# Best AI Agents for Influencer Marketing

Software for influencer marketing: agents that operate a creator campaign, and tools for search, vetting, and the relationship record. These are products, not creators you can hire here. If you need the video rather than the audience, use the UGC category.

8 products. Prices and descriptions last checked 5 October 2026.

This list is for creator programs and audience. If you need the video and the follower count does not matter, use the UGC list. That list includes synthetic video tools that are not here.

## Pricing, features, and summaries

1

### UGCBloom

Running human-creator influencer work from brief to payout

UGCBloom covers source, outreach, negotiation, video review, contracts, and payouts. The published price is 30% of creator payouts rather than a seat. Modash and GRIN fit teams that want to search a database and run the deals themselves. Synthetic video is on the UGC page.

What users say

Jesus Malo at Marblism says the team hired UGCBloom to test new content at scale. Josh Levine at Manychat says it finds and contracts creators for campaigns in several markets, including Portuguese and Spanish. Guillermo Guimaraes at Myndlab says a brand-awareness trial matched them with English-speaking tech creators who kept their own style.

None of these quotes names a drawback.

- “We hired UGCBloom to help test new content at scale. Creators are much more creative about videos than us internally, so this is a great way for us to get new content that we can then use in our paid marketing to find cheap well-performing creatives.”ugcbloom.com · Jesus Malo, Marblism

- “We use UGCBloom to find and contract creators for our UGC campaigns across several markets, including Portuguese and Spanish-language campaigns. Creators bring ideas we wouldn't come up with internally, and UGCBloom handles the sourcing and contracts so our team can focus on the creative.”Josh Levine, Manychat

- “We ran a brand awareness trial with UGCBloom to get English-speaking tech creators with a comedy and satire style talking about Myndlab. Most of the creators they recommended were a good fit for us, and they let each creator keep their natural style, which is exactly what we wanted.”Guillermo Guimaraes, Myndlab

### GRIN

An in-house creator CRM you can start free

GRIN is a system of record for creator programs, with Gia's Desk as the AI layer on paid plans and a real free plan. It scores above Modash on controls, integrations, and access, and below it on pure discovery. Buy GRIN when the pain is the program. Buy Modash when the pain is the search box.

What users say

Capterra reviewers describe GRIN as easy to set up for daily creator search, with Shopify reporting and a support team that jumps on calls.

The same page describes a payments flow that is slow when many campaigns are live, tracking hiccups, and a 2022 review that calls the software glitchy with weak support.

- “Grin was very easy to set up in use. Within weeks we had a few campaigns up and running and it’s something we use daily to find nee influencers to receive free product and promote our brand.”Capterra · Lior O.

- “Sometimes there a hiccups in tracking conversions but the Grin support response time is unbelievably quick and they are always eager to hop on zoom to talk through the issue and provide updates while they fix problems as well.”Capterra · Chelsea F.

- “Our only dislike of GRIN's software is the payments system. Being that we are running 30+ campaigns at a given time, it's extremely cumbersome to go into each campaign and pay our influencers.”Capterra

- “It was way too glitchy and underdeveloped. Customer support typically did not resolve issues.”Capterra · Kristen L.

### Heepsy

Searching creators on a published price

Heepsy has a free plan, then Starter at $69 a month billed annually. Search covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. You still run outreach. It is the row for discovery, not for handing off the whole program.

What users say

The Heepsy reviews that could be copied in full from Trustpilot are complaints, so this page has no verified praise quote.

Those reviews describe stale profiles, a tight limit on outreach emails, a high monthly price, and a cancellation flow that kept charging.

- “The platform is crap. It looks like they have just scraped social media profiles without any discernment or vetting.”Trustpilot

- “It's garbage! It's totally unusable. I can't grab emails to send in bulk. I can only send 2 invitation emails to 24 users.”Trustpilot

- “Very shady cancellation practice. I canceled my subscription over a year ago and found out they were still building me because you have to go through several confirmation screens.”Trustpilot

### Modash

Searching and evaluating creators yourself

Modash has the best discovery fit after UGCBloom's full-workflow score. Autonomy is a copilot 8: you drive it. Essentials is $299 a month, or $199 if you pay yearly, and the meters on opens and unlocks are part of the cost. It does not replace an agent that runs negotiations.

What users say

Shopify merchants say the search filters find creators who fit the brand, and that campaign tracking pulls content and metrics into one place.

One reviewer still drafts contracts outside the app. Another said the entry plan did not cover large gifting and monitoring.

- “What I like most about Modash is how easy it is to see and manage everything in one place.”Shopify App Store · PERGOLUX UK

- “Modash's discovery features alone makes it worth it — the search filters are genuinely powerful, and I can find creators who actually fit my brand rather than just scrolling through suggested lists hoping something clicks.”Shopify App Store · Velvet Hammer

- “While the platform is seamless for discovery and payments, I do wish it had a built-in contract builder to avoid the manual back-and-forth of emailing PDFs outside the app.”Shopify App Store · The Cut Buddy

- “The only downside is that the entry level pricing didn't give us the amount of usage we needed to do large gifting / monitoring without upgrading.”Shopify App Store · AUREA

### Upfluence

Search plus CRM under a custom contract

Upfluence is the enterprise-shaped search and CRM, especially where Shopify matters. Access is a 3 because the price is a conversation. Rank it when you already know you want one vendor for search and the relationship record and you are not trying to start this week.

What users say

Trustpilot reviews credit named onboarding staff and say an agency has used the tool for years to source creators, run outreach, and pay them.

