Influencer CRM and outreach
you need a tool that combines discovery, cold-outreach sequencing and UGC/payout tracking in one subscription.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — from $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Influencer Hero publishes its pricing. Flat published tiers metered by reach-outs, search credits, seats and UGC-tracked influencers; every plan carries a 3-month minimum commitment, with quarterly and annual billing sold as discounts off that base.
Twelve months at that entry price is $7,788, against $264 for a year of Sway9 Starter — 29.5x the cost, before either of you adds a tier.

Influencer Hero is a per-brand influencer CRM combining discovery credits, cold outreach automation and UGC/payout tracking, sold in published tiers with a required minimum term. You know the price going in, so the question is only whether the scope matches the job. Where it does not:
Where Influencer Hero charges a flat monthly subscription, 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 Influencer Hero leaves you to do by hand.
