Influencer marketplace and content platform
you need a vetted "hand-raised" creator marketplace rather than a cold database.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
#paid publishes pricing, but blocked our automated check — the figures below are third-party reported. Influencer Marketing Hub reports three named tiers — Just Content $499/mo, Grow $699/mo, Advanced $999/mo — up from an earlier $299/$599 rate card it also cites. Capterra separately lists a generic "$449 per feature per month" figure that does not match those named tiers, so treat the exact number with caution until confirmed on a live vendor page.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $499/mo — and a year still comes to $5,988, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.
Third-party reported, not confirmed by #paid · source. Pricing in this category changes often — confirm with the vendor before you commit.
#paid is a marketplace connecting brands with vetted "hand-raised" creators for paid content and whitelisting campaigns, aimed at large-budget brands rather than a bring-your-own roster. Flat pricing is rarely the problem; scope usually is. Why teams still move:
Where #paid charges a flat monthly subscription, 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 #paid leaves you to do by hand.