Other reviews say an API they bought never worked reliably, support went quiet after the contract, and getting out of the subscription was hard.

- “Make sure you request Lana for onboarding if you want the best experience and tips for influencer campaigns.”Trustpilot

- “We've been using Upfluence for 4 years now a social media agency and the tool works like a gem. We are based in Asia and it works well here too.”Trustpilot · Xavier

- “I spent roughly $5,000 on an Upfluence package specifically because of their API capabilities. During the sales process, the API was presented as a core feature and the primary reason I chose their platform.”Trustpilot · BTheory_Startups

- “I was sceptical going in.They use all the usual buzzwords to draw you in.They fail to inform you that you need to pay them large amounts to get limited returns.”Trustpilot

### Collabstr

Hiring opted-in creators from a marketplace

Collabstr's free plan lets you search and hire, with a 10% fee on the order. Pro is $249 a month billed annually and adds one campaign post a month. Escrow pays the creator after you approve the work.

What users say

Creators on Trustpilot say the marketplace is easy to use, that they landed paid work quickly, and that payouts came through.

One review says some vendors do not honor the posted rate or do not check incoming offers.

- “Love this app so far! Brand new to the app and have already gotten jobs. The people are lovely to work with and overall it’s been great!”Trustpilot

- “We got our first paid influencer deal through Collabstr. It's a simple, easy-to-use platform.”Trustpilot

- “Solid product platform, responsive account management, and an active marketplace: what more could you want?”Trustpilot

- “Some of these vendors don't honor the deal they have listed or want more money for it than is posted.”Trustpilot

Collabstr pricing and features/Collabstr alternatives

### HypeAuditor

Checking audience quality before you pay

HypeAuditor is a vetting tool. Job fit is real and narrower than a campaign agent, which is why it sits here and not at the top. Pricing is a demo, so we do not print a monthly number. Use it before a large creator contract, not as the system that runs the campaign.

What users say

Some Trustpilot reviews say the database and keyword search find niche creators that took hours to locate by hand on Instagram and YouTube.

Other reviews say reports were thin, a cancellation still produced a charge, and a sales call was unhelpful.

- “HypeAuditor has been a great help for us. Their database is huge, and with the keyword and AI search features, we can find even very niche and specific creators that match our exact requirements.”Trustpilot

- “Before we started working with Hypeauditor, we had to spend several hours a day searching directly on Instagram and YouTube for collaborators and their contact details.”Trustpilot

- “HypeAuditor team doesn't honor contract terms or cancellation requests. Once they have your credit card on file, they will charge regardless if you've requested cancellation or not.”Trustpilot

- “Their influencer reports are absolutely useless and show almost no data and something that I can get for free in any other tool.”Trustpilot

### Clay

Enriching a list you already have

Partial fit. Clay can research and enrich a sheet of creators or brand partners. It is not influencer software. It is here so a team that already owns Clay can see the ceiling.

## What is AI influencer marketing?

AI influencer marketing software finds creators, keeps the relationship, and sometimes runs outreach through to payment. It is software. It is not a list of creators you can hire from this website.

An AI influencer marketing platform can be a search tool, a CRM, or a workflow that sources and pays people. Those are different products. An AI agent for influencer marketing, in the sense of software that moves a campaign from brief to payout, is the narrowest of the three.

## How an AI influencer marketing platform works

Modash and Heepsy are search. You look up creators, check an audience, and export a list. GRIN is the creator CRM, with a free plan and a paid Starter tier. Upfluence and HypeAuditor are sales-led. HypeAuditor is the audience-quality check. Collabstr is a marketplace: you hire an opted-in creator and pay through escrow, plus a hiring fee.

UGCBloom is the workflow from brief through review and payout. It has the highest score on this page because that full motion is the job.

## Features of AI tools for influencer marketing

Separate discovery, the relationship record, and the payout. Buying one does not give you the other two.

- Creator search or a campaign workflow a person can approve

- A record of the relationship, the brief, and the content

- A price you can read, or a clear statement that the price is custom

## Benefits of an AI agent for influencer marketing

You can tell a search seat from a program that pays creators, and you can see which vendors hide the price.

- Separate finding creators from running the program

- Check audience quality before a large contract

- See which products publish a price and which ask for a demo

## Who uses AI influencer marketing software

In-house brand teams and agencies running creator programs. If you need the video and the follower count does not matter, use the UGC category. That list includes synthetic video tools that are not here.

Heepsy and Collabstr are the self-serve additions. Enterprise suites without a published price are not on this page.

## AI influencer marketing pricing

UGCBloom charges 30% of creator payouts, not a seat. GRIN has a free plan, then Starter at $200/mo. Modash Essentials is $299/mo, or $199/mo billed yearly. Upfluence and HypeAuditor do not publish a self-serve price. Heepsy Starter is $69/mo billed annually, with a free plan. Collabstr is free to hire from, then Pro at $249/mo billed annually, plus a hiring fee.

Collabstr's free and Pro plans add a 10% fee on the creator order. Premium drops that fee to 5% at $333/mo billed annually. Last checked 5 October 2026.

## How to choose an AI influencer marketing platform

Choose UGCBloom if you want the sourcing-to-payout work handled, with you approving it. Choose Modash or Heepsy if you want to search yourself. Choose GRIN if you need the CRM and a free start. Choose Collabstr if you want to hire from a marketplace this week. Choose HypeAuditor when the risk is a fake audience.

Skip this page if you want an AI actor. That is UGC.
