AI creator marketing marketplace
you need a genuine free tier for testing campaigns, not just a time-limited trial.
you want the creators you already have tracked and paid per view — free plan first, then $22/mo, unlimited team members, no annual contract.
partnrUP's own site (partnrup.ai) blocks automated page fetches, so figures here are drawn from the company's own launch press release, syndicated via EIN Presswire, which explicitly bills the platform as having 'transparent pricing': a free Starter tier (up to 10 creators), Lite at $99/mo (up to 50 creators), Boost at $299/mo (up to 100 creators, gifting and insight reports), and custom Enterprise/Agency tiers. A separate $9/mo 'Pro' membership exists on the creator side of the marketplace.
Take the lowest figure anyone reports — $99/mo — and a year still comes to $1,188, against $264 for Sway9 Starter. The true number is likely higher, and only a sales call would tell you what yours is.

partnrUP is an AI-agent-driven creator marketing marketplace, launched by gen.video in 2024 after acquiring the UGC platform Bounty, matching brands to a 300,000+ creator network with AI agents handling sourcing, outreach and payments. You know the price going in, so the question is only whether the scope matches the job. Where it does not:
Where partnrUP 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 partnrUP leaves you to do by hand.
