An influencers.club alternative is worth a look if most of what you pay for is creator contact emails. influencers.club sells exports from a database it says holds “340M+ influencer profiles”3, at one credit per export1. The four tools below price emails very differently, from free on every search result to a fixed monthly allowance. Every price and limit here is the vendor’s own, checked in October 2026. Kolect publishes this page and is one of the four; we say plainly where influencers.club or another tool is the better choice.
influencers.club alternatives at a glance
influencers.club is a creator data platform: search, email exports and an enrichment API. The closest alternatives are Kolect for the lowest cost per creator email, Modash and HypeAuditor for outreach and CRM in the same tool, and Heepsy for a free plan and LinkedIn creators.
| Tool | Platforms you can search | Database claim (vendor’s own) | How emails are priced | Entry price | API |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| influencers.club | Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, OnlyFans, Twitch4 | “340M+ influencer profiles”3 | 1 credit per export with an email1 | Starter from $140/month; its FAQ says $1991 | Pro plan, from $208/month1 |
| Kolect | TikTok, Instagram, YouTube19 | 300M+ creators19 | Public emails on search results, no extra credits21 | Light $7.20/month for 300 credits20 | No public REST API; MCP server, CLI and skill24 |
| Modash | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube10 | “380M+ creators”10 | 150 or 400 unlocked emails a month10 | Essentials $199/month billed yearly10 | Raw API from $10,000/year, Discovery API from $16,200/year11 |
| HypeAuditor | Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, X14 | “227M+”14 | 1,000 contact unlocks on Basic14 | Basic $299/month on its compare page14 | Not priced on the pages we read |
| Heepsy | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn18 | “20M+ creators”18 | Emails on unlocked advanced profiles with public contact details18 | Free plan; Starter $69/month billed yearly, $89 monthly18 | Not priced on the pages we read |
Database sizes are marketing claims, and not always consistent on one vendor’s own site: influencers.club’s YouTube email finder page cites “100M+ social media profiles”5. Compare what a plan lets you contact each month, not the headline number.
How much does influencers.club cost?
influencers.club lists two self-serve plans: Starter (dashboard only) from $140 a month and Pro (API plus dashboard) from $208 a month, plus a custom-priced Agency tier for managed outreach1. The same page’s FAQ says “Start with our Dashboard plan at $199/month”1, and its llms.txt adds that “actual pricing varies by credit volume and billing period”2, so the price you pay depends on the credits you buy.
| Starter | Pro | Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | from $140/month | from $208/month | Custom |
| Access | Dashboard | API + dashboard | Managed outreach and custom data |
| Export credits | from 500 (500–8,000+) | 500–8,000+ | Tailored |
| Price per credit | “as low as $0.15” | “as low as $0.23” | Tailored |
| “Unlock results per search” | Up to 5 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Data per export | Valid email + creator-level data | Adds audience and social graph | — |
| Seats and integrations | Unlimited seats | Adds Zapier, Clay, n8n, MCP | Dedicated team |

The credit rules matter more than the sticker price:
- 1 credit = 1 valid export, and unused credits roll over to the next billing period1.
- The free trial is 10 credits with Pro features and no payment details1.
- API calls are metered separately: discovery costs 0.01 credits per creator returned, a full enrichment by handle 1 credit and an enrichment by email 0.05 credits; credits are deducted only when a request returns data, and the API allows 300 requests a minute8.
- Starter’s “up to 5” row is worth asking about before you buy: the pricing table lists “Unlock Results per Search: Up to 5” on Starter against “Unlimited” on Pro1.

