Influencer discovery and campaign platform (APAC)
you need over 300 million profiles across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X and Threads.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
KOLR by iKala publishes its pricing. KOLR publishes three tiers metered by monthly "unlocks" of full influencer data (200 on Premium, 500 on Advanced) rather than a flat feature fee. Prices are quoted in New Taiwan Dollars; committing to 6 or 12 months earns a 10% or 20% discount off the monthly rate.
Twelve months at that entry price is $5,640, against $264 for a year of Sway9 Starter — 21.4x the cost, before either of you adds a tier.
