The Modash alternative where creators come to you

Modash is a well-regarded influencer discovery and management tool: a searchable database of over 250 million creator profiles, plus outreach, tracking and payments. But it's sold as usage-tiered subscription software — plans start at $299/month billed yearly ($3,588/year, or $399 billed monthly), with caps on opened profiles and unlocked creator emails that push you up the ladder as you scale (as of July 2026, per Modash's public pricing). If you'd rather meet creators who already want brand deals than pay to unlock cold contact data, here's how Socialji compares.

What is Modash?

Modash is an influencer marketing platform founded in 2018, built around a database-style discovery engine covering Instagram, TikTok and YouTube creators, with filters on audience demographics and fake-follower checks, plus campaign tracking, inbox integration and creator payments.

It's genuinely good software for outbound discovery — this comparison is about the buying model: metered subscription software versus a marketplace where creators list themselves and apply to your campaigns.

Why brands switch to Socialji

• Creators who already want brand deals — Every profile on Socialji is a creator who signed up to be hired — no cold outreach to a database and no per-email unlock caps.
• No meter running while you browse — Opening profiles, posting campaigns and messaging are free on Socialji — you pay a small platform fee only when you actually hire (see Fees & Charges).
• Campaigns replace outreach sequences — Post a brief and take applications from interested creators instead of paying to unlock contact details and emailing cold.
• Escrow on every deal — Budgets are funded up front and released when you approve the work — payment protection isn't a higher-tier feature.

When Modash is still a good fit

If your strategy depends on outbound discovery at scale — finding specific creators who've never joined a marketplace, vetting audience quality with fake-follower analysis, and tracking always-on programs — Modash's database and tooling are excellent, and the subscription can pay for itself for teams running continuous outreach. Socialji is the better fit when you want willing creators, direct deals and no monthly software bill.

How hiring works on Socialji

2. Find creators your way — browse profiles and listed gigs, or post a campaign and take applications.
3. Agree terms directly — price, deliverables, timelines and usage rights, in writing, before any money moves.
4. Fund the deal in escrow so the creator is assured of payment.
5. Approve the work to release payment — and rebook your best creators for the next round.
