Comparison · Marketplaces & booking
Collabstr lets you book creators at fixed package prices, directly from their profiles even without a subscription. Booking is the easy part. The second and third tests are harder. Here's when a marketplace is enough, and when a systematic channel delivers more.
Collabstr is an online marketplace for paid collaborations with influencers and UGC creators. As of October 2026.
Brands meet creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. According to the provider, direct hires from profiles work without a subscription, with a 10% fee per order.
Creators offer packages at a fixed price on their profiles, such as an Instagram Reel. You see what gets delivered and what it costs before you book.
Or you send your own offer. Campaigns that creators apply to come with the Pro and Premium subscription plans.
Collabstr holds the money until the content is delivered and approved by you.
That takes more than a statistic per deal. So we build the channel in three phases: potential analysis, testing roadmap and scaling.
A collaboration on Collabstr is booked quickly. The first test is rarely the problem.
It gets hard the second time: which creator really sold for you, and why?
Where do you find the next creator who works just as well? Without analysis across all rounds, every selection starts over.
Every booking is linked to your store, measured against your target CAC and feeds the next selection. When scaling, we look for lookalikes of the top performers.
On a marketplace you compare prices per collaboration. For your store, something else matters: what a new customer costs you via creators, and whether that number falls with every round.

300+ stores successfully scaled
by turning creators into a reliable acquisition channel
Collabstr shows what an individual collaboration delivered. IDA shows what all your collaborations mean for your store: creator against creator, month against month, every metric beside your target.
Views per collaboration
Each collaboration on its own, sorted by reach: whoever was seen most comes first.
Cost per new customer by creator
The same creators, sorted by cost per new customer. The creator with the most reach brings the most expensive new customers here.
Every new proposal includes expected views, effective CPM and total costs in IDA before you approve the creator.
IDA brings your data together, updated daily. Every booking recommendation we make is backed by evidence—giving you a solid foundation for profitable, scalable influencer marketing.
See every booked campaign: creator, status, audience, vertical, launch date, expected views and cost. Once it goes live, conversions, CAC and ROAS appear in the same row.
If creators are to become a reliable new-customer channel, one-off purchases are not enough. That takes data-driven selection, tracking into your store and a system where every booking builds on the last.
Quickly and with limited risk.
Creators deliver the content, you run it yourselves.
Direct hires from profiles work without a subscription too.
A first test before you build a system.
From creator proposals and tracking to analysis: see how IDA works day to day.
Of course. That can make sense for UGC or a quick individual test. For the channel we build together, we scout, negotiate and book ourselves, measuring everything in IDA so each booking connects to your store.
There is no universal figure; we assess every case individually. A typical starting point is €5,000–€10,000 in monthly creator spend plus our retainer. We assess the potential before any budget goes to creators.
After four weeks, you receive the potential analysis: response rates, suitable verticals and a budget recommendation. The testing roadmap typically identifies the first top performers within three months. From month four, we scale what works.
With IDA, our own analytics software. It combines codes, UTM links, store data and platform reports, breaking each placement down into CAC, ROI and CLV at creator level. That tells us who deserves more budget.
Exclusively from the provider's official website, as of October 2026. We quote prices only where the provider publishes them. Features and pricing change; the provider's offer is always authoritative. If you spot an error, please let us know.
Tell us what you sell, where you are today and what you want to achieve with creators. We will review your store and email you an initial assessment.
