What "campaign tracking" means in each tool
Some tools find posts for you by hashtag or mention. Some track every post from the creators you add. Some track only the links you paste.
All of them read public numbers: views, likes, comments, and shares. Reach, saves, and Stories data usually need the creator to connect their account or send screenshots.
Check which of these each tool does before comparing prices.

How to choose
Do you already have the creators? If yes, a tracker like Buzzlytics or viral.app is cheaper than a full influencer platform. If no, start with Modash, GRIN, or HypeAuditor.
How are posts found? Hashtag and mention tracking (HypeAuditor) misses posts where a creator forgets the tag. Roster tracking (Buzzlytics, Modash, GRIN) watches everything the creator posts. Link tracking (Buzzlytics, viral.app) counts exactly what you paste.
Which platforms? Most influencer platforms cover Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. If your creators post on X, Threads, Snapchat, Facebook, or Bluesky, check that the tool tracks them.
Who sees the results? If a client checks results weekly, test a live dashboard or a scheduled report, not just an export.
What does growth cost? Tracked-creator caps (Modash), wallet fees (GRIN), tracked-video caps (viral.app), and annual minimums (Upfluence) all change the real price.
Track one live campaign in two tools for a week before you commit.
