Social Cat vs Collabstr

Starting Price

Social Cat

Social Cat offers an affordable starting price of $99 per month, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Collabstr

Collabstr pricing starts at ~$299 per month depending on the plan, with a commission-based structure.

Free Trial

Social Cat

Social Cat provides a 7-day free trial, allowing brands to explore the platform before committing.

Collabstr

Collabstr does not offer a free trial, but brands can browse influencers before making payments.

Gifted Collaborations

Social Cat

Social Cat allows brands to send products in exchange for content, guaranteeing a return.

Collabstr

Collabstr supports gifted collaborations, where brands provide products to influencers for content creation.

Licensed Content

Social Cat

Social Cat grants brands a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, modify, and repurpose influencer content for paid and organic marketing while creators retain ownership.

Collabstr

Collabstr does not provide full licensing by default; brands must negotiate terms with influencers.

Is Collabstr worth it?

Social Cat offers brands a structured and cost-effective approach to influencer marketing. With a transparent pricing model and 7-day free trial, brands can fully explore the platform before committing. In contrast, Collabstr only offers a limited freemium version with minimal searches, making it difficult for brands to properly evaluate the platform's capabilities.

Beyond pricing and commitment flexibility, a major differentiator is content licensing. Social Cat provides content licensing by default for all influencer-created content. With Collabstr, brands must negotiate licensing separately with each influencer, typically resulting in higher costs. Given these key differences, Social Cat emerges as the superior choice for brands looking to scale their influencer marketing programs on Instagram and TikTok effectively and efficiently.

FAQ

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.

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 does the replace collaboration feature work?

On Social Cat, you get several monthly collaborations (matches) according to your subscription plan. But if, for some reason, some of them don't work out, you can replace them at no extra cost so you don't lose any of your allocated collaborations each month. This acts like a safety net, allowing you to spend more efficiently.

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.
