What does Klear cost?

Klear does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Klear's own pricing page redirects straight into Meltwater's rate card, which names four tiers (Starter, Pro, Enterprise, Agency) but prices none of them; Meltwater states pricing is "tailored to your goals, the modules you choose, and the scale of your program."

Klear publishes nothing to annualise, so nobody outside a sales call can tell you the twelve-month figure. For reference, twelve months of Sway9 Starter is $264, and you can see that number without speaking to anyone.

  2. You do not need press and media-intelligence bundled with your creator tool
  3. You want your creator spend and CPM calculated automatically, not reported after the fact

Sway9

Track your own roster, pay per view
Free plan, then $22/mo

Where Klear 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 Klear leaves you to do by hand.
