforms vs sponsorship workflow tools. Teams often ask whether Sponsara replaces their influencer platform. Usually the answer is no, and that is the point. Different job. Influencer platforms (discovery and program ops). Built to find creators, manage large rosters, run gifting or affiliate, process payouts, or govern enterprise programs. Strong when the hard part is sourcing and operations at scale across networks. Sponsorship workflow tools (Sponsara's lane). Built for the YouTube deal in front of you. Price the channel, structure the offer, store the package, run stages, sync results, use the data in AI tools. See YouTube sponsorship software and the Sponsara review. A simple test. | Sentence you keep saying | Buy | | "We cannot find enough creators." Discovery platform | | "We cannot tell if this YouTube quote is fair." Sponsorship workflow / pricing | | "We cannot run payouts and gifting." Program ops platform | | "Finance wants proof after the campaign." Workflow tool with ROI sync, or your analytics stack plus discipline | Using both. Common stack: discover elsewhere, price and close YouTube in Sponsara. Start triage with the free calculator, then run serious deals through the full product. Ready to put this into practice? Analyze any YouTube channel in seconds. Free for 14 days, no card required. Frequently asked questions. Does Sponsara compete with GRIN or Modash? Only at the edges. Those products emphasize discovery and program operations. Sponsara emphasizes YouTube pricing and deal workflow. Many teams use a discovery tool and Sponsara together. Do I need both? If you already get inbound pitches or work from a known shortlist, you may only need sponsorship workflow software. If sourcing is the bottleneck, start with discovery.
Brand Deals Report 2026: one-off collaborations still dominate Influencer Marketing across all major platforms. New research by The Influencer Marketing Factory and Modash reveals platform-by-platform differences in deal structure, disclosure rates, and seasonal. May 12, 2026 Press Contacts Amy Collins 8004699753 Influencer marketing has become a core component of how brands build awareness, trust, and consumer loyalty. Still, the way partnerships are actually being structured, disclosed, and timed tells a more complex story than the industry narrative may suggest. Despite growing conversations around long-term creator relationships, one-off collaborations still dominate across every major platform, compliance with disclosure requirements remains inconsistent, and campaign timing varies significantly from platform to platform. As brands increase their reliance on creators to drive measurable results, understanding how content is truly being distributed across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube has never been more critical. To better understand how these partnerships are being structured and disclosed across platforms, The Influencer Marketing Factory partnered with Modash, an influencer marketing platform covering more than 380 million creator profiles, to analyze sponsored content activity across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The research focuses on U.S.-based creators with predominantly English-language content, a minimum 30% U.S. audience share, and activity within the last 60 to 120 days. The dataset includes 2,341 Instagram creators (105,939 promoted posts), 3,156 TikTok creators (90,434 promoted posts), and 2,360 YouTube creators (120,019 promoted posts), all filtered for engagement quality and sponsored content activity. After analyzing the results, The Influencer Marketing Factory identified five major findings, which include: * TikTok has the highest ad disclosure rate of any social platform. TikTok leads all three platforms at 52% properly disclosed, nearly double Instagram's 29% and ahead of YouTube's 42%. Across all platforms, built-in disclosure tools dramatically outperform hashtags. Despite this, 61% of Instagram sponsored posts still have no visible disclosure label. * YouTube is the best platform for long-term influencer partnerships. YouTube averages 13.5-month brand partnerships with a 50.9% repeat collaboration rate. In contrast, TikTok averages just 4.9 months, with 72% of creator relationships ending after a single collaboration. The platform a brand chooses determines whether it is building a sustained brand presence or running a one-time activation. * Influencer campaign volume does not peak at the same time across all platforms. While Q4 accounts for 29-31% of annual collab volume across all three platforms, each has its own monthly rhythm. YouTube peaks in December (11.4%), Instagram in November (9.9%), and TikTok front-loads into January (12.1%) before hitting its annual low in May (5%). A coordinated multi-platform strategy requires three distinct budget calendars, not one. * One-off influencer partnerships account for the majority of brand collaborations across all platforms. Single-activation relationships dominate everywhere - 69% on Instagram, 72% on TikTok, and 49% on YouTube. However, YouTube's creator retention advantage holds across every follower tier, with repeat collaboration percentages ranging from 36-49%, compared to TikTok's 22-28%. Platform choice determines a brand's retention ceiling, regardless of creator size. * YouTube's affiliate-first model stands in contrast to Instagram and TikTok's paid-first approach. Affiliate deals account for 52.9% of brand partnerships on YouTube - surpassing paid (41.4%) and unspecified (4.7%) deal types. Unlike the flat-fee structures that dominate Instagram and TikTok, YouTube's affiliate model gives both brands and creators a built-in incentive to extend partnerships beyond a single post, directly contributing to longer average partnership lengths across all creator tiers. Beyond the five core findings, the Brand Deals Report 2026 explores additional topics shaping influencer marketing strategy in 2026, including FTC disclosure guidelines for brands and creators, platform-specific deal structure breakdowns, a seasonality guide for optimizing campaign timing by platform, and a framework for building long-term ambassador programs.

