Modash is the database we’d tell most in-house teams to try first. It says it indexes 380M+ public profiles with 1,000 or more followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and the search on top of that is deep: filters on bio, brands, topics, engagement and growth, audience filters on age, gender, location and language, plus AI search, image search, lookalikes and “influential fans” who already follow you.

It’s also one of the few vendors that tells you how its numbers are made. Audience demographics are estimated from a sample of followers, and the credibility score (the share of followers judged real) comes from network analysis plus profile signals, with 0.75 given as the general benchmark. That isn’t proof of accuracy, but it’s more than HypeAuditor or Influencity publish.

Pricing is public: Essentials is $199 a month billed annually or $299 monthly, with 300 opened profiles and 150 email unlocks a month. Those caps are the main complaint in reviews, and the emails are only ones creators list publicly. If you need X, Twitch or LinkedIn, look at HypeAuditor or Favikon instead.

HypeAuditor started in 2017 as a fake-follower checker, and vetting is still why you’d buy it. Each report carries 35+ metrics and an Audience Quality Score, and HypeAuditor claims it detects 95.5% of known fraud activity. Nobody has audited that number, but no rival leans this hard on fraud, and reviewers back it up.

It also covers more ground than Modash: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Twitch, a claimed 226.8M+ accounts, plus market and competitor analysis that suits agencies. The catch is the interface. G2 reviewers say it can feel overwhelming at first, and some say search results need checking by hand.

Buying it is harder than it should be. The pricing page is now a demo form; HypeAuditor’s own blog says Basic starts at $299 a month billed annually, with everything above that quoted. Basic also leaves out AI search, the quality-score filter and advanced audience filters. If you want to try before you sign, Modash is the easier start.

Influship has the best search in this category. It’s semantic, not just natural language: Influship says it tracks billions of facts about tens of millions of creators, so you can search by anything, not only the filters a vendor decided to build. Write a brief in plain English and you get ranked creators back, each with written reasons and the posts that back them up.

Its audience data takes a different approach. Rather than estimating age and gender from a sample of followers, it looks at who actually engages with a creator’s kind of content. Lookalikes and shortlists with CSV export sit alongside, the API adds email lookup, and every customer gets a direct line to its founders and solutions engineers, whatever they spend.

It’s also easy to start: a free forever plan with no card, then unlimited search for $50 a month with extra seats at no cost. It covers Instagram and TikTok, with YouTube coming soon. There’s no fake-follower score, so if fraud checks matter most, pair it with HypeAuditor or Modash.

Heepsy is the cheapest way to do this job properly. There’s a free plan with 500 search results and 10 full profiles a month, and Starter is $69 a month billed annually ($89 monthly) with no lock-in. At the Advanced tier, $229 a month buys 2,000 full profiles with audience data, about $0.11 each, which undercuts everyone else here.

Search covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, with AI, lookalike and text search and 30+ filters, including one for whether a creator has contact details. The audience authenticity and quality-score filters, contact export and creator payments start on Plus at $149 a month. Heepsy doesn’t publish how its authenticity score works.

The trade-off is size. Heepsy claims 20M+ creators, against 380M+ for Modash, so expect thinner results in niche or small markets. There’s no public API either. For a small brand or agency, though, it’s where we’d start.

CreatorIQ is the default for big brands and agencies, and for them it earns its place. Search is content-first: you see what creators actually post, across up to 12 months of content for 20M creators, refreshed daily (vendor says). It covers Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube, and for creators who connect their accounts, CreatorIQ says it gets audience data straight from the platforms.

Vetting is broad too. Audience authenticity tools flag suspicious activity, and SafeIQ, launched in October 2025, adds brand suitability checks across video. CreatorIQ doesn’t publish how its authenticity checks work, so treat them as a screen, not a verdict.

Everything else is enterprise. There are no published prices, procurement data puts contracts at about $30,000 to $60,000 a year, and G2 reviewers report about two months to implement and a real learning curve. If you can’t justify that, Modash, HypeAuditor or Influship do the discovery part for a fraction of the cost.

