Heepsy

Name: Heepsy
Brand: Heepsy
Price: 6989 USD

Influencer search, audience vetting, and campaign management priced for a small brand rather than an enterprise

Heepsy is an influencer marketing platform that lets brands and agencies search a database of several million Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube creators using filters for niche, location, follower count, engagement rate, and audience demographics, then vet each creator's audience authenticity, email them in bulk, manage the collaboration in a project pipeline, pay them, and track the content and sales that result. It is priced in euros, starts with a free plan, and its cheapest paid tier costs 69 euros per month billed annually.

Overview

Most influencer marketing platforms are sold on annual contracts to teams with a dedicated creator manager. Heepsy was built from the opposite direction: a self-serve search engine for creators, aimed at the ecommerce owner or solo marketer who has decided to try influencer marketing and needs to find twenty relevant accounts this week without booking a demo or signing a year-long deal. That positioning has stayed consistent since the company started in Bilbao, and it is still the clearest reason to choose Heepsy over the better-funded American platforms in the category.

The product has grown well past search. A Heepsy account now covers the full loop: discovery across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube; an advanced profile report per creator with audience geography, age and gender breakdowns, engagement history, and an authenticity read on how much of the following looks real; bulk and individual email outreach with two-way mailbox sync so replies land in the same place; projects with a kanban board and CRM fields for tracking who agreed to what; a creator marketplace where you post an offer and creators apply to you instead of the reverse; branded application pages for recruiting from your own channels; creator payments with a short holdback window; and reporting that ties content, clicks, and Shopify or WooCommerce orders back to individual creators.

The honest trade-off is depth of index and aggressiveness of gating. Heepsy's database is smaller than the largest discovery engines in the category, it is comparatively strongest in Europe and Spanish-speaking markets, and creators below a few thousand followers are thinly covered, which matters if your strategy is nano-influencer volume. The plan structure is also tightly metered: search results, analyzed profiles, outreach emails, tracked creators, projects, and marketplace listings all carry monthly counts, and the Starter tier notably does not include access to creator contact details, only outreach sent through Heepsy's own mail. None of this makes the product bad value at 69 euros a month; it does mean you should read the meter list before you buy rather than the headline price.

Best for

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.

Not the right fit for

Teams whose strategy depends on nano-creators; Heepsy's index thins out badly below roughly three thousand followers, so the long tail you want is often simply not there.
Brands whose core market is outside Europe and the Americas; coverage is uneven in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East compared with the largest discovery indexes.
Anyone who needs creator discovery on Twitch, X, Pinterest, or Snapchat, none of which are covered by the search product.
Enterprise programs that require SSO, granular role permissions, custom contracts, or a dedicated integration layer, which are quote-only conversations here rather than published capabilities.
Buyers who want to export a creator contact list on the entry plan; contact-detail access starts on the Plus tier, not on Starter.
Affiliate-first programs that need multi-tier commissions, coupon-level attribution, and payout rails across many partner types, which is a job for a dedicated affiliate platform.

How it works

1
You search the creator index. Four modes exist side by side: an AI mode where you describe the creator you want in plain language, a text match on bio and content, a lookalike search seeded from a creator you already like, and a direct handle lookup. On top of that sit more than thirty filters covering network, category, follower band, engagement rate, location down to city, language, audience age and gender, audience location, and whether a contact email exists. Exclusion filters remove creators you have already worked with or do not want.
2
You open advanced profiles on the shortlist. Each report costs one unit from your monthly analyzed-profile allowance and returns audience demographics, engagement history, recent content, estimated pricing context, and an authenticity assessment that flags follower patterns consistent with purchased audiences. This is the step that separates a plausible-looking account from one worth paying, and the allowance (10 on Free, 100 on Starter, 500 on Plus, 1,000 on Advanced) is usually the meter that runs out first.
3
You move the shortlist into a project. Projects are the working unit: a creator list plus a kanban pipeline, CRM fields, notes, media, and shared access. From there you email creators individually or in bulk, using templates with personalization tokens, an attached campaign brief, and on higher tiers AI-drafted copy and automated follow-up sequences. Replies sync back both ways with your mailbox so a conversation started in Heepsy can be finished in Gmail.
4
For inbound, you publish the offer instead of chasing. A marketplace listing puts your campaign in front of Heepsy's creator side, where creators filter by network, category, and location and apply to you; a branded application page does the same thing on a URL you can share on your own site or social channels. Both funnel applicants into the same project pipeline.
5
You close the loop with payments and reporting. Creator payments run through Heepsy by card, with a short holdback after content is confirmed so a brand can raise a complaint before funds move, and a processing fee on top of the payment amount. Content tracking pulls posts and videos automatically for tracked creators, the media gallery holds the assets, and the Shopify or WooCommerce integration attributes clicks and orders to individual creators so commissions can be calculated on real referred revenue rather than a flat guess.

