HypeAuditor

  • The Internet Archive's capture of HypeAuditor's pricing page on 21 January 2021 named four product hubs, Reports Hub, Discovery Hub (searching a 10 million-plus influencer database), Tracking Hub, and Market Analysis, but no figures appeared, only a 'Get Started' signup.

Shopify Collabs

  • A 2.9% processing fee is applied to every automatic commission payment and charged to the merchant's Shopify bill
  • Requires a Shopify store, so it is unusable by brands not selling on Shopify
  • Commissions are handled in USD and merchants billed in another currency pay local conversion fees
  • Creators who do not submit a W9 have their annual payouts capped at $599.99 USD
  • Collabs is not accepting new creator signups, so brands can only work with creators already on the platform or invited directly
