Influencer search and outreach tool
you need the cheapest self-serve entry point of any discovery tool in this batch.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Heepsy publishes pricing, but blocked our automated check — the figures below are third-party reported. Heepsy's pricing page returned HTTP 403 on our automated check. A third-party review blog reports three tiers metered by monthly search results, influencer reports and outreach emails, with a roughly 20-22% discount for annual billing.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $69/mo — and a year still comes to $828, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

Heepsy is a self-serve influencer search engine aimed at smaller brands and agencies, with filtering, outreach and basic campaign reporting. Credits reward light use and punish a busy quarter. What pushes people to look elsewhere:
Where Heepsy meters what you do in credits, 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 Heepsy leaves you to do by hand.
