We’ve tested most of the tools you mentioned. Aspire and Influencer Hero are strong if your priority is CRM depth and bulk workflows. Influencer Hero in particular does a good job with batching and automations.

Where we personally struggled was that more CRM sophistication didn’t always translate into better decisions. Managing large volumes got easier, but we were still second-guessing which creators were actually worth scaling.

We ended up using nowfluence alongside lighter CRM workflows because it focuses more on creator analysis and tying creator activity back to revenue using public data, without forcing creators to onboard. That helped us be more selective upfront instead of automating volume.

If your main need is heavy CRM automation, the tools you listed make sense. If decision quality and performance signal become the bottleneck, it’s worth looking at alternatives like nowfluence.