Feature breakdown

30 features in 5 modules

Search and discovery

The original product, and still the reason most buyers arrive.

AI search from a plain-language brief: Describe the creator you want, including the kind of content and the audience, and Heepsy returns matches without you translating the brief into filter settings first.
Lookalike search: Seed the search with a creator who already performed well and get accounts with a similar content profile and audience shape, which is the fastest way to scale a working campaign.
Thirty-plus filters: Network, category, follower band, engagement rate, creator location down to city, language, and post frequency, combinable rather than applied one at a time.
Audience demographic filters: Filter on the audience rather than the creator: where followers live, their age split, and their gender split, which is what actually determines whether a placement reaches your buyers.
Contact availability filter: Restrict results to creators with a discoverable public email so a shortlist does not collapse when you try to reach anyone on it.
Exclusion filters: Remove categories, locations, or accounts you do not want from a result set, useful for screening out competitors' existing partners and creators you have already burned.
Text and handle search: Match against bio and content text, or look up a specific handle directly when you want a report on one creator rather than a discovery run.

Creator analysis

The vetting step, metered separately from search.

Advanced profile report: A per-creator report with audience geography, age and gender breakdown, engagement history, and recent content, drawn against a monthly allowance of analyzed profiles.
Authenticity scoring: Follower and engagement patterns are checked for signals of purchased audiences and pods, which is the single most valuable output for a brand about to spend real money.
Engagement rate benchmarking: Engagement is read against the creator's follower band rather than in the abstract, since a 2 percent rate means very different things at 10,000 followers and at a million.
Profile refresh: Re-pull a creator's data on demand so you are negotiating against current numbers rather than a cached snapshot from months ago.
Add missing creators: Submit a handle that is not indexed and have it added, the practical workaround when a creator you found elsewhere is absent from the database.
PDF profile export: Export a creator report as a PDF, which is how agencies get a shortlist in front of a client who does not have a Heepsy login.

Outreach and CRM

Contacting creators and keeping track of who said what.

Bulk and individual email: Email a whole project at once with a template, or contact a creator one at a time as you find them, both counted against a monthly outreach email allowance.
Two-way mailbox sync: Replies from creators appear inside Heepsy and in your own inbox, so a conversation is not stranded in a tool nobody checks.
Templates and personalization: Editable dynamic templates with merge fields, an attachable campaign brief, and document attachments, so a hundred emails do not read as a hundred identical emails.
AI email composition and sequences: On Plus and above, AI drafts the outreach and automated follow-ups fire on creators who did not reply, which is where most of the response rate actually comes from.
Projects, kanban, and CRM fields: Each campaign gets a board with stages, notes, and per-creator fields, plus bulk editing so you are not updating fifty records individually.
Outreach status filtering and analytics: Filter creators by where they sit in the outreach flow, and read open and reply performance to tell a dead template from a dead list.

Inbound recruitment

Getting creators to come to you instead of chasing them.