Modash vs Heepsy: Which influencer platform is better in 2026? May 2026 · Tools Modash and Heepsy are the two most popular self-serve creator discovery tools. Both publish pricing, both offer free trials, both index Instagram, TikTok and YouTube creators. The difference is scope: Modash bundles outreach inside the platform, Heepsy keeps it search-first at a lower price. Neither is built for SEO blog outreach. This guide compares the two so you can pick the right one, or skip both. Quick verdict. * Pick Modash if you want one self-serve tool for creator discovery, contact lookup and outreach sequencing, and you're running ongoing influencer campaigns where the integrated workflow saves real time. * Pick Heepsy if you only need creator search and analytics, want the lowest entry price, and you'll run outreach in your own email tool. * Pick neither if your goal is SEO blogger outreach, link building or smaller-scale editorial PR. Both are mismatched. A flat-rate alternative fits better for that workflow. Side-by-side comparison. | Feature | Modash | Heepsy | | Best for | Discovery + outreach in one tool | Cheap self-serve discovery | | Starting price | ~$99/mo | ~$49/mo | | Billing | Monthly or annual | Monthly or annual | | Sales call required | No (Enterprise only) | No | | Free tier or trial | Free trial | Free tier / trial | | Creator search | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube | | Audience analytics | Strong | Strong | | Fake follower analysis | Yes | Yes | | Email finding built in | Yes | Limited | | Outreach sequencing built in | Yes | No | | Lists / CRM | Yes | Yes | | API access | Higher tiers | Higher tiers | | Best fit team size | Small to mid agencies and brands | Freelancer to small agency | Pricing compared. Both publish pricing transparently, which makes comparison easier than with quote-only enterprise tools. Modash plans typically start around $99/mo for the entry tier and scale into the hundreds per month for higher search volume. Annual billing is discounted. Enterprise plans are quote-only. See its Modash pricing guide. Heepsy plans typically start around $49/mo, with Plus and Premium tiers in the $169 to $269/mo range. Annual billing is discounted. There's a free tier or free trial. See its Heepsy pricing guide. At the entry tier, Heepsy is roughly half the price. The trade-off is scope: Modash bundles outreach, Heepsy doesn't. Where Modash wins. * Outreach built in. Email finding plus sequencing in one tool. Heepsy doesn't really do this. * End-to-end workflow. From search to send without exporting contacts to a separate tool. * Stronger email finder. Built into the workflow rather than a side feature. * Fits ongoing programs. When you're running creator outreach as a continuous channel, the integrated workflow saves real time. * Performance tracking. Monitor creator content and campaign performance over time inside the platform. Where Heepsy wins. * Lower entry price. Roughly half the cost of Modash at the starter tier. * Free tier for evaluation. Browse the database before paying. * Less to learn. Lightweight UI, search-first, no campaign workflow to set up. * Fits ad-hoc workflows. When you need to find creators occasionally, not run a continuous program, Heepsy is the right scope. * Cheaper for pure discovery. If you don't use the outreach features, Modash's price premium is wasted. Where both fall short. * SEO blog outreach. Both index social creators only. For editorial outreach to bloggers and journalists for backlinks, neither is the right tool. * Cold email at scale. Even Modash's outreach is functional rather than best-in-class. Heavy cold email teams may still prefer a dedicated tool. * Journalist databases. For PR pitches, Cision, Muck Rack and Prowly are built for that. Modash and Heepsy are not. * Editorial blogger coverage. Both index social creators, not blog authors. * Ambassador programs. Neither has the marketplace, affiliate tracking and content rights workflow that Aspire or CreatorIQ provide. A simpler alternative for blog and editorial outreach. If you came here looking for blogger and editorial outreach for SEO and link building, neither Modash nor Heepsy fits. They are creator discovery tools. For automated blog and editorial outreach, MentionAgent runs the full workflow: * Finds relevant blogs in your niche * Looks up the right contacts * Writes personalized pitches based on the recipient's content * Sends follow-ups You approve the emails before they go out. No creator database to learn, no campaigns to set up, no annual contract. * Pricing: $99/mo flat * What it does: Automated blogger and editorial outreach for SEO and PR * What it doesn't do: Creator discovery on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Audience demographic analytics. Influencer campaign management. Modash and Heepsy are the right tools for finding social creators. MentionAgent is the right tool for SEO and editorial outreach. Pick the one that matches what you actually need to do. Test yourself You manage marketing for a DTC skincare brand. You run monthly Instagram and TikTok creator outreach and want one tool for finding creators, getting their emails and pitching. Which platform fits best?
