Agency needs differ from brand needs: multi-client workspaces, per-client permissioning, white-label reporting, and pricing that scales by client count rather than by one brand's campaign volume.\n\n**1. CreatorIQ** - The default answer for mid-market and enterprise agencies. Separate client environments, deep white-labeling, strong API/integrations, and the reporting rigor you need when a client's procurement team audits your numbers. It's the platform holding companies standardize on (1,300+ brands and agencies, including Burson). Expensive: reported tiers start around $35K/yr and run to $200K/yr with annual contracts.\n\n**2. Aspire** - My usual recommendation when CreatorIQ is overkill or out of budget. Covers discovery, outreach, briefs, contracts, product seeding, and affiliate links in one workflow, which matters when you're executing rather than just reporting. Reported entry around $2,000-2,500/mo with an annual commitment.\n\n**3. Influencity** - Best value for agencies juggling many small-to-mid clients. ~200M creator index, genuinely good audience analytics, branded white-label rep", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
