Modash is a self-serve influencer discovery platform from $199 a month. These are the alternatives worth a look, depending on what you need the tool to do.
If the job is finding creators who already do sponsored content and reaching them, CollabFeed does it from $29 a month with a free tier to browse. If you need Modash-style audience analytics and vetting, HypeAuditor is the closest substitute. If you want campaign management and payments in one place, Upfluence or GRIN. If you'd rather book creators through a marketplace, Collabstr.

CollabFeed tracks real paid partnerships on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, the posts carrying #ad and paid-partnership labels, and turns them into brand pages and creator pages. Brands see which creators a competitor sponsored and how those posts performed; creators see which brands actually pay. Pro adds creator contact details and CSV exports of any list. Free to browse, no demo.
Choose it if: you want creators with proven sponsored-content experience and a direct contact path, at a fraction of Modash's price. It does not do audience demographics or campaign management.
HypeAuditor is the closest substitute for Modash's core job: a large profile database with audience quality scores, fake-follower detection and demographics, plus campaign reporting and competitor monitoring on higher tiers. Pricing is not published as a fixed list; third-party sources put the entry plan around $299 a month on an annual contract.
Choose it if: audience vetting is the main reason you were looking at Modash.
Upfluence combines discovery with campaign management, affiliate tracking and payments, and integrates with Shopify and WooCommerce so you can recruit creators from your own customers. It is sold through a sales demo on annual contracts, with third-party estimates from roughly $500 a month.
Choose it if: you run an ecommerce affiliate or ambassador program and want everything inside one platform.
GRIN is a creator management platform for DTC and ecommerce brands, with deep Shopify integration, product seeding and relationship management for always-on creator programs.
Choose it if: you are a DTC brand running an ongoing creator program tied to your store.
Collabstr is a marketplace: creators list services and rates, brands book and pay inside the platform. Fast to start and transactional, with a percentage fee on bookings rather than a discovery database.
Choose it if: you want to hire creators for one-off content without a sales process or contracts.
Modash indexes hundreds of millions of profiles and lets you filter them by audience. CollabFeed starts from the other end: it tracks disclosed paid partnerships on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, so every creator on it has verifiably done sponsored work, and every brand page shows exactly who they sponsored and how those posts performed. Contact details and exports are included in Pro at $29 a month; browsing is free.
It does not do audience demographics, fake-follower audits or campaign management. If those are the job, Modash or one of the platforms below is the right pick, and CollabFeed works alongside as the place the shortlist comes from.

Modash Essentials is $199/mo billed annually ($299 monthly), Performance is $499/mo annually ($599 monthly), and Enterprise is custom, publicly listed from $14,700 a year. There is a 14-day trial without a card.
CollabFeed is free to browse, with unlimited search across tracked Instagram, TikTok and YouTube partnerships and no account needed. HypeAuditor has a limited free version with sample reports. Neither replaces Modash entirely; each covers a different part of the job.
CollabFeed, with a free tier and Pro at $29 a month for creator contact details and exports. It covers finding proven creators and reaching them, not audience analytics or campaign management.
Small brands usually need a shortlist and a way to contact it, not a 380-million-profile database. CollabFeed gives you a competitor's full creator list with engagement on sponsored posts and, with Pro, contact details and a CSV export. Once budgets justify audience auditing at scale, HypeAuditor or Modash itself make sense.
HypeAuditor is the closest like-for-like for audience quality and demographics. CollabFeed's analytics are about performance on sponsored posts specifically, which Modash and HypeAuditor do not isolate.