Influencity is the all-in-one we’d pick if you want everything priced up front. Discover starts at $158 a month billed annually ($198 monthly), Business is $1,118 a month annually, and there’s a 7-day trial with no card. It claims 350 million profiles, with discovery on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, a credibility score and audience quality stats.

Read the limits, though. Full profiles and contacts cost creator-insight tokens, and annual Discover gives you 30 a month, about $5.27 per unlocked profile. Modash works out at about $0.66, and Heepsy can go as low as $0.11. Monthly plans also get fewer results and tokens than annual ones, not just a higher price.

The rest of the suite is broad: CRM, sequences, Shopify sales tracking, creator payments on Business, and social media management tools. It has 292 reviews on G2 averaging 4.5. For a team that will live in one tool all day it’s good value; for pure discovery, Heepsy and Modash give you more profiles for the money, and Influship gives you unlimited semantic search for $50 a month.

Upfluence is an ecommerce tool first and a database second. Its best trick is matching your own customers against its creator data through Shopify and Klaviyo, and it says it’s the only influencer platform with a native Amazon integration. Affiliate codes, one-click product shipping and creator payouts are all built in.

As a search tool it’s thinner. It claims 12M+ creators, against hundreds of millions at Modash and HypeAuditor, and we couldn’t confirm a fake-follower or credibility score. Its API docs also say X post content is no longer supported.

Then there’s the contract. Pricing is quoted by module, the minimum term is 12 months, and Trustpilot rates it 3.0 from 55 reviews, with most one-star reviews about lock-in, billing and lagging data. Buy it if you’re a Shopify or Amazon brand that wants affiliate and gifting in the same place. For discovery alone, Modash or Influship is better and easier to leave.

influencers.club is closer to a sales-prospecting tool than a vetting tool. Its pitch is contacts: verified emails checked against several validation tools, credit-based exports and enrichment, and integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay and Zapier. If your job is to build outreach lists fast, it’s the most direct option here.

The pricing page shows Starter from $140 and Pro with the API from $208 without saying whether that’s monthly or annual; the FAQ says monthly plans need no annual commitment and still mentions a $199 Dashboard plan. It claims 340M+ profiles and verified contacts for all of them; we don’t take that at face value, and nor should you.

What it lacks is vetting. There’s a quality score, but no fake-follower or credibility metric, and audience data sits on the pricier tiers. Trustpilot has only 16 reviews, split between praise for contact accuracy and a complaint about list quality and an unexpected recurring charge. Pair it with a vetting tool, or use Modash, which does both.

Traackr has been doing this since 2009, and its strength is measurement rather than search. Brands like L’Oréal and Coty use it to benchmark share of voice against competitors across 70+ markets, and its own Brand Vitality Score tracks how they’re doing. In September 2026 it added Abigail, an AI strategist that handles discovery and reporting.

As a database it’s hard to judge from outside. Traackr says it searches “millions of creators across all social networks” but publishes no platform list, no database size and no prices. Its coverage boxes show only what we could confirm. It mentions audience quality analysis and brand safety, without saying how they work.

Unless you’re a global brand that needs competitor benchmarking, look elsewhere. CreatorIQ covers the same enterprise ground with more published detail and a better G2 rating, and the self-serve tools above will find you creators for a fraction of the price.

Favikon is the database to use if your creators are on LinkedIn. It’s known for its LinkedIn and B2B creator rankings, and its filters reflect that: job title, company and LinkedIn Top Voice, alongside an AI agent, Favy, that takes plain-English requests. No one else in this ranking offers that.

Outside LinkedIn it’s weaker. It claims 10M+ scored creators, its own pages disagree on whether it covers five platforms or nine, and its AI Authenticity Score only works on LinkedIn and X. For Instagram or TikTok vetting, Modash and HypeAuditor are far better.

Pricing is clear but credit-hungry. There’s a free plan, and Core is €159 a month billed annually (€199 monthly) for 500 credits, where a search result costs 1 and an email 3. Favikon’s own rule of thumb is 300 creators reviewed and 65 emails a month. Buy it for B2B and LinkedIn programmes, not as your main database.
