Enterprise creator marketing
you need enterprise-grade measurement, governance and brand-safety controls.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
CreatorIQ does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Enterprise-only with no published starting price. Vendr has reported a median contract around $39,250/yr, negotiated annually.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $3,271/mo — and a year still comes to $39,252, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

CreatorIQ is enterprise creator-marketing infrastructure for global brands and large agencies, with deep measurement and governance. The gap between "book a demo" and "see your own data" is where most of these searches begin. Three reasons buyers give:
Where CreatorIQ quotes you a price after a sales call, Sway9 charges on how many creator accounts you track and nothing else. It picks up every TikTok and Instagram post from creators you already work with, refreshes them automatically, and computes spend and effective CPM as the views arrive — the reconciliation CreatorIQ leaves you to do by hand.
