The best Modash alternative depends on what you meter. For TikTok-first teams, Tokfluence Pro is $99 a month with 10,000 email reveals a month and unlimited profile views, while Modash meters unlocked creator emails per plan. If you need Instagram and YouTube in one index today, Modash is still the stronger fit.
Last updated
Modash is a good creator search tool. The reason people go looking for something else is almost always the same: the monthly caps run out before the month does. Here are nine alternatives, how each one prices, what each one is actually for, and when you should stay where you are.
TL;DR
The short answer: Tokfluence if your campaigns are TikTok, GRIN if you need the whole creator programme rather than search, Heepsy if price is the constraint.
Why people leave: Modash meters profile views and email reveals by the month, and that is what runs out first.
The price: Modash meters opened profiles and email unlocks on every plan. Several of the nine here are cheaper to start with, Tokfluence Pro included at $99 a month.
The caveat: no two of these tools do the same job. Match the pick to the reason you started looking, not to whoever lists the most features.
How does Tokfluence compare with Modash on published facts?
Every competitor entry below is read from that vendor's own public page, checked 31 October 2026. We do not repeat their prices or plan limits; their own pages have the current ones. Where a vendor does not publish something, the cell says so.

Ultra Search: TikTok on every plan; Instagram and YouTube coming soon
Worth saying up front, because most lists like this do not. We checked each vendor's own site in September 2026. We do not quote competitor prices or plan allowances here, because they change often and several vendors only share them on a sales call. Instead we say how each one prices and where to look. The complaints are taken from public reviews on G2 and Trustpilot, weighted towards the ones that several reviewers raise independently. The Tokfluence numbers come from our own pricing page.
What we did not do is run paid trials of all nine. We build one of these tools, so treat the ranking as informed rather than neutral, and use the "pick them instead if" line under each entry. Those are the honest ones.
Why do brands look for Modash alternatives?
Four complaints come up again and again across review sites, and they are not the same complaint dressed differently.
The monthly caps. Essentials caps both opened profiles and email unlocks every month. A single serious search session can eat a real share of that, and the counter does not care that you were only checking.
Outreach is thin. There is a CRM, but reviewers describe it as light, with low email sending limits and no approval workflows.
The job mostly ends when the creator publishes. You get engagement figures, and tracked creator content is itself capped on Essentials. Teams that need to report back to a client, or tie a post to revenue, end up exporting into something else.
The entry price. Essentials is a real commitment, and the advertised rate is the discounted annual one. For a first campaign it is a lot to commit before you know whether the channel works.
What Modash gets right
A comparison page that cannot say this is not worth reading. Modash is a strong product, and it earns that.
Creator discovery. The filters are genuinely good and the data behind them is clean.
Audience analysis. Demographics and reachability on every profile, not as an upsell.
Fraud detection. Follower authenticity checked before you brief anyone.
Three platforms in one index, and contact details included rather than sold separately.
Profile views and email unlocks are capped by month on every plan.
Outreach and CRM are light, with low sending limits.
The job largely ends when the creator publishes. Tracked content is capped too.
The API is sold separately, at annual enterprise pricing.
All nine alternatives at a glance
Checked against each vendor's site in September 2026. We do not list competitor prices: they change often, and several vendors only quote on a sales call. Where a vendor publishes its pricing we say so, so you know where to look.
The third column is the one that decides whether you can actually do the job. Finding creators is not the work. Contacting them is, and every tool here meters that differently: contact reveals, export credits, or outreach emails sent. Several will not tell you the allowance until you are on a call, which is worth knowing before you book one.

The 9 best Modash alternatives, compared
1
Tokfluence
Best for TikTok-first brands
Who it is for
Brands and agencies whose campaigns run on TikTok, who got tired of watching a monthly profile-view counter tick down.
Pricing
Pro is $99 a month. Cancel any time. There is a free plan, and it needs no card. API and MCP access is not included in Pro.
Where it beats Modash
Unlimited profile views on Pro, with 20,000 searches a month on Pro.
10,000 email reveals a month, against a capped number of email unlocks on Modash Essentials.
Pro is a single seat. Existing Agency subscriptions are a legacy plan and are not offered to new customers.
If a creator is not in the index, we crawl the niche on demand and return the list in 30 to 60 minutes.
