The short version

  • Only Modash has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Modash essentials plan at $199 per month includes only 2 team members and 300 profile opens per month; Grin billed on monthly credits rather than seats, and credits are consumed at different rates by activity, so identical usage months can cost different amounts
  • They diverge on capability: Modash covers 250M+ creator database, Grin covers Creator discovery.
