The short answer
Both sides assessedFavikon compared with Heepsy
Heepsy is the budget consumer option, from 69 euros a month billed annually with a free plan, covering Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and adding a creator marketplace, payments, and Shopify and WooCommerce attribution. Favikon costs more and does none of the payments or store work, but its network coverage, B2B filters, competitor Radar, and multichannel inbox are in a different league. A small DTC brand gets more from Heepsy; a software company gets almost nothing from Heepsy and a great deal from Favikon.
Heepsy compared with Favikon
Favikon costs more than Heepsy and offers no payments, marketplace fees, or store attribution, but it covers nine networks, adds B2B filters, competitor Radar, and a multichannel inbox. A small consumer brand on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube gets more for its money from Heepsy. A software or B2B company will find what it needs in Favikon rather than here.
Choose Favikon if
B2B companies, SaaS marketers, and small agencies that want to find and vet creators on LinkedIn, X, Substack, and YouTube as well as Instagram and TikTok, and run outreach and tracking on a monthly self-serve plan rather than an annual enterprise contract.
Choose Heepsy if
Small ecommerce brands, startups, and lean agencies that need to find, vet, and contact creators on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube on a self-serve budget, and want campaign management, payments, and Shopify sales attribution in the same tool rather than buying an enterprise creator platform.

| Pricing model | Subscription on two published self-serve plans and a quoted Enterprise tier, billed monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance (Favicoins) consumed by searches, profile unlocks, email lookups, and refreshes, plus caps on saved contacts, active campaigns, and tracked creators. Credits refresh monthly on every billing cycle, and extra credits are sold in packs. The help center lists the same figures in euros. | Flat monthly subscription in euros across four self-serve tiers plus a quote-only enterprise option. Every tier is metered on multiple axes at once: monthly search results, advanced profiles analyzed, outreach emails sent, creators tracked for content, active projects, and marketplace listings. Feature access is also tiered, so higher plans unlock capabilities rather than only raising limits. Additional outreach credits can be purchased on top of a plan. |
| Free plan | Accounts drop to a free plan after a trial or subscription ends; Rankings stay free, but the pricing page publishes no free-plan limits | 500 search results and 10 advanced profiles per month, 1 project, AI and lookalike search, all filters, CRM and content gallery, but no outreach emails and no contact details |
| Free trial | 7 days, no credit card, with 15 credits | No time-limited trial; the permanent free plan is the trial |
| Best for | B2B companies, SaaS marketers, and small agencies that want to find and vet creators on LinkedIn, X, Substack, and YouTube as well as Instagram and TikTok, and run outreach and tracking on a monthly self-serve plan rather than an annual enterprise contract. | Small ecommerce brands, startups, and lean agencies that need to find, vet, and contact creators on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube on a self-serve budget, and want campaign management, payments, and Shopify sales attribution in the same tool rather than buying an enterprise creator platform. |
| Setup time | A first search runs minutes after signup, and the free Rankings need no setup at all. A working campaign takes an afternoon: connecting email and, on Pro, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts, linking GA4, defining tracking hashtags and mentions, and importing an existing creator list by CSV. | Minutes to a first search, since the free plan needs only an email address. A working campaign takes longer: connecting a mailbox for two-way sync, installing the Shopify or WooCommerce app for attribution, and building the first project with a filtered shortlist is a half-day of work. |
| Learning curve | Low for search and rankings, moderate for the scores and the credit budget. Understanding what Authority, Influence, and Authenticity each measure takes a read of the published methodology, and rationing credits so a month's allowance is not spent on curiosity takes a few weeks of practice. | Low on the mechanics and moderate on the judgment. The filters and pipeline are self-explanatory. What takes practice is reading an advanced profile properly, knowing that a high engagement rate with a wrong-country audience is worthless, and rationing the analyzed-profile allowance so it is spent on genuine candidates rather than curiosity. |

