Short answer: influence.vision is a hybrid of marketplace (pay-per-use with commission), SaaS subscriptions, and full-service agency (based in Vienna). Pricing: from 149 €/month or pay-per-use with up to 20% commission. 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 process campaigns, 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 influence.vision?

influence.vision is an influencer marketing platform from Vienna, founded in 2017; the production group Banijay Germany has held a stake since 2022. Brands post briefs, creators apply with ideas, and booking, approvals, content calendar, real-time reporting, and consolidated payouts run through the platform; on top of that come team features, AI features in the Pro plan, servers in Germany/the EU, and German-language support. For discovery, influence.vision cites a search across 300 million Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube profiles. In addition to self-service, there is a full-service offering as an agency. Prices are public via OMR Reviews: Discovery from 149 € per month (150 profile analyses), Starter as pay-per-use without a subscription with up to 20% commission per campaign, Pro from 399 € per month with customer success, tracking, and AI as well as reduced commission, full service on request.

Why do companies look for an influence.vision alternative?

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

  • Commission instead of a license: Up to 20% commission on the campaign budget is bearable with a 2,000 € test budget – with 20,000 € per quarter, it is 4,000 €. Above a certain volume, a fixed license with no markup is cheaper and easier to plan.
  • Billing: Invoices per campaign and a fee logic that is hard to follow at first make budget control more difficult; one consolidated invoice per campaign with creator fees and no surcharge is simpler.
  • Active outreach and Europe: If you do not want to wait for applications but want suitable creators across Europe to be actively contacted, you need AI matching with automated, multilingual outreach.

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.

Where influence.vision is stronger – and where Kreatory is

A fair comparison names both sides. This speaks for influence.vision:

  • Flexible entry: pay-per-use without a subscription or Discovery from 149 € per month
  • Complete workflow from brief through approvals to consolidated payouts, servers in the EU, German-language support
  • Full-service option if a team wants to hand off the campaign completely
  • Very good ratings for interface, matching, and support (OMR Reviews 4.7/5 from 49 reviews)

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 influence.vision cost – and what does Kreatory cost?

influence.vision: Public (OMR Reviews, as of 03/2026): Discovery from 149 €/month; Starter pay-per-use without a subscription with up to 20% commission per campaign; Pro from 399 €/month (CSM, tracking, AI, commission savings); full service on request. No free trial, demo available.

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 influence.vision for, and who is Kreatory for?

influence.vision fits if your profile looks like this: SMBs to enterprises as well as agencies in the DACH region. And if you mainly need what sets influence.vision apart. For example: a flexible entry with pay-per-use without a subscription or Discovery from 149 € per month.

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 influence.vision 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?
