Although the first tools focused on influencer search and discovery, more recent tools have added additional features such as Relationship Management, Campaign Management, an Influencer Marketplace, Third Party Analytics, and Influencer Content Amplification.

Analisa Analisa is different from most of the influencer marketing software tools covered here because it places its focus purely on collecting, analyzing, and interpreting influencer data. This means that even small businesses who can’t afford a full influencer marketing solution can at least access relevant analysis of influencer performance. There are two kinds of reports you can run with Analisa. Running an @Account report can give you in-depth analysis on an influencer’s profile and activity, while #Hashtag reports can be used to monitor campaigns. For each report, you’ll get a variety of analytics to help you gain deeper understandings of the subject. The #Hashtag report allows you to see which influencers performed the best, and which ones you’ll probably want to pass on next time around. Key Features: Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Fake Follower/Fraud Detection, Channels: Instagram, TikTok VIEW 5. Dovetale Dovetale’s first listed tool encourages brands to start with research.

HypeAuditor There’s no discovery or campaign management to find here. HypeAuditor is a vast database powered by artificial intelligence that’s indexed nearly 3 million Instagram profiles so far and continues to grow every day. It provides sufficient analytics to avoid fraud ID, but the analytics go deeper than that, giving brands and agencies very detailed insights into influencers and their audiences. HypeAuditor is focused on audience quality. There are 28 different metrics and scores, giving users a thorough understanding of who they’re dealing with. It all starts with the Audience Quality Score (AQS). Unlike most influencer tools, HypeAuditor works on a Pay-As-You-Go model, no subscription required. You pay for tokens up front, and each token gets you one influencer report. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, White Label Reporting, Fake Follower/Fraud Detection, Channels: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter VIEW 7. HYPR HYPR takes a data first approach to influencer marketing. It tracks over a billion social media users every week to generate a “living and breathing” index – one that updates regularly so that you can see which influencers impact which audiences now. The front-end for HYPR sits atop a massive database of 12 million influencers. HYPR’s team of software engineers and data scientists built sophisticated algorithms to parse through billions of social media posts and index all the information they can collect. HYPR has continued to innovate, introducing tools that focus on automation, including: influencer list creation, audience overlap, audience quality measurement, historical content scan to discover racism, nudity and other, audience targeting by DMA, automated outreach and campaign opt-in, performance tracking with audience demographics and per post anti-fraud technology, and automated payments. HYPR says its end game is full automation from A-Z. Key Features: Influencer Search & Discovery, Influencer Outreach and Engagement, Performance Tracking with Audience Demographics and Conversion Attribution, Global Influencer Payment, Fraud Detection and Audience Health, Channels: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest VIEW 8. Ifluenz Ifluenz operates as an Instagram influencer marketplace. Their chief differentiator is that the vetting process doesn’t stop once an influencer has been accepted onto the platform. Built into the tool is an algorithm that monitors each influencer account to look for irregularities—like sudden spikes in followers and engagement—that could be indicators of fraud. Ifluenz has one of the cleanest, more attractive interfaces we’ve seen. It was designed so that it could be used by absolute beginners with as small a learning curve as possible. You log in, complete your business’s profile, and then you’re walked through the campaign setup process. Key Features: Influencer Marketplace, Content Review, Content Library, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Fake Follower/Fraud Detection, Payment Processing, Influencer Content Amplification, Channels: Instagram VIEW 9. Influencer Influencer is robust and impressive, with plenty of tools to help marketers manage their influencer campaigns from start to finish. By branding themselves as a company run by Generation Z creators, Influencer became more attractive to influencers. Because Influencer is managed by its creators, it is not yet global. It is UK-based, with an emphasis on Europe. It collects much data, with a focus on the psychographics of audiences and creators, showing brand affinities, interests, and hobbies. Key Features: Influencer Marketplace, Search/Discovery, Influencer Marketplace, Team Collaboration Tools, Content Review, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Forms and Compliance, Channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube VIEW 10. Julius Julius has grown from a purpose-built influencer discovery engine to a full-fledged self-service marketing suite. There are nearly 120,000 vetted influencers in its database. They offer influencer search and discovery, influencer relationship management, and influencer analytics. Julius has built a robust suite of campaign management tools. It is now all-in-one, appealing to both brands and agencies. Unlike other search platforms, you pay an annual fee for Julius—there is no monthly option. The specific price you’ll pay depends on the number of users you want to give access to the software. Each case is different. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Influencer Relationship Management, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Forms/Compliance, Channels: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitch, TikTok, Snapchat VIEW 11. Klear Klear grew out of Twtrland as a way to discover influential users and learn about their audiences. Although it began with just Twitter, before long, it had added Facebook and Instagram. They have about 900 million influencers in their database. Klear divides these influencers into over 60,000 topic categories and offers deep analytics about their audiences’ demo- and psychographics. Over time they’ve added campaign management and tracking, along with some basic listening tools to monitor competitors. Klear is ahead of the game on many levels: its interface is dynamic, easy to look at, and responsive; the data they offer is as robust and deep as you can possibly get at this point; the “Monitors” feature is a fantastic research tool in its own right, but also enhances discovery; that enhancement means influencer discovery manages to somehow be quick, painless, and accurate despite having an abundance of choice available on the platform. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Content Review, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Social Listening, Competitor Research, Channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs VIEW 12. Lefty Lefty has all the looks of an influencer marketplace that’s trying to refine the idea of what a marketplace can be. Like a true discovery tool, Lefty’s influencers are found by algorithms that comb through Instagram, indexing all the accounts that meet the minimum reach of 3,500 + followers. This data is monitored and updated in real time, and their AI engine categorizes the content and indexes the profiles of 5 million influencers. The best part of sorting this way is that the platform tells you why the influencers being displayed are relevant. The Seeding service, included in the Pro plan and above, streamlines the process of getting your product out to influencers who can then review it or feature it in a post. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Influencer Marketplace, Team Collaboration Tools, Content Review, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Competitor Research, Channels: Instagram, YouTube VIEW 13. Mavrck The idea behind Mavrck cleverly flips the usual process on its head: instead of finding influencers to get us more customers, we find customers and turn them into influencers. Mavrck works by connecting with your existing digital presences. You can set up a white-labeled standalone microsite or use it as a plugin with your current website, mobile app, and even email newsletter. Customers log in to your site using their Facebook profile, at which point Mavrck grabs all the public and opt-in data associated with the account. The customer’s influence is measured by all the standard metrics for reach and engagement. At this point, a determination is made about how influential this customer might be and is automatically activated into a campaign that he/ she’s qualified for. All that content the influencers create on your behalf is designed to get people back to your site to register or buy something. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Influencer Relationship Management, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, E-commerce Tools, Channels: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest,TikTok, Twitter, Twitch, Blogs VIEW 14. Narrators Narrators is an influencer marketplace, focusing on Facebook and Instagram, that also offers campaign management and third-party analytics. Narrators sets itself apart from its competitors with its user interface and the behind-the-scenes process of recruiting talent. Anything involving data—or the analysis of data—is presented in an entirely user-friendly way. Influencer profiles are data rich but clear and easy to understand. The same can be said for post-campaign analytics. Narrators built its database of influencers through active recruitment, ensuring that they were good fits for the geographical areas they serve.