What does one creator email cost in each tool?
Divide each plan’s price by the contacts it unlocks: an email costs about $0.01 on Kolect20, $0.15–$0.28 on influencers.club1, $0.30 on HypeAuditor14 and Heepsy18, and $1.25–$1.33 on Modash’s yearly plans10. The units differ, so read the last column before you compare.
| Tool and plan | Price | Contacts included | Cost per contact | What one unit gets you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kolect Light | $7.20/month20 | 300 credits = 600 creators20 | $0.012 | A creator result; the email is shown free when the creator lists one21 |
| Kolect 20,000-credit pack | $349 once20 | 40,000 creators | $0.0087 | Same; pack credits never expire20 |
| Kolect lookup by profile link | 5 credits per email found21 | — | $0.12 at Light’s credit price | An email for a creator you already know |
| influencers.club Starter | from $140/month1 | from 500 export credits1 | $0.28 (“as low as $0.15” at volume) | One export: email plus creator data |
| HypeAuditor Basic | $299/month14 | 1,000 contact unlocks14 | $0.30 | One contact unlock |
| Heepsy Plus | $149/month billed yearly, $199 monthly18 | 500 advanced profiles18 | $0.30 ($0.40 monthly) | One advanced profile; email only where public18 |
| Modash Performance | $499/month billed yearly10 | 400 unlocked emails10 | $1.25 | One unlocked email |
| Modash Essentials | $199/month billed yearly10 | 150 unlocked emails10 | $1.33 | One unlocked email |
Modash’s FAQ says “Annual billing saves you $100/month”10, which puts Essentials at about $299 month to month, or $1.99 an email. Kolect charges for each creator a search returns, not for each email; adding “with a public email” to the search returns only creators who list one21, so on Kolect the cost per creator and the cost per creator with an email are the same.
The email is the cheap part
Even the most expensive line in that table is small next to the collaboration. In Kolect-managed campaigns, the median agreed fee for a micro creator (10K–100K followers) was $40025, so a $1.33 Modash email is about 0.3% of the deal and a $0.28 influencers.club export about 0.07%. Choose on whether the tool finds creators who fit and reply, then on cents per email. Our influencer rates guide has the fee benchmarks by platform and tier.
What 500 creators with an email a month costs
| Tool | Cheapest published plan that covers 500 | Monthly cost | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kolect | Light: 600 creators20 | $7.20 | Subscription credits are valid only for that month20 |
| influencers.club | Starter: from 500 export credits1 | from $140 ($199 in its FAQ) | Credits roll over1 |
| Heepsy | Plus: 500 advanced profiles18 | $149 billed yearly | Emails only where the creator has public contact details, so fewer than 50018 |
| HypeAuditor | Basic: 1,000 contact unlocks14 | $299 | 1 user and 1 active campaign on Basic14 |
| Modash | Performance stops at 400 emails; Enterprise lists “more”10 | Enterprise from $14,700/year | The self-serve plans don’t reach 500 |
Where do the emails come from, and are they verified?
influencers.club, Kolect and Heepsy each say they work from contact details creators make public; the difference is coverage and checking. influencers.club says it indexes “publicly available creator contact info”2, claims “verified contact details (emails and phone numbers) for all 340M creators”, checks emails “against multiple validation softwares”3 and returns them “with status flags so you know their quality”1. That verification layer is a real advantage when you send at volume.
- Kolect shows the contact email when a creator lists one publicly; not every creator has one21. Kolect’s pages don’t describe a separate deliverability check, so run new lists through your own email verifier. On a single profile, the free Kolect Chrome extension shows the bio email once you are signed in23.
- Heepsy includes contact emails only on advanced profiles you’ve unlocked, where the creator has public contact details, and lets you filter for creators who have a public email18.
- Modash meters emails per plan (150 or 400 a month)10 and HypeAuditor per contact unlock (1,000 on Basic)14.
influencers.club’s email finder pages for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok work the same way: enter a handle or upload a list of usernames and get the email back with 40+ profile metrics7. The TikTok page also does the reverse, returning the TikTok profiles linked to a list of emails6. For a step-by-step on finding an address yourself, see the Kolect email finder page or our guide to finding TikTok creator emails.
How fresh is each tool’s data?
influencers.club and Kolect both say they refresh a creator’s numbers when you ask for them; Modash and HypeAuditor describe scheduled refreshes.
| Tool | What the vendor says |
|---|---|
| influencers.club | “All 340M+ creator profiles are refreshed every two weeks”, and dashboard or API requests “trigger a real-time refresh of publicly available platform data”2 |
| Kolect | “Followers and views are refreshed before each result is shown”19 |
| Modash | “Search results are updated within 2 weeks”; an unlocked profile “refreshes every 2-4 weeks”12 |
| HypeAuditor | “Weekly, more frequent for high-activity accounts”16 |
| Heepsy | Not stated on its pricing page18 |
One caveat on influencers.club: its llms.txt lists enrichment by email as “no real-time refresh”2, and its TikTok email finder page says “We update our database bi-weekly”6. Ask whether an exported email is re-checked at export time or comes from the last scheduled refresh.
Kolect: the lowest cost per creator with an email
