Best influencer analytics tools: seven options by how many creators you vet

Best influencer analytics tools by creators vetted a month

The best influencer analytics tool follows from how many creators you vet, and these influencer vetting tools fall into three groups. A handful a year: the free checkers in free influencer analytics tools. A few a month: a self-serve plan such as Heepsy Starter at $69 a month (Heepsy's pricing page) or Modash Essentials at $199 a month, both billed annually. Dozens a month across clients: a platform contract such as HypeAuditor, Upfluence or Influencer Hero.

The prices below are US dollars as read on October 24, 2026. HypeAuditor sells tailored plans through its sales team. Its blog, updated September 16, 2026, says the Basic plan starts at $299 a month when billed annually, and its pricing page showed no prices when we read it. Collabstr is a marketplace for hiring creators, so it solves a different job from the other tools in the table.

Seven influencer analytics tools compared

Every price is billed annually and printed by the vendor, except HypeAuditor's, which is a starting rate from its blog. The meters differ: HypeAuditor counts creator analyses, Modash opened profiles and Heepsy advanced profiles, so match a plan to your own creator volume, not to a number in another vendor's unit.

Pick Heepsy Starter for a small budget and Modash Essentials for a 14-day trial first. Pick Collabstr to hire from a marketplace. Pick HypeAuditor, Upfluence or Influencer Hero when dozens of creators a month across clients justify a platform contract.

Audience checks each tool offers

• HypeAuditor: the Audience Quality Score (AQS), its own 1 to 100 score for an Instagram account's audience quality. The Account Quality Score filter needs a tier above Basic.
• Modash: a fake follower rate, the combined share of suspicious accounts and bots in a sample of followers.
• Heepsy: estimated fake followers, plus an audience authenticity filter that its pricing page lists from Plus, $149 a month billed annually.
• Collabstr: a share of suspicious followers in its free checker, and 20 audience reports a month on Pro.
• Influencer Hero: fake follower analysis, ticked on all four of its plans.

Each tool uses its own measure, and the same creator can show different results in different tools. Influencity sells creator insights through tokens, and Upfluence lists performance and audience data on all three levels. The HypeAuditor review covers the score and its limits in detail.

Annual or monthly billing for analytics tools

Five tools print a monthly-billed price next to the annual one. Modash Essentials is $299 a month billed monthly, Heepsy Starter $89, Influencity Discover $198 and Collabstr Pro $299. Influencer Hero Standard is $649 a month on its monthly rate, with a 3-month minimum on every plan. HypeAuditor publishes no monthly price, and Upfluence prints no price at all and sets a 12-month minimum contract.

Fees beyond the plan, such as Collabstr's hiring fee, are laid out in influencer marketing software cost.
