Frequently asked
- Is InfluencerUnion cheaper than Aspire?
- InfluencerUnion has no brand-side fee at all — posting a collaboration, receiving applications, and contacting creators are all free, with no commission on what a brand pays a creator. Aspire is subscription, custom/gated pricing. Pricing is not published — brands go through a sales demo. Third-party comparison sites report entry pricing starting around $750/month, scaling to custom annual contracts for larger programs.
- Why is InfluencerUnion free for brands?
- It's a structural choice, not a promotion: InfluencerUnion's revenue comes entirely from a creator membership fee, never from brands. Because brand-side revenue isn't part of the business model, there's no future version where posting, receiving applications, or contacting a creator starts costing money.
- What does Aspire do that InfluencerUnion doesn't?
- Aspire is a relationship-management platform for brands running ongoing influencer programs — creator discovery, campaign workflow, and payments in one tool. InfluencerUnion is a free-for-brands aggregator and application marketplace — it does not offer campaign-management workflow, payment processing, or UGC-licensing tools the way Aspire does. The right tool depends on whether a brand needs that extra software, or just wants to find and contact real creators at no cost.