Kolect is AI creator search for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube: you describe the creators you want in one sentence, edit the filters it builds, and every result shows why it matches, its matching videos and a 0–100 authenticity score19. Contact emails sit on the result and cost no credits, on the free account too21.
- Price: Light $7.20 a month (300 credits), Plus $47.20 (3,000), Pro $159.20 (12,000) and Max $799.20 (75,000), each 20% off a regular $9, $59, $199 and $999; yearly billing gives 2 months free; one-time packs of 1,000, 5,000 and 20,000 credits cost $24, $99 and $349 and never expire20.
- Free use: see 5 creators without an account, then 90 credits on sign-up; 1 credit shows 2 creators, and searches with no results, repeat views, emails and CSV export cost nothing20.
- Vetting: the in-app authenticity estimate runs eight checks; the free fake follower checker runs six of them in your browser, 20 checks a day free, then 5 credits each22.
- AI assistants: the same search works inside Claude, Codex, WorkBuddy or OpenClaw, on the same account and credits as the website24. See how to find influencers with AI.
- Done for you: the Kolect team also runs creator campaigns end to end, from shortlist to payment; it has served 150+ brands across 120K+ collaborations19. See the managed service.
Pick Kolect if your job is finding TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators and emailing them, and you want to pay cents rather than dollars per contact.
Watch out for: three platforms only; emails only when the creator lists one, without verification flags; no public REST API; no outreach sequences or CRM in the app, so you send from your own inbox (our outreach templates help); subscription credits expire each month, pack credits don’t.
Modash: outreach, CRM and Shopify in one suite
Modash says it “includes every public profile on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with over 1K followers”13, and adds the workflow influencers.club leaves to integrations: Gmail and Outlook sync, a CRM, two-way Shopify sync and creator payments13.
- Price: Essentials $199 a month billed yearly ($2,388) with 300 opened profiles and 150 unlocked emails a month; Performance $499 billed yearly with 800 profiles and 400 emails; Enterprise from $14,700 a year10.
- Trial: 14 days, no card, with 20 profiles and 6 email unlocks10.
- API: Raw API from $10,000 a year and Discovery API from $16,200 a year; on the Discovery API, a search by email costs 0.02 credits per matched result11.
Pick Modash if you would otherwise bolt a CRM onto influencers.club through HubSpot or Salesforce, or you sell on Shopify.
Watch out for: the email caps (150 or 400 a month) and an API that costs far more than influencers.club’s Pro plan. Full comparison: Modash alternatives.
HypeAuditor: audience-quality checks with 1,000 contact unlocks
HypeAuditor’s Basic plan lists 1,000 creator contact unlocks for $299 a month, with 1 user, 500 creator analyses, 10 advanced reports and 1 active campaign; lookalike search is not included on Basic14. Its own pricing page asks you to book a demo15.
- Vetting depth: its Audience Quality Score is “a 1-100 metric” built from “15 metrics which are split into 4 key categories”17, deeper than a public-signal estimate.
- Freshness: weekly, more often for high-activity accounts16.
Pick HypeAuditor if checking audience quality before you pay a creator matters more than email volume. See Modash vs HypeAuditor and HypeAuditor alternatives.
Watch out for: one user on Basic and no lookalike search at that tier.
Heepsy: a free plan and LinkedIn creators
Heepsy has a free plan with a monthly allowance: 500 results and 10 advanced profiles a month, with AI, lookalike and text search included18.
- Price: Starter $69 a month billed yearly or $89 monthly (5K results, 100 advanced profiles); Plus $149 or $199 (25K results, 500 profiles, contact details export); Advanced $229 or $299 (100K results, 2K profiles)18.
- Emails: only on advanced profiles you’ve unlocked, where the creator has public contact details18.
Pick Heepsy if you want a free plan to start or need LinkedIn creators; LinkedIn is not among the platforms Kolect, Modash or HypeAuditor list.
Watch out for: the smallest database claim of the five and emails tied to your advanced-profile allowance. Full comparison: Heepsy alternatives.

Stay with influencers.club if your work is data enrichment rather than search, or you need platforms the others don’t cover.

Independent reviews are thin.

Read the renewal terms before you subscribe, whichever tool you pick.

How to test an alternative before you pay
- Write one brief sentence: market, platform, follower range and niche, for example “mid-size US TikTok creators who post about home cleaning”.
- Run it in two tools on their free allowance: influencers.club gives 10 free credits1; Kolect shows 5 creators without an account, then 90 credits20; Modash’s trial unlocks 6 emails10; Heepsy’s free plan opens 10 advanced profiles18.
- Count usable contacts among the first 20 creators that fit: a working email you would actually send to, not just a result.
- Verify deliverability with your email verifier before the first send.
- Vet before you pay a creator. In Kolect’s screen of creator accounts with 5,000+ followers, 15.8% of TikTok accounts had median views below the warn line for their size, against 11.7% on YouTube and 1.1% on Instagram26. An email for a creator whose followers don’t watch is a wasted send.
- Work out cost per usable contact: plan price divided by the emails you would really use, then compare it with the creator fees you expect.