You can then refine your search results using a variety of demographic and psychographic factors. The interface is clean, and working with search results is all straightforward, even with the wealth of information attached to each profile. NeoReach isn’t just a search engine, though. It also includes all the campaign management tools you need to keep up with your marketing efforts. The platform acts as a centralized communications hub.

Key Features: Campaign Management, Search/Discovery, Influencer Relationship Management, Team Collaboration Tools, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Forms and Compliance, Channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat VIEW 16. Open Influence One of Open Influence’s key differentiators is its emphasis on images. Open Influence’s AI uses image recognition to label images with descriptors, all of which become searchable. By having the AI label, the content directly, it’s a much shorter route to find what you’re looking for. Open Influence does a great job of turning style into something you can search for. Functionally, the software is fluid and intuitive—every feature and bit of data is always close at hand. As it’s priced now, Open Influence is not a tool for small businesses. However, at the Enterprise level, Open Influence is a real winner. Key Features: Search/Discovery, Content Review, Content Library, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Visual Discovery, Channels: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, Blogs VIEW 17. Peg Peg’s sole focus is on YouTube. It is now a fully functional, influencer marketing platform that aims to do things differently. Peg’s focus is on quality over quantity, which never happens quickly, and so subscriptions are sold on either a six- or twelve-month basis. Peg does a lot of the same things that the marketplaces do. You navigate around and see that you have the option of searching for influencers, creating and managing campaigns, inviting influencers to participate, messaging influencers, etc. However, Peg only works with 33,000 influencers, who meet its stringent criteria. Peg works in the background parsing all influencers’ content and assigning them a “Safety Score.” Key Features: Search/Discovery, Influencer Relationship Management, Influencer Marketplace, Team Collaboration Tools, Content Review, Campaign Management, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Channels: YouTube VIEW 18. Stellar Stellar is, at its heart, a productivity app that you can use as the foundation for multi-million-dollar influencer marketing campaigns. The tool’s goal is replacing those old spreadsheets that people use to organize their influencers. There are three different sections of the tool to navigate to: Influencers, Groups, and Reports. The first section, Influencers, is where you can add your influencers. This isn’t a discovery tool. It assumes you’ve already got a list of influencers. Once you’ve got your influencers all added in, you can then start to organize them into groups. You can also add influencers to groups in the Groups section. The final section, Reports, is what seals the deal in favor of Stellar. You’ll primarily run reports on your own campaigns, but there’s nothing to stop you from monitoring your competitors, too. Key Features: Influencer Relationship Management, Team Collaboration Tools, Content Library, Campaign Reporting, Influencer Analysis, Audience Analysis, Fake Follower/Fraud Detection, Competitor Research, Channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Blog, TikTok VIEW 19.