Campaign tracking is included rather than capped. Add posts by URL in bulk, get views, engagement and cost-per-view, and share the report by link with no login. Modash caps tracked creator content on Essentials.
We publish an MCP server, so AI assistants can query the index and build a shortlist in conversation.
Pick Modash instead if you want discovery and an outreach inbox in the same window. We deliberately did not build one. We reveal the contact details and export clean data into the sequencer or CRM you already use, which is the right call if you have those tools and the wrong one if you do not.
Searching the index in plain language. The query runs against the Tokfluence TikTok index and each result carries follower count, engagement rate, average views and a verified contact email where we have one. No counter ticks down as you open profiles.
2
GRIN
Best all-round replacement
Who it is for
DTC and Shopify brands running product seeding, affiliate links and creator payments as one ongoing programme rather than one-off campaigns.
Pricing
Published and credit-metered: a free plan with monthly credits, then paid tiers above it, all listed on their pricing page. Overage is metered per credit, with a cap you set.
Where it beats Modash
It covers the part Modash leaves to you: CRM, product seeding, content collection, payments and affiliate tracking in one system.
Pricing is published. You can size a plan without booking a call.
The free tier is a real plan with no trial clock, not a trial window.
Pick Modash instead if all you actually need is search. GRIN is a creator-management system, and you will pay for workflow you are not using.
3
Upfluence
Best for ecommerce at scale
Who it is for
Larger ecommerce teams that want discovery, outreach, affiliate and attribution under one contract, and have the budget to negotiate one.
Pricing
Quote only. Modular, priced by the modules you pick, your team size and programme volume. Annual plans carry a full-year minimum, and the free trial is set up after an initial call.
Where it beats Modash
End-to-end workflow, where Modash stops at discovery and hands off.
Deep ecommerce integrations, with attribution tied back to sales rather than engagement.
Pick Modash instead if you need to know the price before you invest several meetings in finding it out, or you are not ready to sign for a full year.
4
HypeAuditor
Best for audience fraud checks
Who it is for
Teams whose main worry is not finding creators but paying the wrong one. Fraud detection is the product, not a feature bolted on the side.
Pricing
Not published: you request a demo, and plans are billed annually. There is limited free access to media plans and demo versions of the paid modules.
Where it beats Modash
Audience quality analysis goes deeper than most of this list, which is the whole reason the tool exists.
Fraud scoring is applied consistently across the database rather than on request.
Pick Modash instead if you mostly need volume of search. You are paying a premium for analytical rigour you may only use on a shortlist.
5
Influencity
Credible multi-platform option for small teams
Who it is for
Small teams that genuinely need more than one platform and cannot justify Modash's entry plan.
Pricing
Not published: quote or demo on request. Their pricing page lists no prices and points you to a demo.
Where it beats Modash
Multi-platform coverage for small teams that need more than one network.
Pick Modash instead if you want to see the price before you talk to sales. Modash lists its plans on its pricing page, and Influencity does not publish its own.
6
Heepsy
Best on a tight budget
Who it is for
Anyone running their first campaign who needs to find creators this week and cannot sign off Modash's entry price to do it.
Pricing
A free plan with a limited number of search results and advanced profiles, then paid tiers on annual billing, listed on their pricing page. A free trial covers almost all paid features with no card.
Where it beats Modash
A much lower entry price than Modash for the search half of the job.
The free plan is permanent, so you can test the database before paying anything.
Pick Modash instead if you need depth. The profile data is thinner than Modash and the caps arrive quickly once you are searching seriously.
7
Collabstr
Best for hiring creators directly
Who it is for
Brands that would rather buy a deliverable than run a discovery-then-outreach process. You browse listings, you book, the creator delivers.
Pricing
Free to browse, with a service fee added to each order. Paid plans add campaigns and post analytics and lower the fee; see their pricing page.
Where it beats Modash
There is no outreach step. Creators have listed themselves and priced their work.
Nothing to pay until you actually hire someone.
Pick Modash instead if you want the whole creator universe. You can only reach people who chose to list on the marketplace, which is a fraction of what a crawled index holds.
8
Aspire
Best for enterprise campaign operations
Who it is for
Brands with an always-on creator programme, a dedicated team, and approval and content-rights workflows that need to be auditable.
