Conclusion

Social Cat is the most affordable influencer marketing platform in this comparison, offering powerful features at a lower price than Insense, Modash, and Influencity. While Heepsy is slightly less expensive, it lacks key features needed to run effective collaborations, making Social Cat the best value for brands.

Unlike most competitors, Social Cat fully supports gifted collaborations, allowing brands to receive influencer-generated content without upfront payments. The only other platform offering something similar is Insense, but their model is different, and their pricing is significantly higher with a three-month commitment. Plus, every influencer on Social Cat is opt-in and vetted, ensuring brands connect with engaged, high-quality creators.

We're one of the only platforms that offers licensed content, meaning brands can repurpose influencer-created assets freely - without extra fees or restrictions. Brands can also search for influencers, invite them to collaborate, and receive inbound applications, making Social Cat one of the most dynamic influencer marketing platforms available.

With a cancel-anytime policy and the flexibility to scale campaigns with ease, Social Cat gives brands the tools they need to grow through influencer marketing.

"What was more important for us is building the library of content and putting a lot of eyes on all of our new products rather than the focus being so much on the influencers themselves posting on their socials."

FAQ

What filters can I use to search for influencers on Social Cat?

To find relevant influencers for your brand, you can use filters like engagement rate, hashtags, niche, location, collaboration type (gifted, paid, affiliate) and much more. Start a free, no-commitment trial to see our Search feature in action.

What's your refund policy?

Have a look at our Refund Policy available in our Help Center to learn more.

Influencers apply to work with my brand but I can also search for influencers & invite them to collaborate?

That's right. Influencers can discover your brand and apply to collaborate, and you get to review and accept the ones that fit your needs.

At the same time, you can also search our database of 500,000 influencers, find the perfect match, and send them a personalized invitation to work together.

Can I create campaigns on Social Cat and track collaborations at each step?

Yes, you can create gifted, paid, or affiliate campaigns. Influencers can apply to work with your brand, or you can search and invite them directly to collaborate and then track collaborations at each step.

How can I find an influencer's address?

Influencer addresses are linked to their profiles, making it easy to access them when it's time to ship products.

Are influencer targeting software reviews reliable?

It depends. If these reviews are from verified customers, they are reliable and can be trusted. However, you can also find many unverified reviews online. For example, TrustPilot allows random online users to create a page for a specific product and review it without actually verifying whether that user utilized the product. We wouldn't trust these reviews. The best sources for reviews and use cases are on the brand's website and resources.

What does licensed content mean?

Licensed content allows you to use influencer-generated content across any marketing channel, paid or organic. You also have the right to edit, modify, and repurpose it. However, the influencer retains copyright ownership, meaning that while you can freely use and edit the content, the influencer still legally owns it. They can reuse it for their own purposes or even license it to other brands, unless you have a separate contract granting you exclusive rights. Essentially, you control how you use the content, but the creator still holds legal ownership.

How much should I spend on an influencer marketing platform?

In general, influencer marketing platform pricing varies from tool to tool, depending on their features and the size of their databases. How much you should spend will depend on your budget and goals; for smaller to medium-sized brands without prior experience in Influencer Marketing, we advise starting with affordable tools, offering flexible commitments, and affordable influencers, either gifted or paid. Bigger brands with more experience working with influencers and a bigger budget can opt for more expensive tools, so they should decide based on the features they need and what platform meets their needs.

Are influencer product reviews trustworthy?

Yes, influencer product reviews are trustworthy if they come from verified sources. This means that these reviews must come from real customers or users of a specific product. Most review platforms like TrustPilot or Reviews.io have business integrations and get genuine, verified reviews.
If we refer to product reviews online, we must know that most reviews are paid and put products in a good light. As with any online product, we would like to ask for trials to see if this fits your requirements.

What is the difference between gifted collaborations and product seeding?

Gifted collaborations mean influencers receive a free product in exchange for content, ensuring they promote your brand. Product seeding is sending free products with no obligation for influencers to post, making results less predictable.
