Influencer marketing for luxury brands
you need creator discovery tuned to fashion, luxury and beauty, with clients like Clarins, Lanvin and Byredo.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Lefty does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Lefty quotes each brand individually after a demo. A third party reports an unofficial Standard tier near €590/mo and a Pro tier near €990/mo, rising with the number of active campaigns — Lefty itself confirms neither figure.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $637/mo — and a year still comes to $7,644, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.
Third-party reported, not confirmed by Lefty · source. Pricing in this category changes often — confirm with the vendor before you commit.

Where Lefty 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 Lefty leaves you to do by hand.