Creator marketplace listings: Post a campaign offer to Heepsy's creator side and receive applications, filtered by the creator on network, category, and location; listings are capped per tier and unlimited on Advanced.
Product showcase in offers: Attach the actual products a creator will receive to the listing, which raises application quality for gifting and seeding campaigns.
Branded application pages: A hosted recruitment page with custom fields, and on the Advanced tier custom appearance, that you link from your own site, packaging, or social bio.
Campaign visibility boosting: Advanced-tier promotion that pushes a listing higher in the marketplace, useful when an offer is competing against better-known brands.
Creator detection from your own lists: Upload customer emails or social handles and Heepsy identifies which of them are creators, turning existing customers into ambassador candidates. Advanced tier only.

Payments, tracking, and reporting

The part that turns a campaign into a number you can defend.

Creator payments with holdback: Pay creators by card from inside a project, with funds released only if no complaint is raised about the published content within roughly three days; Heepsy charges a processing fee on each payment.
Invoicing and payment status: Invoices are generated and stored alongside the collaboration, with recurring payments for ongoing ambassador arrangements and a visible status per payout.
Automatic content tracking: Posts and videos from tracked creators are pulled in as they publish, with per-tier caps on how many creators can be tracked and how many pieces can be added by URL.
Media gallery: A central library of creator content with filters and export, which is where the usage-rights conversation and the paid-ads repurposing actually starts.
Shopify and WooCommerce attribution: Trackable links tie clicks and orders back to individual creators so commission can be calculated on referred revenue rather than negotiated blind.
Project reports: Campaign-level reporting on content performance, creator performance, and traffic and sales impact, with editable report data, gated to the higher tiers.

Use cases

4 documented

Owner of a Shopify skincare brand doing 40,000 euros a month

Paid social costs have climbed past what the margin supports and the owner wants to test gifting campaigns with micro-creators, but has never run one and does not want a year-long platform contract.

A Starter subscription funds a filtered search for beauty creators in two target countries with 10,000 to 60,000 followers and a credible audience read, 100 profiles are vetted, 300 outreach emails go out, and the Shopify integration shows which of the twelve creators who posted actually produced orders.

Two-person agency running influencer campaigns for four clients

Shortlists live in spreadsheets, outreach lives in four different Gmail accounts, and every client report is rebuilt by hand at the end of the month.

Each client becomes a project with its own pipeline and media gallery, outreach is centralized with two-way sync, and PDF creator reports and project reports replace the manual deck; the Plus tier covers the volume at a fraction of what an enterprise creator platform would quote.

Marketing lead at a DTC coffee company building an ambassador program

The company suspects that some of its best customers already post about coffee, but has no way to find out which of the 30,000 people on its list are creators.

Creator detection on the Advanced tier matches the customer email list against the creator index, surfaces several hundred qualifying accounts, and recurring payments and a branded application page turn the strongest of them into a standing ambassador roster.

Growth marketer at a Series A app who needs UGC ad creative, not reach

The brief is fifteen pieces of short-form video for paid social every month, and follower count is close to irrelevant.

Search filters on content style and engagement quality rather than audience size, a marketplace listing pulls in applicants who want the flat fee, and the media gallery becomes the intake queue for the ads team.

Pricing

from Free plan; paid plans from 69 euros per month billed annually (89 euros month to month)

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.

Plan	Price	Includes
Free	0 euros per month	500 search results and 10 advanced profiles per month One project, full filter set, AI, lookalike, and text search Projects, CRM, content gallery, and the Shopify and WooCommerce integration Genuinely usable for evaluating data quality in your niche before paying, but it has no outreach email and no contact-detail access, so it cannot run a campaign on its own.
Starter	69 euros per month billed annually, 89 euros monthly	5,000 search results, 100 advanced profiles, and 300 outreach emails per month 5 creators tracked, 5 projects, 1 marketplace listing Individual and bulk emailing, two-way email sync, templates, result export, click and sales tracking The realistic entry point for a first campaign, with one significant catch: exporting or accessing raw creator contact details is not included, so outreach has to run through Heepsy.
Plus	149 euros per month billed annually, 199 euros monthly	25,000 search results, 500 advanced profiles, and 1,200 outreach emails per month 50 creators tracked, 15 projects, 5 marketplace listings AI email composition, automated follow-up sequences, creator payments, contact-detail export, detailed project analytics The tier most agencies and multi-campaign brands actually need, since payments, follow-up sequences, and contact export all start here.
Advanced	229 euros per month billed annually, 299 euros monthly	50,000 search results, 1,000 advanced profiles, and 6,000 outreach emails per month 100 creators tracked, unlimited projects and marketplace listings Creator detection from your own customer lists, branded application pages, campaign visibility boosting, priority support
Enterprise	Custom quote annual	Custom limits above the published Advanced ceilings Negotiated terms for high-volume agencies and larger brands Sales-led, and the only route to anything beyond the published tiers.

