Running the business
Creator.co and Modash both list $199 a month, but Creator.co adds a three-month minimum that its own listing says makes the real entry cost $597; Modash's listing states no such term. Modash searches by audience data, where followers live, how old they are, across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, revealing 150 creator emails and discovering up to 3,000 creators a month at that price. Creator.co is a database creators apply to directly. Modash is a search tool where the creator is what you are looking for, not who is applying.

Creator campaigns run for you or run yourself
Creator.co sits between a creator marketplace and an agency: the self-serve plan gives a brand the database and the workflow, and the managed one puts a team on the campaign instead. Creators join free and apply to the campaigns they fit. The three-month minimum on both plans is the detail worth reading before signing, because it makes a trial run cost more than the monthly price suggests.
Our note
The three-month minimum is the number that matters: the entry plan is really $597 to try. For creators the calculation is different and simpler, since joining costs nothing and being listed in more places is rarely a mistake.
Influencer search with audience data
Modash searches Instagram, YouTube and TikTok creators by audience rather than by follower count, so a brand can filter on where the followers live and how old they are before paying anybody. Campaign tracking and payouts run through the same tool. It is priced for brands and agencies, and a creator is the product here rather than the customer.
Pick Creator.co if you want creators applying to a campaign you post, with the option of a managed team at $1,499 a month. Budget for the three-month minimum, since that turns the $199 headline into a $597 real cost to try it.
Pick Modash if finding and filtering creators by audience, not just follower count, is the actual job, especially at volume across three platforms in one search. The entry plan is $199 a month with no minimum term stated, revealing 150 emails and 3,000 creators discovered a month, and payments carry no fee up to $10,000 a year.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