Pricing
Quote only, on an annual commitment. No free plan and no free trial: the tool is sold to teams already running a programme.
Where it beats Modash
Approval workflows and content rights management, both named as gaps in Modash.
Managed services available alongside the software.
Pick Modash instead if you are still testing whether influencer marketing works for you. There is no way to try it cheaply.
9
CreatorIQ
Best for Fortune 500 programmes
Who it is for
Global brands and large agencies with large creator budgets, multiple markets and a procurement process.
Pricing
Annual contract only, no monthly plans, nothing published. Expect an enterprise contract sized to your programme.
Where it beats Modash
Governance, measurement and multi-market reporting at a scale Modash does not attempt.
Integrations and data warehousing built for teams with analysts.
Pick Modash instead if your creator spend is still modest. The platform is built for a scale of operation that would otherwise be paying for itself.

The last two rows are choices, not gaps.

The full breakdown, including the API pricing gap, is on the Tokfluence vs Modash page.
Which Modash alternative should you pick?
Pick by the thing that made you start looking, not by the longest feature list. The useful question is usually how mature the programme is. Modash is built for the early stage, where the job is finding people. What changes as a programme grows is that discovery stops being the hard part, and the tool you need is the one that covers whatever came next for you.
The caps ran out and you are TikTok-first: Tokfluence, $99 a month on Pro, unlimited profile views.
Search was never the problem, the programme was: GRIN.
You run Shopify and need seeding, discount codes and sales attribution wired in: GRIN, or Upfluence if the store is bigger than the team.
You need to know what happened after the post went live: Tokfluence for the tracking, Aspire if approvals and rights matter too.
You are worried about fake audiences: HypeAuditor.
Budget is the constraint: Heepsy, or Collabstr if you only pay when you hire.
You need enterprise governance: Aspire, then CreatorIQ once spend reaches enterprise scale.
Stay on Modash if
One index has to serve several networks at once and breadth matters more to you than depth.
The caps are not actually binding for you. If you only open a handful of profiles a month, they are not.
You are early. Discovery really is the whole job right now, and it is the part Modash does best.
You have built reporting around their data and moving costs more than the licence saves.
The verdict
Most people do not need a bigger platform than Modash. They need the same job done with a far bigger monthly allowance. If your campaigns live on TikTok, that is the whole argument for us: Pro at $99 with 20,000 searches, unlimited profile views, 10,000 email reveals a month, and a crawler that goes and finds the creators when a niche turns out to be thin.
If what you actually need is the whole programme rather than better search, take GRIN. If breadth across networks matters more to you than depth in one, stay on Modash. We are not going to argue you out of either, because a signup won on the wrong premise comes back as a cancellation in month two.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Modash alternative?
It depends on what broke for you. If your campaigns are TikTok and you left because the profile-view cap kept running out, Tokfluence at $99 a month removes the cap entirely. If you left because discovery alone was not enough, GRIN covers the full programme and publishes its pricing. If price was the problem, Heepsy has a low entry price and a permanent free plan.
Is there a free Modash alternative?
Two on this list have a permanent free plan rather than a trial: GRIN, which includes monthly credits, and Heepsy, which includes a limited number of search results. Collabstr is free to browse and only charges when you hire someone. Tokfluence has a smaller one, 50 searches and 50 credits a month with no card, and Modash itself offers a free trial, not a free tier.
Why do people leave Modash?
The complaint that repeats across review sites is the monthly caps. Essentials caps both opened profiles and email unlocks each month, and serious searching burns through both before the month ends. The second-most-common complaints are lightweight outreach and CRM, and reporting that stops short of real attribution.
How much does Modash cost in 2026?
Modash publishes its plans on modash.io/pricing. Essentials and Performance are monthly plans, each with capped opened profiles, email unlocks and seats, and Enterprise is an annual contract. The API is sold separately at annual enterprise pricing. Prices change, so check their page; we last checked it in September 2026.
Does Modash cover TikTok well?
It covers TikTok alongside Instagram and YouTube, and breadth is its main advantage. The trade-off is depth: spreading a crawler across three networks is not the same as pointing it at one. That is why we can go and fill a thin TikTok niche on request in 30 to 60 minutes, and a three-platform index generally cannot.