Add-ons

Additional outreach credits (Purchased on top of a plan): Email allowances can be topped up mid-cycle rather than forcing an upgrade to the next tier.
Creator payment processing fee (A percentage fee on each creator payout): Applies only when you pay a creator through Heepsy; paying creators outside the platform avoids it but also forfeits the dispute holdback.

Billing notes

Prices are quoted in euros, which means a US or UK buyer carries currency conversion and whatever their card issuer charges on a foreign transaction.
Annual billing saves roughly 22 to 25 percent against month to month on every paid tier as published August 2026.
The plan is metered on six axes at once, and running out of any one of them (most often advanced profiles) stops that activity for the month regardless of how much headroom the other meters have.
Contact-detail access and export begin on Plus, not Starter, which is the gating decision most likely to force an upgrade sooner than the buyer planned.
Creator detection, branded page customization, and campaign boosting are Advanced-only, so ambassador programs built on an existing customer list start at 229 euros per month.
Multiple public reviews report a firm no-refund stance on unused subscription time, including on requests made shortly after purchase; treat the free plan as the evaluation window rather than assuming you can unwind a paid month.

Value assessment: 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.

Strengths & limitations

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.
The full loop in one subscription: discovery, vetting, outreach, pipeline, payments, content tracking, and ecommerce sales attribution.
Inbound recruitment through the marketplace and branded application pages, which suits brands with an existing audience better than pure cold outreach.
Genuinely strong coverage of European and Spanish-speaking creator markets relative to platforms built US-first.
Creator detection against your own customer list is an unusually good ambassador-program feature for the price bracket.

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.
Creator contact details are withheld on the Starter tier, so the cheapest paid plan locks you into Heepsy's own outreach rather than your existing email stack.
Payments carry a per-transaction processing fee on top of the subscription, so the cost of running creator payouts through the platform is not captured by the plan price.
Reviewers consistently report a rigid no-refund policy and difficulty unwinding charges after cancellation, which raises the cost of a purchase made without testing the free plan first.
The interface is functional rather than polished, and several reviewers describe it as dated next to more expensive competitors.
No public API, no published SSO, and no enterprise permission model, so it does not fit into a larger martech stack as a data source.

Head-to-head comparisons

6 alternatives

Heepsy vs Modash

from $199 per month billed annually ($2,388 per year); $299 per month on month-to-month billing

The closest direct comparison on the discovery axis, and Modash generally wins on raw index size and data depth, with a much larger creator database and stronger coverage outside Europe. Heepsy wins on breadth of workflow at the same price point: Modash is primarily discovery, analytics, and tracking, while Heepsy adds a marketplace, application pages, creator payments, and ecommerce attribution in the same subscription. Pick Modash if the bottleneck is finding the right creators anywhere in the world; pick Heepsy if the bottleneck is running the whole campaign on a small budget.

Full Heepsy vs Modash comparison

Heepsy vs Upfluence

from Custom quote only; no published price. Third-party reporting puts realistic entry around $478 per month for a single module, with typical full-platform contracts running several thousand dollars a month.

Upfluence is the larger, older platform with a bigger index, deeper ecommerce integrations, and a real enterprise story, and it is priced accordingly, typically quote-only and starting far above Heepsy's ceiling. Heepsy is the version of that idea a small brand can buy today with a card. The functional overlap is substantial (search, vetting, outreach, Shopify attribution), so the decision is usually made on budget and contract appetite rather than features.

