The Challenge
Building and nurturing a strong online presence has become a must for brands aiming to improve their brand awareness. For this brand, it was no different; raising brand awareness and attracting potential customers to discover and experience their product was imperative.
In an increasingly competitive market, capturing the attention and interest of a broad audience can be quite a task.
The Solution
For Unisoy Jerky, what set Social Cat apart from other competitors was the simplicity and formality of our platform, Wing emphasized how the streamlined nature of Social Cat makes connecting with creators easy and hassle-free.
Another plus is our team's unwavering commitment to addressing any issues and ensuring resolutions.
"So far, the platform has been doing well for us. I have researched and analyzed other platforms that are very similar, but I always go back to Social Cat because of the formality of it."
Additionally, this brand underlined the importance of ongoing support, with the Expert Sessions, a feature of our Growth plan, providing insights into the latest improvements and valuable tips.

Comparison with other Influencer Marketing platforms
For this comparison, we'll have a look at three different platforms: Modash, Insense, and Influencity.
For an accurate comparison, we must have an understanding of the following:
- Platform Fees - We're comparing the most popular pricing plans from each platform. Unisoy is on our Growth Plan, the most popular at Social Cat.
- Modash - $299/mo
- Insense - $450/mo (billed quarterly)
- Influencity - $348/mo
- Influencer fees - Since the brand worked with Instagram micro-influencers, we will use this as the main comparison point. However, since Unisoy worked with higher-tier micro-influencers, we'll use a standard fee of $200/post for this comparison.
- $100 - $500 per post
- Content licensing fees - We'll use a standard fee of $100 for content licensing.
- $25 - $250 (this varies depending on placement, type of content, duration, and metrics)
- Product cost (retail price) - We're using the retail price for this comparison since the COGS is approximated.
- $14.5 (retail price is $7.25, but each creator receives two products)
We're comparing the most popular plans on these platforms, and then we'll use higher fees for influencers and licensing fees as a starting point.
Social Cat costs
- Platform fees - $990
- Influencer fees - $0 (gifted collaborations)
- $0 (included in the Growth package)
- Total cost of products - $1,494
- Total cost = $2,484
In the past ten months, for $2,484, Unisoy reached more than half a million unique users on social media by working with influencers from Social Cat. One of the main advantages in this particular case is their subscription to the Growth Plan, which also includes content licensing rights.
On top of raising brand awareness, Unisoy built a pipeline of UGC content that can be used on their marketing channels and materials, solving another pain point brands face: UGC.
The team at Unisoy also attributed a 10% increase in sales to influencers from Social Cat during their latest campaign on the platform, which aligned with Black Friday.
Comparison with Insense
If Unisoy decided to opt in for paid collaborations and Insense, it would end up paying sixteen times more compared with our platform. The comparison is based on a similar type of influencers (micro) and the same time frame.
- Platform fees - $4,500
- Influencer fees - $20,600
- Marketplace fee - $2,060
- Content licensing fees - $10,300
- Total cost of products - $1,494
- Total cost = $39,044
If we decide to compare with the same platform, but this time with product seeding (which Insense does, and it's similar to gifted collaborations), the costs would be $16,294. Social Cat is ten times more affordable, even from a gifted (barter or product seeding) perspective.

Comparison with Influencity
Influencity's comparison is similar to Insense's from a cost perspective. However, other key differences between Social Cat and Influencity must be taken into consideration.
- Platform fees - $3,480
- Influencer fees - $20,600
- Content licensing fees - $10,300
- Total cost of products - $1,494
- Total cost = $35,874

- Platform fees - $2,990

- Total cost = $33,890

Comparison of paid collaborations between platforms
We can argue that we did not consider paid collaborations in the previous comparison with other platforms, so let's look at this scenario as well.
Using the same benchmark fee of $200/post, by working with paid influencers from Social Cat, the final amount would be $23,084, which is still way less than the above fees. The main differentiator here is the fact that UGC licensing is included in the Growth Plan on Social Cat, and there are no marketplace fees.
So even when we compare paid influencers from all the platforms, Social Cat ends up being a more viable option for brands looking to grow.
