Full-service influencer agency
you need custom creator-network development across nine industry verticals.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
Obviously does not publish pricing — you request a quote. Obviously publishes no pricing anywhere on its site; every engagement is a custom proposal reached through a "Get in touch" contact form.
Obviously publishes nothing to annualise, so nobody outside a sales call can tell you the twelve-month figure. For reference, twelve months of Sway9 Starter is $264, and you can see that number without speaking to anyone.

Obviously is a full-service influencer and creator marketing agency that builds custom creator networks and content programmes for Fortune 500 brands. When nobody publishes a number, every evaluation starts with a calendar invite. The reasons teams look elsewhere tend to be about time as much as money:
Where Obviously 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 Obviously leaves you to do by hand.