Full Heepsy vs Upfluence comparison

Heepsy vs Aspire

from Not published; third-party sources report roughly $2,000 to $2,300 per month on a mandatory 12-month contract, plus a one-time onboarding fee

Aspire is built around long-running creator communities and branded ambassador programs, with strong workflow, contracting, and content-rights handling, sold to mid-market and enterprise brands on annual terms. Heepsy covers a similar loop at a tenth of the cost with less polish and a smaller index. A brand running a permanent ambassador program with dozens of active creators outgrows Heepsy and lands somewhere like Aspire; a brand running four campaigns a year almost certainly should not be paying Aspire prices.

Full Heepsy vs Aspire comparison

Heepsy vs GRIN

from Free (200 monthly credits, no card); paid plans from $200 per month

Grin is a creator management system first and a discovery tool second, designed around ecommerce brands with an in-house creator team, deep Shopify integration, product seeding logistics, and per-creator relationship history. It is an enterprise purchase with enterprise onboarding. Heepsy competes only on the parts a small brand actually uses: find creators, check they are real, email them, pay them, see the sales. If you have one person doing influencer marketing part-time, Grin is the wrong size of tool.

Full Heepsy vs GRIN comparison

Heepsy vs Later

from $18.75 per month billed annually (Starter), or $25 billed monthly

Later approaches creators from the social media management side, pairing scheduling and publishing with its influencer offering, so it appeals to teams that already run their organic social in Later. Heepsy has no scheduling or publishing at all and is better at the discovery and vetting half, particularly audience authenticity and demographic filtering. Teams often run both, with Later owning the owned channels and Heepsy owning creator sourcing.

Full Heepsy vs Later comparison

Heepsy vs Refersion

from Free (Marketplace Listing), then $39/mo plus 3% of affiliate sales (Launch)

Different jobs that get confused because both end in creator payouts. Refersion is an affiliate platform: link and coupon attribution, commission rules, and payouts across a partner program, with no creator discovery at all. Heepsy finds and vets the creators and tracks referred sales through Shopify or WooCommerce, but its commission and payout logic is simple by comparison. Brands running a genuine affiliate program with hundreds of partners should use Refersion for the money side and Heepsy, if at all, for sourcing.

Full Heepsy vs Refersion comparison

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time: 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 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.
Onboarding: Fully self-serve, with an Intercom-hosted help center, a substantial blog and influencer marketing guide, and case studies. A demo booking exists for the sales-led path, and priority support is an Advanced-tier feature rather than a default.
Migration notes: There is little structural migration to do. Creator lists can be imported into projects on higher tiers and results export to spreadsheet, so moving in from a spreadsheet workflow is straightforward. Moving out is the harder direction: export creator lists, contact details (Plus tier and above), project data, and content before cancelling, and remember that historical campaign reporting does not travel. Given the reported no-refund stance, time the switch to a renewal boundary rather than cancelling mid-term.

Platform, API & security

Platforms: Web applicationShopify appWooCommerce pluginCreator-facing marketplace and application pages
API: No public developer API is published. Integration is limited to the ecommerce apps, mailbox sync, and CSV import and export of creators, results, and contact details on eligible tiers.
Compliance: GDPR
Data residency: EU-based company operating under EU data protection law; specific hosting region is not published.
Security notes: Creator data is drawn from publicly available social profiles rather than supplied by the creators themselves, which is worth understanding before an outreach program at volume: the applicable rules for unsolicited commercial email to a scraped public address are yours to comply with, not the vendor's. Payments run by card through the platform with a short post-delivery holdback and a dispute path.

Support & resources

Channels: Email supportIn-app chatHelp centerPriority support on the Advanced tier
Documentation: An Intercom-hosted help center covering the product surface, supplemented by an unusually large content library: an influencer marketing guide, industry trend coverage, case studies, and a set of free public tools including engagement rate calculators, fake follower checks, and pricing calculators for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Community: No formal user community. The public free tools and the creator-side marketplace are the main sources of visibility, and Heepsy has become a common reference point in influencer marketing content because those calculators rank well.

Frequently asked questions

12 questions

What is Heepsy and what does it do?

