Managed influencer marketing
you need full-service campaign strategy and creator negotiation, not just software.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Linqia does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Linqia publishes no rate card and prices each program individually; a third party reports figures starting near $25,000 per campaign rather than a monthly fee, a number Linqia itself does not confirm.
Linqia 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.
Third-party reported, not confirmed by Linqia · source. Pricing in this category changes often — confirm with the vendor before you commit.
Linqia is a managed influencer marketing agency and platform combining an AI-assisted tool (Resonate) with full-service campaign strategy, negotiation and measurement for enterprise brands. Enterprise procurement is the real cost here, not the licence fee. The switching triggers we hear:
Where Linqia 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 Linqia leaves you to do by hand.
