Influencer marketing suite
you need marketplace discovery across a very large creator pool.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Aspire does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Priced on team size, campaign volume and creator count. Reports vary widely: Capterra estimates from about $2,499/mo, other trackers put the low end nearer $1,000/mo, and Vendr has reported roughly $11,139/yr at the bottom end.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $1,000/mo — and a year still comes to $12,000, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

Aspire is an enterprise influencer suite for mid-to-large DTC brands: marketplace discovery, outreach, contracts, content approval and affiliate programs. Demo-gated pricing puts a sales cycle between you and knowing what this costs. That is the friction people name most often:
Where Aspire quotes you a price after a sales call, Sway9 charges on how many creator accounts you track and nothing else. It picks up every TikTok and Instagram post from creators you already work with, refreshes them automatically, and computes spend and effective CPM as the views arrive — the reconciliation Aspire leaves you to do by hand.