Strengths and limitations
Favikon
Strengths
- Covers nine networks, including LinkedIn, X, Substack, Pinterest, and Twitch, where most rivals in this category index three to five consumer networks.
- Authenticity scoring designed for LinkedIn and X, with its weighting published, catches engagement pods and AI-templated posting that follower-count tools miss.
- Published prices with monthly, quarterly, and annual billing, a card checkout, and a 7 day trial with no credit card.
- Free public Rankings across more than 600 niches give a useful map of a market before spending a credit.
Limitations
- No creator payments, contracts, Shopify integration, discount codes, or affiliate links; ecommerce programs that pay and attribute sales through a platform need a second tool.
- Credits govern nearly everything, and at two credits per full profile the Core allowance supports a modest vetting volume before top-ups.
- Core allows only one active campaign or report and email-only outreach, so most teams end up on Pro.
- Saved lists, creators, and tracked rankings are deleted when a subscription expires, and unused credits cannot carry to a later subscription.
Heepsy
Strengths
- Published, self-serve pricing with a card checkout in a category where nearly every competitor hides behind a demo request.
- A free plan that is real enough to test data quality in your own niche before spending anything.
- Search filters that work on the audience, not just the creator, including audience location, age, and gender.
- Audience authenticity analysis presented plainly, which is the check most first-time influencer buyers do not know they need.
Limitations
- The creator index is smaller than the largest discovery databases in the category, and thin below roughly three thousand followers, which undercuts nano-influencer strategies.
- Coverage quality is uneven by region; it is strongest in Europe and the Americas and weaker across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
- Only Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are covered by search, so Twitch, X, Pinterest, and Snapchat programs need another tool. Some marketing pages also reference LinkedIn coverage that the plan comparison does not list, so verify it before buying on that basis.
- Six simultaneous usage meters make real capacity hard to predict, and the advanced-profile allowance is usually exhausted well before the search-results allowance.
Pricing compared
Favikon
Subscription on two published self-serve plans and a quoted Enterprise tier, billed monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance (Favicoins) consumed by searches, profile unlocks, email lookups, and refreshes, plus caps on saved contacts, active campaigns, and tracked creators. Credits refresh monthly on every billing cycle, and extra credits are sold in packs. The help center lists the same figures in euros.
- Core$159
- Pro$239
- EnterpriseCustom quote
For a B2B buyer Favikon is close to the only self-serve option in the category, and that alone justifies $239 a month on Pro: nothing else here indexes LinkedIn, X, and Substack creators with authenticity scoring built for those networks. For a consumer brand the comparison is harder, because Modash and Heepsy sell larger Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube indexes with payments and Shopify attribution at similar or lower prices, and Favikon has neither. The credit model is the thing to model before buying. Five hundred credits sounds like plenty until you see that a full profile costs two and an email lookup one, which makes Core roughly 150 fully vetted creators with email addresses a month in practice. Buy Core to test the data in your niche, expect to move to Pro if LinkedIn outreach or more than one live campaign is the plan, and budget for credit packs in heavy sourcing months.

Every tier is metered on multiple axes at once: monthly search results, advanced profiles analyzed, outreach emails sent, creators tracked for content, active projects, and marketplace listings.

- EnterpriseCustom quote
On capability per euro, Heepsy is one of the strongest offers in influencer marketing software for a small buyer. The comparable American platforms rarely publish a price at all and typically start in the high hundreds or low thousands per month on an annual contract; Heepsy will sell you search, vetting, outreach, a pipeline, payments, and Shopify attribution for 69 to 229 euros a month with a card. What you are trading away is index depth, non-European coverage, and the ability to buy exactly the one thing you need without the meters attached to it. If your campaign volume is a handful of creators per month and your market is Europe or the Americas, the value is clearly there. If you need thousands of nano-creators in Southeast Asia, no amount of price advantage fixes a database that does not contain them.
Editorial verdict on each
Favikon
Favikon is the influencer platform for teams whose creators are not only on Instagram and TikTok. Its nine-network index, LinkedIn and X authenticity scoring, B2B filters, and free Rankings make it the obvious self-serve choice for software and professional services companies, and the rebuilt V3 workflow (AI search, a multichannel inbox, tracked campaigns with cost and GA4 reporting, and an MCP server on Pro) covers most of what a small team needs to run a program. It is also one of the few platforms here that publishes prices and bills monthly. The gaps are specific. There are no payments, contracts, Shopify integration, or affiliate links, so ecommerce programs will find Modash, Heepsy, or Upfluence more complete. The credit model rewards careful vetting and punishes browsing, Core's single campaign slot pushes most teams to Pro at $239, and a lapsed subscription deletes saved lists. Run the free week on your own niche; if the right LinkedIn or X creators are in the rankings, it is the best buy in the category for a B2B brand.
Read the full Favikon profileHeepsy
Heepsy is the influencer marketing platform that will actually sell to a small business, and in a category built almost entirely on demo requests and annual contracts, that alone earns it a place. For 69 to 229 euros a month you get creator search with real audience filters, an authenticity check worth having before you spend money, bulk outreach with mailbox sync, a campaign pipeline, creator payments, and Shopify attribution, which is a complete loop rather than a fragment. The limits are equally clear and worth taking seriously: a smaller index that thins out below a few thousand followers, uneven coverage outside Europe and the Americas, only three networks, six overlapping usage meters that make capacity hard to plan, contact details withheld on the entry tier, and a refund reputation that makes an untested annual commitment a bad idea. Use the free plan to check whether the creators you want are in the database, buy monthly until you are sure, and expect to be on Plus rather than Starter if outreach is the point.
