Best for: Small teams: discovery, Stories tracking, competitor monitoring.

Story Story is built for agencies, small brands and social media teams working on Instagram and TikTok. Start from a creator you like and the real-time search engine finds similar profiles, including nano creators with only a few hundred followers. Add any public account, whether a competitor, a creator or an event, and every Story, Reel, post and TikTok it publishes is saved automatically and stays searchable.

Pricing: Starter €49/month, Pro €99, Growth €199, Scale €399. Pay monthly and cancel anytime, or pay yearly and get two months free.

Good to know: Story Story focuses on Instagram and TikTok. It does not cover YouTube.

Best for: Discovery at scale on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Modash is a self-serve discovery platform with a very large creator database across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email unlocks, content tracking and, on higher plans, creator payments and affiliates.

Pricing: Essentials $199/month (2 seats, 300 profile opens), Performance $499/month (5 seats, 800 profile opens), Enterprise from $14,700/year.

Good to know: it is one of the strongest options for pure discovery, but profile opens and seats are limited on the entry plan.

Best for: Low-cost discovery and outreach.

Heepsy is an affordable discovery and outreach tool covering Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, with a light CRM, email sequences and, on higher plans, creator payments.

Pricing: free plan, Starter $89/month, Plus $199/month, Advanced $299/month, about 25% less when billed yearly.

Good to know: great value for finding and contacting creators; it does not archive Stories or monitor competitors.

Best for: E-commerce brands: CRM, Shopify, affiliates.

Upfluence combines a creator database with CRM, e-commerce integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce), affiliate and discount code tracking, and global payouts on its top plan.

Pricing: modular and on quote, with a 12-month minimum commitment. Third-party guides report budgets starting around $1,000+/month.

HypeAuditor is known for its audience analytics and fake follower detection across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus discovery, campaign management and market analysis.

Pricing: not published; you get free tools and request a demo for the paid plans.

Best for: All-in-one with CRM for mid-size teams.

Influencity covers discovery across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitch, a CRM to manage relationships, campaign management, reporting and content monitoring by mentions and hashtags.

Pricing: modular plans billed monthly or yearly, priced through an online calculator.
