Influencer discovery and campaign management
you need human-analyst review layered on top of algorithmic influencer discovery across 8+ platforms.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Julius does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Julius publishes no rate card. G2 reviewers report an annual entry point around $20,000/yr; GetApp separately lists a $24,000 starting price. Julius prices annually only, scaled to the number of users needing access, with no monthly option reported.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $1,667/mo — and a year still comes to $20,004, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

Julius is an influencer marketing platform combining algorithmic discovery with human-analyst review across eight-plus social platforms, sold to brands and agencies on annual contract. The first number you hear will not be the last one. Why teams keep looking:
Where Julius 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 Julius leaves you to do by hand.
