Why Brands Look for Modash Alternatives
We have used Modash. It is genuinely good, and if you need Instagram you should probably buy it. What follows is the honest case for the other choice.
- Modash meters what you unlock. Every plan caps the creator emails you can unlock each month (modash.io/pricing, checked 31 Oct 2026).
- Tokfluence Pro is $99/month with unlimited profile views and 20,000 searches. You can start free with no card. New members get $50 off the first month of Pro. Existing Agency and Discovery Service subscriptions are not offered to new customers.
- Built for TikTok. TikTok is the core of the product. Instagram and YouTube are coming soon.
- No outreach inbox, on purpose. We integrate with the tools you already use, including an MCP server so AI assistants can query the index directly.
- Missing creator? We crawl for you. Your list comes back in 30 minutes to an hour.

What Brands Run Into With Modash
Almost nobody leaves Modash because the product is bad. They leave because of the meter. You are already paying for a plan, and you are still doing arithmetic about how many creators you are allowed to open this week.
The complaints that come up again and again:
- The credit maths. Email unlocks are capped, so the more creators you shortlist, the faster you run out.
- The caps bite during the work you bought the tool for. A monthly cap sounds like plenty until you actually run a campaign with it.
- The outreach half never quite lands. Read the public reviews and you find team after team exporting to their own email tool instead.
In practice that turns into:
- Rationing your shortlist, because every unlock counts against the cap
- Building shortlists on follower count, because that number is free to look at
- Hitting the email unlock ceiling mid-campaign and waiting for the month to roll over
- Paying per seat to give a colleague access
- Running outreach in Gmail anyway, so the inbox you paid for goes unused
- Being told a creator is not in the index, with no path from there
What Modash does well
- Three platforms. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube in one tool. Our Instagram and YouTube are coming soon.
- Genuinely large index across those three platforms.
- Payments and affiliate management built into the Performance plan.
- Strong reputation, and the product earns it.
- Mature enterprise tier, with custom tracking domains and procurement support.
Where it starts to hurt
- Metered email unlocks. It meters the exact activity discovery ends in.
- Tight monthly caps. Email unlocks are capped on every plan, the entry plan included.
- Per-seat pricing. Seats are fixed per plan, so giving a colleague access can mean moving up a tier.
- Outreach is the weakest part of the product. Reviews consistently describe the inbox as bolted on.
- No path when a creator is not indexed. If they are not in the database, that is the end of the answer.

Why Tokfluence Is the Best Alternative to Modash
Five things, roughly in the order people bring them up when they switch.
Pro at $99, the price on the site
Pro is $99 a month. New members get $50 off the first month of Pro. The price is published, with no sales call. Existing Agency and Discovery Service subscriptions are not offered to new customers.
For reference, Modash prices by tier, with team members and unlocked creator emails capped on each plan. Tiers to work out before you have looked at a single creator.
- One price, published, no sales call required
- 1 seat on Pro. Agency seats are a legacy plan and are not offered to new customers
- 10,000 email reveals a month on Pro
- A self-serve free plan with no card
Unlimited Profile Views on Pro
Profile views are unlimited on Pro. Pro includes 20,000 searches a month.
This is the difference that actually changes how you work. Discovery is mostly looking. Twenty creators worth briefing usually means opening a couple of hundred profiles, and when every look is metered that adds up fast. The real cost is not the money, it is that you start checking fewer creators properly.
- 20,000 searches a month on Pro
- Unlimited profile data views on the paid plan
- Unlimited saved lists
- 10,000 email reveals a month, a ceiling most teams never reach
Integrations Instead of a Half-Built Inbox
We do not have an outreach inbox, and we are not planning one.
Modash does, and going by the reviews it is the weakest thing they ship. We would only have built a worse version of the tool you are already using, so we export cleanly instead and get out of the way.
- MCP server, so AI assistants query the creator index directly and build a shortlist in conversation
- CSV export that lands clean in a sequencer, CRM or spreadsheet
- Public API for teams that want the data in their own stack
- Your outreach stays in Gmail, Lemlist, HubSpot or wherever it already works
- A done-for-you outreach service if you would rather hand the whole workflow over
Built Around TikTok
TikTok is the core of the product, and the depth shows.
You do not have to guess keywords to use it. In the clip below, the query is typed in plain English, "UK women over 40 years talking about menopause", and Tokfluence turns that sentence into structured filters: country, gender, age signals and topic. The search returns 98 matching TikTok creators, each with follower count, engagement rate and average views, ready to filter further or export. The typing is sped up four times; the search and the results run at real speed.
- Filter by niche, country, follower band, engagement rate, hashtags, mentions, verified status, contact email and cross-platform links
- Sort on any of them, then export
- Audience analysis to check followers are real and in the right country before you brief anyone
- Campaign tracking on posts, views and cost-per-view
- Original research published from the index, including median engagement rate by follower tier across 1,500 sampled creators
Breadth versus depth is the honest framing. Modash spans more platforms. We go deep on one.
If a Creator Is Missing, We Go and Get Them
Every other tool here can only hand back what it already has. If your niche is thin, that is the end of the conversation.
We just go and crawl it. Ask for something we are light on and the list lands back with you in 30 minutes to an hour.
- On-demand crawling of niches, hashtags and creator sets
- Results in 30 to 60 minutes, not "submit a request and wait"
- The index grows around what customers actually search for
Modash vs Tokfluence: Which Platform Is Right for You?
Choose Modash if
- Your campaigns run on Instagram or YouTube. This is the decisive one.Our Instagram and YouTube are coming soon, and no pricing advantage fixes a platform that is not covered yet.
- You want discovery and outreach in a single window.
- You need built-in payments or affiliate management.
- You need SSO, custom tracking domains and procurement paperwork.
Choose Tokfluence if
- TikTok is where your campaigns actually live.
- You are tired of counting unlocks on a capped plan.
- Your outreach already works somewhere else and you want clean data feeding it.
- You want an AI assistant querying the creator index directly.
- You need creators who are not in anyone's index yet.
Final Verdict
If you need Instagram and YouTube, buy Modash. We are not going to pretend otherwise to win a signup we would lose again in month two.
If the campaign is TikTok, we think this is the better buy, and the free plan means you do not have to take our word for it. Run your normal discovery against our index for an afternoon. If the creators you would actually book are not in there, you have lost nothing but the afternoon.