Heepsy is an influencer marketing platform for finding, vetting, contacting, managing, and paying creators. You search a database of several million Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube creators using filters for niche, location, follower count, engagement, and audience demographics, open detailed profile reports that check whether the audience is genuine, email creators in bulk, run the collaboration through a project pipeline, pay them through the platform, and track resulting content and Shopify or WooCommerce sales.

How much does Heepsy cost?

There is a permanent free plan. Paid tiers are Starter at 69 euros per month billed annually (89 euros month to month), Plus at 149 euros annually (199 monthly), and Advanced at 229 euros annually (299 monthly). An enterprise tier exists on a custom quote. Prices are in euros, so non-eurozone buyers should account for conversion.

Is Heepsy free?

There is a free plan, not a free trial, and it is more limited than the marketing suggests: 500 search results and 10 advanced profile reports per month, one project, and no outreach emails or contact-detail access. It is enough to judge whether the database has the creators you need in your niche and region, which is exactly what you should use it for before paying.

How big is Heepsy's influencer database?

Heepsy describes a database of millions of creator profiles across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with public figures cited in the four to eleven million range depending on the page and the year. Either way it is meaningfully smaller than the largest discovery indexes in the category, and it is strongest in Europe and the Americas. Coverage of creators below roughly three thousand followers is thin.

Which social networks does Heepsy cover?

Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are the covered networks for search and analysis. Some Heepsy marketing pages also mention LinkedIn, but the published plan comparison lists only the three, so confirm it directly if LinkedIn creators are the reason you are buying. Twitch, X, Pinterest, and Snapchat are not covered.

Does Heepsy give you influencer email addresses?

Yes, but not on every plan. Access to and export of creator contact details starts on the Plus tier at 149 euros per month. On the Starter tier you can send outreach through Heepsy (300 emails per month) but cannot take the contact details out of the platform. That gate is the most common reason a Starter subscriber ends up upgrading.

Can Heepsy detect fake followers?

It analyzes follower and engagement patterns for the signals associated with purchased audiences, engagement pods, and inactive accounts, and presents an authenticity read on each advanced profile. Treat it as a strong screening signal rather than a verdict: any tool working from public data is inferring, and the sensible use is to filter out obviously inflated accounts before you spend time on a shortlist.

Does Heepsy integrate with Shopify?

Yes. The Shopify integration (and a WooCommerce equivalent) attributes clicks and orders to individual creators through trackable links, so you can see which collaborations produced revenue and calculate commissions on real referred sales. It appears in the feature list from the free plan onward, though the campaign-level reporting that makes it useful sits on the higher tiers.

Can I pay creators through Heepsy?

Yes, from the Plus tier upward. Payments run by card from inside a project, invoices are generated and stored, recurring payments are supported for ambassadors, and funds are held for roughly three days after content is confirmed so a brand can raise a complaint first. Heepsy charges a processing fee on each payout, which is separate from the subscription.

Heepsy vs Modash: which is better?

Modash generally has the larger and more global creator index with deeper analytics, so it wins when discovery itself is the hard part. Heepsy covers more of the campaign workflow for the money, adding a creator marketplace, application pages, payments, and ecommerce attribution alongside search. Small brands on a tight budget with a European or American focus tend to land on Heepsy; teams whose priority is finding creators anywhere in the world tend to land on Modash.

Does Heepsy offer refunds?

Public reviews consistently describe a firm no-refund stance on subscription time, including for requests made very shortly after purchase, and some users report difficulty stopping charges after cancelling. Whatever the current written policy says, the practical advice is the same: evaluate on the free plan, start on monthly billing if you are unsure, and do not treat an annual commitment as reversible.

Is Heepsy suitable for agencies?

For small agencies, yes. Projects separate clients cleanly, PDF creator reports and project reports are client-presentable, and the Advanced tier gives unlimited projects and marketplace listings for 229 euros a month, which is far below what enterprise creator platforms quote. The gaps for an agency are the absence of true multi-workspace client separation, no SSO or granular role permissions, and no API for pushing data into client reporting stacks.

Editorial verdict

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.
