HypeAuditor alternatives: six tools and what a year costs

HypeAuditor alternatives compared on price and free route

The HypeAuditor alternatives and competitors compared here are Modash, Heepsy, Influencity, Collabstr, Upfluence and Influencer Hero. Four of them list an entry plan below HypeAuditor's blog figure. The blog, updated September 16, 2026, says the Basic plan starts at $299 a month when billed annually, as read on October 24, 2026. HypeAuditor publishes no monthly price.

For a free HypeAuditor alternative, Heepsy and Collabstr have free plans, and Modash and Influencity have free trials. Upfluence sets up a trial after a call. The table sets annual billing beside annual billing.

Influencity, Modash and Influencer Hero print a yearly total ($1,900, $2,388 and $5,452). Heepsy and Collabstr print only the monthly rate on annual billing, and Collabstr's hiring fees come on top.

Free plans and trials among the alternatives

• Heepsy: a free plan with no credit card, 500 results and 10 advanced profiles a month and 1 project.
• Modash: a 14-day free trial with no credit card, capped at 20 profile views, 6 email unlocks and 10 tracked creators.
• Influencity: a 7-day free trial on all plans. Its FAQ says the exact features available may vary.
• Collabstr: search and hire without a subscription. The Free plan carries the 10% hiring fee, and there is no self-serve trial.
• Upfluence: a free trial set up after an initial call, with no length stated.

HypeAuditor's own route is free sign-up and demo versions; its trial comes through sales.

Alternatives for a yearly contract

Influencity annual plans stay active until the end of the period. Upfluence asks for a minimum contract of 12 months. Influencer Hero requires a 3-month minimum term on all plans: its Standard plan is $454 a month on yearly billing and $649 a month at the monthly rate, which carries a 3-month commitment.

Take an outdoor gear brand looking for YouTube creators by audience country and age. Heepsy lists 5K results a month on Starter and 25K on Plus. Influencity lists 5,000 results a month on Discover with annual billing and 2,500 with monthly billing. HypeAuditor's Terms set a fair-use cap of 5,000 search requests a month under Influencer Discovery, and Basic counts 500 creator analyses.

Each vendor defines its own unit, so the brand compares billing first: Heepsy Starter is $69 billed annually or $89 billed monthly, Influencity Discover is $158 or $198, and HypeAuditor Basic starts at $299 billed annually. HypeAuditor's blog places advanced audience parameters above Basic, so ask each vendor which plan holds the audience country and age filters for YouTube.

Where HypeAuditor still fits

HypeAuditor fits a team that wants reports built around its Audience Quality Score, a 1 to 100 score recalculated daily, and audience types that separate Real People, Influencers, Mass Followers and Suspicious accounts on Instagram. Its help center advises against reading the score alone. Its blog says Basic leaves out AI Search, the Account Quality Score filter and advanced audience parameters.

HypeAuditor prints no yearly total, and its blog says pricing is tailored to your needs. Modash and Influencity offer free trials you start yourself, while HypeAuditor's trial is arranged through its sales team.

• Heepsy for a free plan.
• Modash for a 14-day free trial; compare it in HypeAuditor vs Modash.
• Collabstr for hiring creators through a marketplace.
