What does Fohr cost?
Fohr does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Reported at $20,000/yr for the self-serve Discovery tier, the only number Fohr is reported to disclose. AMP (ambassador management), Managed Services and Custom Technology are all quoted per customer, and contracts run annual across every tier.
Discovery (self-serve) — reported from $20,000/yr, search across 180k+ opt-in creator network
AMP (ambassador management) — custom quote
Managed Services — custom quote, full campaign execution by Fohr's team
Custom Technology — bespoke, custom quote
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $1,667/mo — and a year still comes to $20,004, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

What stands out about Fohr
Why do teams look for a Fohr alternative?
Fohr is a predictive, agency-tech hybrid for larger brands that want to forecast campaign performance and vet creator fit before spending, with optional full-service execution. Demo-gated pricing puts a sales cycle between you and knowing what this costs. That is the friction people name most often:
You want a month-to-month plan rather than an annual commitment
Your program needs the posts you already ran tracked and paid, not forecast in advance
You want one published number, not three separate quotes

Sway9
Track your own roster, pay per view
Free plan, then $22/mo
Where Fohr 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 Fohr leaves you to do by hand.
Same negotiated quote model as Fohr; the difference is scope — enterprise creator marketing rather than enterprise creator intelligence and management.

Where Fohr is still the better choice
Enterprise tools earn their contracts on things a self-serve product simply cannot do, and Fohr is the stronger pick when the job is one of these:
Predictive scoring of creators by likely performance and brand fit before committing budget
A large opt-in, verified creator network with direct platform API data
AI-generated wrap reporting after campaigns close
A managed-service option backed by a reported $80M+ of historical payout data
If that is the software you are actually shopping for, Fohr is the better buy and nothing on this page should talk you out of it.
