Everything you need to know about CollabFeed

Collabfeed is a tool that tracks real paid partnership posts on Instagram and TikTok.

It lets you browse creator paid partnerships (including UGC creator collaborations and influencer partnerships) and branded content across different niches.

For creators, we also offer Smart Brand Matching to find brands that fit your niche, and personalized pitch templates to help you land deals.

Collabfeed collects publicly available posts that use branded content labels such as:

  • "Paid Partnership" on Instagram
  • "Sponsored" on TikTok
  • Hashtags like #ad, #sponsored, #gifted (depending on the platform)

Only public posts are included, not private data.

Instagram and TikTok collaborations are updated daily.

New branded content posts are added automatically as they appear.

Instagram uses an official Branded Content label, which is easier to detect.

TikTok's hashtag system sometimes includes:

  • creators asking brands for deals
  • trend posts
  • non-sponsored content

We're actively improving TikTok filtering.

Branded content labels like "Paid Partnership with [Brand]" identify sponsored posts.

Collabfeed tracks posts that use these labels.

UGC (User-Generated Content) is when creators produce content for a brand to use on the brand's own channels (ads, social pages, website). This is different from influencer marketing, where creators post sponsored content on their own accounts.

CollabFeed tracks the latter: creators who post paid partnerships publicly on their Instagram and TikTok using tags like #ad, #sponsored, or "Paid Partnership" labels.

In practice, a lot of creators do both: they post on their own account AND deliver content for the brand to use on theirs. And the brands paying for public creator posts are usually the same ones with UGC budgets too.

Whether you do UGC, influencer deals, or both, the brand names, contact emails, and campaign data here help you find who's actually hiring and spending.

Yes. You can browse thousands of real paid partnerships and see which brands are actively hiring creators right now.

Filter by niche, platform, creator size, and more. Check out our Brand Directory to see all tracked brands and their campaign activity.

Yes, both Creator and Pro plans can be cancelled anytime. No long-term commitment required.

You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
