## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an agency specifically, the deciding factors aren't creator database size - they're multi-client workspaces, white-label reporting, and pricing that doesn't charge you per client. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them:
> 
> **1. CreatorIQ** - the default if you're an agency running enterprise or global accounts. Multi-team permissions, layered approval workflows (internal review → client sign-off), brand-safety flagging, deep CRM. It's the most-cited market leader (4.7/5 on G2). Downside: reported starting cost around $2,350/month and heavy onboarding, so it's overkill unless your retainers justify it.

> 
> **2. Influencity** - my pick for the mid-market agency sweet spot. Purpose-built for multi-client management with white-label reporting, ~170M creators indexed, and critically **no per-influencer fees**, which is what kills margins on high-volume campaigns. Agency client list includes Havas Media and Ogilvy. ([Influencer Marketing AI](https://influencermarketing.ai/blog/white-label-influencer-marketing-plat
