InsightIQ is creator data, audience analytics and identity APIs, used both directly and as infrastructure inside other products. Flat pricing is rarely the problem; scope usually is. Why teams still move:
Where InsightIQ 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 InsightIQ leaves you to do by hand.
