Where Hypetap is still the better choice
The contract is the product for some buyers, and Hypetap is the stronger pick when the job is one of these:
A curated, invite-only creator network rather than an open marketplace
Content, distribution and paid amplification offered in one place
An agency option for brands that want campaigns run for them
Proprietary technology for campaign execution and reporting
If that is the software you are actually shopping for, Hypetap is the better buy and nothing on this page should talk you out of it.
