Short answer: influData is a pure discovery and analytics SaaS (search, due diligence, tracking) with no marketplace and no payment processing (based in Vienna). Pricing: from 599 €/month, 12 months. Kreatory is a self-service platform from Walldorf, Germany, that handles influencer placements, UGC videos, and barter deals in one system – with AI matching across more than 5.4M creator profiles, automated outreach, creator offers right in your dashboard, 1-click booking, contracts, tracking, and one consolidated invoice, at fixed plan prices from 173 € per month with no markup on creator fees. Which solution fits better depends on whether you mainly want to analyze and steer, or to scale influencer marketing operationally with many nano- and micro-influencers. The comparison below shows the differences point by point – based on public sources, as of November 9, 2026.

What is influData?

influData is a data and analytics tool for influencer marketing, operated by WeCreate Data GmbH in Vienna and launched in 2020. According to the company, the software analyzes more than 28 million profiles – around 12 million on Instagram, 8 million on TikTok, 5.5 million on YouTube, and smaller sets on Twitch, Facebook, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. The focus is on discovery and due diligence: AI prompt search, profile summaries, sentiment, brand safety reports, lookalikes, audience overlap, social listening, share of voice, a Chrome extension, an API, and an MCP connector. Prices are public via OMR Reviews: Pro from 599 € per month (10 campaign seats, 300 creator credits per year), All-In from 1,199 € per month, Enterprise on request; third-party sources cite a minimum term of twelve months.

Why do companies look for an influData alternative?

influData has a clear strength – and that is exactly where the typical reasons for comparing alternatives come from:

  • Finding is only the beginning: influData delivers excellent data for selection. After that, the work begins: outreach, negotiation, contracts, invoices, payouts – a full-time job for 30 creators per campaign.
  • Credits and term: Creator credits per year and a twelve-month commitment from 599 € suit agencies with constant volume, less so brands with seasonal campaigns.
  • Offers instead of estimates: Instead of estimated reach, in the end you need a concrete offer from the creator with price, scope, and verified insights – and one click to accept it.

On top of that come the questions that arise in every tool comparison: How quickly am I up and running? What does it cost me per year, including internal working time? And how many creators can I really manage with the same team? You will find a checklist for this in How to choose an influencer marketing platform.

The table summarizes the most important differences. The information about influData comes from the provider's website and review portals (as of November 2026); the information about Kreatory comes from the pricing page and the product pages.

Where influData is stronger – and where Kreatory is

A fair comparison names both sides. This speaks for influData:

  • Very deep data: 28M+ analyzed profiles, audience overlap, lookalikes, brand safety reports, social listening
  • AI prompt search and profile summaries, plus a Chrome extension, an API, and an MCP connector
  • Strong in DACH and multilingual; support is praised in reviews (OMR Reviews 4.5/5 from 97 reviews)
  • Campaign tracking and share-of-voice analyses

From the perspective of brands that want to scale influencer marketing operationally, this speaks for Kreatory:

  • Self-service from the first minute: set up a campaign, AI matching across more than 5.4M creator profiles, automated outreach – creators apply with a concrete offer and a verified DigiKit®
  • Complete execution in one system: booking with one click, automatic contracts and ad disclosure, content approval, post tracking via the official APIs of Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, one consolidated invoice, payouts to creators
  • Three formats in one platform: influencer placements on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, UGC videos with usage rights from around 70 € per video, barter deals
  • Transparent plan pricing from 173 € per month on an annual plan, no markup fee on creator fees; terms of 3, 6, or 12 months
  • Outreach in all EU languages – campaigns in further European markets without native speakers on your team (PREMIUM)

And where Kreatory does not keep up: Kreatory is not a social listening or media monitoring tool, does not cover networks such as Twitch, Snapchat, or Pinterest, and is geared toward Europe, not global programs in 100+ countries. If that is exactly what you need, you are better off with specialized providers.

What does influData cost – and what does Kreatory cost?

influData: Public (OMR Reviews, as of 10/2026): Pro 599 €/month (10 seats, 300 credits/year), All-In 1,199 €/month (30 seats, 1,200 credits), Enterprise on request; 2-day trial. Third-party source: 12-month minimum term.

Kreatory: Four plans with public prices. On an annual plan: Kreatory UGC 173 € per month (UGC sourcing, usage rights, 1 brand, 2 users), Kreatory ADS 423 € (influencer placements, campaign management, analytics, 4 users), Kreatory PLUS 550 € (UGC and ADS, creators from DACH, 8 users), Kreatory PREMIUM 712 € (plus barter deals and creators from all of Europe, 16 users). On a quarterly plan, prices are 345 €, 845 €, 1,099 €, and 1,424 € per month respectively. Creator fees are added with no markup; UGC videos start at around 70 €. All details are on the pricing page.

A pure license comparison falls short. Calculate for twelve months: license or commission plus creator fees plus internal working time for search, outreach, negotiation, contracts, and billing. For guidance on fees, see Influencer marketing costs in 2026.

Who is influData for, and who is Kreatory for?

influData fits if your profile looks like this: agencies, brands, and marketing teams that research and vet creators – DACH and Europe. And if you mainly need what sets influData apart. For example: very deep data with 28M+ analyzed profiles, audience overlap, lookalikes, brand safety reports, and social listening.

Kreatory fits if you want to find many nano- and micro-influencers, have them contacted for you, compare offers, and book with one click – for placements, UGC videos, and barter deals in DACH or across Europe, at fixed prices and without contracts, tracking, and invoices being left with your team. Which levers you can combine with this is shown in Scaling influencer marketing: the 7 levers.

How to compare influData and Kreatory properly

Feature lists say little about everyday use. The most meaningful comparison uses a real brief:

  1. Define the goal: Reach, traffic, sales, or content for ads.
  2. Calculate total cost: License or commission plus creator fees plus internal working time – over twelve months.
  3. Submit the same brief: Compare how quickly suitable creators with an offer are available and how many steps are needed until booking.
  4. Check data quality: Which metrics are measured from connected accounts, which are estimated? Our glossary Influencer KPIs explained helps you classify them.
  5. Run the process through to the invoice: Approval, tracking, billing – how much remains with you?
