## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> A few of the "top 10" listicles in those results are affiliate or vendor-authored content, so I'd treat their rankings as marketing. Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them for an agency.
> 
> ## The main contenders
> 
> **1. CreatorIQ** - The default if you're an agency of any real size. It's the only one with genuinely good multi-client architecture: separate workspaces per brand, role-based permissions, and an actual agency licensing tier (it's what most holdco agencies - Publicis, Dentsu, Omnicom shops - run on). Deepest API integrations and the most defensible measurement. Downside: enterprise pricing and annual contracts, realistically five figures a year minimum.
> 
> **2. Aspire** (formerly AspireIQ) - Best mid-market pick and probably the best value-per-dollar for agencies running 5-20 client programs. Strong creator marketplace with inbound applications (saves enormous outreach time), good campaign briefs/contracts/payments workflow, excellent Shopify and ecommerce integration. Agency plan exists and is negotiable.
> 
> **3. Upfluence** - Pick this if your clients are DTC/ecommerce. Its differentiator is matching a client's own customer list against so
