One caveat up front: nearly all the \"best platform\" listicles for this category are published by vendors in the category (Archive, Modash, Meltwater, CreatorIQ all rank for their own competitor keywords), so treat the rankings as marketing and the feature/pricing facts as the useful part. Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them for an agency:\n\n**1. CreatorIQ** - The default for large agencies and holdcos. Biggest first-party API integrations (Meta, TikTok), ~20M creator profiles, fraud detection, and real governance features for running many client programs under one roof. Used by Disney, Coca-Cola, Lululemon. Expect roughly $2,500-12,000/mo - it's the \"we have enterprise clients and need defensible reporting\" pick.\n\n**2. Influencity** - My top value pick specifically for multi-client agencies. Built around client-separated workspaces with white-label reporting, ~170M creators indexed, and - the part that matters most for agencies - no per-influencer fees, so you're not penalized for adding creators or clients.\n\n**3.
