The reason people go looking is simpler than a feature gap: there are two plans, and the entry one is already a serious commitment for a team testing the channel. If that is more than the job is worth to you, there is nothing smaller to drop down to.
TL;DR
The short answer: Tokfluence for unlimited analyses on Pro at $99, Modash for the cleanest multi-platform data, Heepsy if price is the constraint.
The plans: Professional, or Enterprise, which is a sales conversation. There is nothing smaller.
What Professional includes: search results, profile analyses and outreach emails, each capped per month. Generous, but still counted.
The caveat: it genuinely covers more networks than we do.
How we put this together
Competitor rows on this page are qualitative: features, platforms, plan structure and who each tool suits. Influencity does not publish its prices; for the other tools, read each vendor's own pricing page for current prices. Our own figures come from our pricing page. Read in September 2026.
The complaints come from public reviews, weighted towards the ones several reviewers raise independently. We build a competing tool, so read the "pick Influencity instead if" line under each entry.
Why do brands look for Influencity alternatives?
The complaints about Influencity are narrow. This is not a page about a bad product; it is a page about a ceiling.
There is no small plan. Professional is the entry point, and the only step from there is Enterprise on a call. For a team testing the channel, the first decision is already a big one.
Everything is still counted. Search results, profile analyses and outreach emails each have a monthly cap. Generous limits, but limits, and reviewers describe working through the analyses on a shortlist.
The interface. Several describe it as unintuitive at first, with one team reporting two weeks before they felt comfortable.
Support responsiveness. Difficulty getting timely help comes up repeatedly, alongside reports of slow loading and occasional bugs.
What Influencity gets right
Two clear plans. Professional, or Enterprise on a call, so the choice is simple.
Multi-platform coverage in one index, and reviewers praise linking several profiles belonging to the same creator.
Campaign management included rather than sold as a separate programme.
A user-friendly interface once you are past the first fortnight.
No plan below Professional, and no free tier.
Profile analyses are capped each month.
Support responsiveness and a reported two-week learning curve.

The 4 best Influencity alternatives, compared
1
Tokfluence
TikTok-first search. Plans from $99 a month.
Who it is for
Anyone who looked at Influencity, found the only self-serve plan was more than they wanted to commit, and wanted something smaller without a sales call.
Pricing
$99 a month on Pro, published on the website, billed monthly, cancel in the app. There is a free plan, and it needs no card. Seats are included: 1 on Pro, 5 on Agency. The API is separate and self-serve from $49 a month.
Where it beats Influencity
Unlimited profile analyses. Influencity Professional caps them each month, which is a real ceiling when you are working a shortlist.
A smaller entry plan: $99 a month on Pro, with 20,000 searches, unlimited profile views and 10,000 credits (1 credit = 1 profile with contact details), against a capped outreach email allowance.
Monthly billing you cancel in the app, and a free plan to start, with no card.
Self-serve plans rather than a plan and a phone call. Influencity offers Professional or Enterprise, which is quote-only. There is nothing smaller.
On-demand crawling when a niche is thin, back in 30 to 60 minutes.
Pick Influencity instead if you genuinely need several networks in one index. Influencity covers more platforms and that is a real reason to stay.
TokfluenceA shortlist shared by link, no login needed for whoever is approving it. Opening and analysing every profile on it costs nothing, because analyses are not metered here.Unlimited analyses in practice: open as many profiles as the shortlist needs without watching a counter.
2
Modash
Best data across three platforms
Who it is for
Teams who need Instagram, TikTok and YouTube in one clean index and found Influencity's data or interface frustrating.
Pricing
Published on their pricing page, with monthly caps on opened profiles and email unlocks on each plan. Enterprise is quoted.
Where it beats Influencity
Published pricing you can read without signing in, and caps you can plan against.
The cleanest multi-platform creator data in this category.
An interface reviewers describe as quick to learn, where Influencity users report a two-week ramp.
Pick Influencity instead if you need campaign management. Modash stops at discovery and hands off.
3
Heepsy
Cheapest entry point
Who it is for
Small teams for whom Influencity's entry price was already the problem.
Pricing
Free plan available. Paid plans are published on their pricing page, billed annually for the list price, with outreach email caps that rise per tier.
Where it beats Influencity
A lower entry price than Influencity, with a genuine free plan.
Every limit published per plan.
Pick Influencity instead if you need depth. Heepsy is thinner on data and its advanced filters sit on higher tiers.
4
GRIN

Who it is for
Brands who need seeding, creator payments and affiliate links rather than analysis credits.
Pricing
Published and credit-metered, with a free plan and paid tiers listed on their pricing page. Overage is billed per credit. Seats unlimited.
Where it beats Influencity
A free tier with no trial clock, so you can evaluate before committing anything.

Which Influencity alternative should you pick?
Professional is more than the job is worth: $99 a month on Pro, with unlimited profile views.
You want to pay month to month: $99 a month on Pro, cancel in the app, and a free plan to start.
You need the cleanest multi-platform data: Modash.
Price is the main constraint: Heepsy, free plan included.
You need seeding and payments: GRIN.
Stay on Influencity if
You genuinely work across several networks and need them in one index.
Campaign management inside the same tool matters more than the analysis cap.
Professional's monthly caps on results and analyses genuinely cover your volume, which for a steady programme they may.
You are past the learning curve and the team is productive in it.
The verdict
Influencity is a decent platform with an entry plan that does not quite fit the people it is sold to. Small teams are exactly the ones who need to analyse a lot of creators to find a few good ones, and a monthly analysis cap is tight when you are still learning what good looks like.
If multi-platform coverage is the reason you are there, stay: that is real and we do not match it. If you are there for creator discovery and keep bumping into a counter, unlimited analyses on Pro at $99 a month behave like the tier above Influencity's entry plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Influencity alternative?
If Professional is more than the job is worth, Tokfluence is $99 a month on Pro with unlimited analyses and profile views. If you need three platforms with the cleanest data, Modash. If price is the binding constraint, Heepsy has a real free plan.
How much does Influencity cost in 2026?
Influencity does not publish its prices: you get a quote on request or after a demo. Checked in September 2026, there are two plans. Professional has monthly caps on search results, profile analyses (with email where it exists) and outreach emails, plus segmentation lists, unlimited stored proposals and a limited number of stored projects. Enterprise is quote-only with unlimited usage.
Does Influencity have a free plan?
Not that it publishes. Influencity sells through a quote or a demo, and its site lists no free tier. GRIN and Heepsy both have permanent free plans if that matters to how you work.
Why do people look for Influencity alternatives?
Mostly the entry point. There is no plan below Professional, so a team testing influencer marketing has to commit at that level or not at all. Beyond price, reviewers describe the interface as unintuitive at first, with one team reporting two weeks before they were comfortable, and support responsiveness comes up repeatedly.
Is Influencity good for small teams?
It is marketed to them and priced above most of them. Professional is a real commitment for a small team, and there is no smaller plan to start on. If you are a small team, the useful question is whether you will use the campaign management and reporting that make up much of that price, or only the search.
