Modash alternatives, 2026

Modash alternatives, sorted by why you are leaving.

Modash is a strong creator search tool with published prices. Teams leave it for three reasons: the monthly caps on opened profiles and email unlocks, the step up to the next plan, or the work that starts once the search ends. Here is the best Modash alternative for each, priced from the vendor's own site.

In short

The best Modash alternatives are Heepsy for cheaper search, HypeAuditor for audience-quality checks, GRIN or Upfluence for a fuller program suite, and Collabstr, Insense or QuickAds' Remy if you want creators delivering content without running outreach yourself. Modash Essentials costs $199 a month, billed annually.

Modash limits

What Modash costs, and what the limits buy.

Modash Essentials is $199 a month and Performance $499, both billed annually. Monthly billing costs more: the pricing page shows annual savings of 33% and 17%. Every plan has the same core features, and the price rises with usage limits.

Modash plans with annual price, seats and monthly usage limits.
Plan	Price	Team members	Opened profiles a month	Email unlocks a month	Tracked creators
Essentials	$199/mo, $2,388 a year	2	300	150	100
Performance	$499/mo, $5,988 a year	5	800	400	250
Enterprise	From $14,700 a year	More	More	More	More

What 300 opened profiles means in practice. If you open 30 profiles to shortlist 10 creators for a brief, Essentials covers 10 briefs a month. The 150 email unlocks cap first-touch outreach at 150 creators. Performance adds creator payments and Shopify affiliate payouts, free up to $10,000 a year combined and 5% after that. Billed monthly, the two plans are $299 and $599: Modash's pricing FAQ says annual billing saves $100 a month on both. Modash pricing, read 24 October 2026.

Why teams leave

Why teams look for Modash alternatives.

Teams rarely leave Modash because search is bad. They leave because of metering, the jump to Performance, the three-network scope, or the production work Modash was never built to do.

The meters run out. Heavy discovery months hit the 300-open and 150-unlock limits, and the next step is Performance.
Performance is a $300 a month step. On annual billing it goes from $2,388 to $5,988 a year, mostly to add payments, affiliates and more seats.
Three networks. Modash covers creators with 1K+ followers on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. LinkedIn, X, Twitch and Pinterest need another tool.
Fake-follower scoring is Instagram-only. Modash's help center says fake-follower and audience-credibility scores are not available for TikTok or YouTube profiles.
Search is where it stops. Modash finds, organizes and tracks. The brief, the shoot, the edit and the paid usage rights are still your team's job.

Where Modash genuinely wins

A 380M+ profile index, 37 filters, AI and image search, lookalikes, and creators who already follow you. Published prices, a 14-day trial, monthly or annual billing, a Shopify integration and an AI connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. For a team that searches every day, it is hard to beat on depth.

Alternatives

Eight Modash alternatives, by the reason you are leaving.

If the price or the meters are the problem

2. Collabstr

Best for: skipping the database and hiring creators at posted rates

Pricing: demo-based. HypeAuditor pricing

If you have outgrown search and need a program suite

4. GRIN

Best for: Shopify brands running gifting, affiliate and paid creators at volume

GRIN runs search, outreach through its AI agent Gia, gifting, paid and affiliate campaigns, escrow payouts and content tracking.

If the real gap is the content

7. Insense

Best for: UGC from vetted creators plus partnership ads

Pricing: trial from $650/mo, then $500 or $800 a month billed quarterly. Insense pricing

8. QuickAds Remy

Best for: teams with a good Modash shortlist and nobody to turn it into ads

Remy is our influencer agent, AI assisted and human reviewed. Describe who you want in plain English, or seed it with three creators you like. It searches Instagram, YouTube and TikTok live, negotiates under your cap and returns finished video with usage terms attached.

Standout: priced per booking with the creator fee inside, scripts built from 32M+ ads, and brief to delivery in 5 to 7 days.
Limitation: it is not a research database. If daily searching and audience analytics are the job, keep Modash or Heepsy.
Pricing: UGC video $129, Gold creator $299 (5K to 50K followers), Mega creator $699 (50K to 250K). Platform access on its own is $299 a month. How Remy works

How to choose

Three questions settle it.

How many briefs a month? At under 10, Heepsy or Collabstr cost less than Modash. Above that, Modash's depth pays for itself.
Do you pay creators through the tool? Then compare Modash Performance (0% to $10,000 a year, then 5%) with GRIN (5% to 20% of deposits) at your real spend.
Who turns the shortlist into ads? Count the hours. Our sourcing report puts briefing and review at $150 to $600 of internal time per video. If that time does not exist, a marketplace or Remy changes more than a cheaper database.

Verdict

The short version, by use case.

Cheaper search: Heepsy.
Vetting first: HypeAuditor.
Full program, published price: GRIN. Fixed fee on a 12-month contract: Upfluence.
Outreach volume: Influencer Hero.
Content, not data: Collabstr per gig, Insense for partnership ads, Remy for finished video at a fixed price.
Stay on Modash if your team searches daily and already has the people to brief, film and edit.

Prices rise with usage limits such as opened profiles, email unlocks and tracked creators. Checked 24 October 2026.

What is Modash?

Modash is influencer marketing software for finding, managing, tracking and paying creators. It indexes 380M+ Instagram, TikTok and YouTube profiles with over 1,000 followers, and adds a CRM, an inbox, content tracking, Shopify sales attribution and, on Performance, creator payments and affiliate payouts.

What's better than Modash?

It depends on why you are leaving. Heepsy is cheaper for search, HypeAuditor goes deeper on audience quality, GRIN and Upfluence run fuller programs, and Influencer Hero sends more outreach. If the gap is content, Collabstr, Insense or QuickAds' Remy deliver creator videos instead of data.

Does Modash have a free trial?

Yes. Modash offers a 14-day self-serve trial with limited profile views and email unlocks, so you can test search before paying. Heepsy and GRIN have free plans with no time limit, and Collabstr is free to search and hire with a fee per booking.

Modash vs Upfluence: which should I choose?

Choose Modash for deep self-serve search across 380M+ profiles at a published price with monthly or annual billing. Choose Upfluence for a fixed-fee ecommerce suite with more integrations, if a quoted price and a 12-month minimum contract suit you. Both track Shopify sales and pay creators.

What are the main Modash competitors?

The main Modash competitors are Heepsy, HypeAuditor, Upfluence, GRIN, Influencer Hero, Influencity and Favikon for software, and Collabstr and Insense as marketplaces. QuickAds' Remy competes for teams that want finished creator video at $129 per UGC video rather than a search subscription.

Does Modash check fake followers?

Yes, for Instagram. Modash shows fake-follower and audience-credibility data, and you can filter by fake-follower percentage. Its help center says these scores are currently available for Instagram only, so vet TikTok and YouTube creators another way. Compare views per post against follower count as a second check.

Turn the shortlist into finished ads.

Remy finds the creators, agrees the rate under your cap and returns finished video: $129 for UGC you own, $299 for a Gold creator, $699 for a Mega creator. The creator fee is inside every price.
