Here's what I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. CreatorIQ** - The default for agencies serving enterprise brands. Strongest at discovery + management + measurement + creator payments in one system, with the client-facing reporting and data rigor that holds up when a brand's own analytics team pushes back. The catch is cost: annual contracts commonly run $30K-$200K+, so it only makes sense if you're billing clients enough to absorb it or passing it through. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/creatoriq-vs-influencer-hero-vs-grin), [pricing context](https://toolradar.com/alternatives/grin))\n\n**2. Modash** - My pick for most small-to-mid agencies, and the one I'd try first. Starts around $99/mo, the creator database is genuinely good for vetting (real audience location/credibility data, not just follower counts), and it's used specifically by agencies sourcing across multiple clients. Low enough that you can expense it per client without destroying margin.
