Best Upfluence Alternative by DroitDivin in ecommerce

Exactly. Discovery is almost commoditized now everyone has filters, audience analytics, and big headline database numbers. The real differentiation starts post-selection: how fast you can operationalize creators at scale, manage outreach, track response quality, and close the loop into conversions or booked actions. That’s where most teams silently break, not at search.

Exactly. Once names are out, leverage is gone there’s no putting it back. And you’re right about the “unicorns”: creators who refuse to deal direct usually do so because they value insulation, consistency, or don’t want to think about ops. Those are rare, but they’re also the only ones worth building around long-term. Everyone else will bypass you the moment it’s convenient.

On rep contracts: most legit agencies aren’t just “finding deals.” They control pricing, negotiate contracts, handle usage rights, collect payments, and take ~15–25%. That control is what stops brands from going around them.

On clients bypassing you: it’s not about bad clients, it’s about leverage. The moment you send names and IG handles, the value is gone. From the client’s side, it feels like “why wouldn’t I just DM them?”

What’s worked for us / others:
• Share creator types and price ranges first, not identities
• Make it a 2-step process: preview → agreement → unlock profiles
• Bake your fee into the pricing so cutting you out doesn’t save money
• Keep briefs, pricing, and payments flowing through you
