Kitly
A media kit that updates itself
Kitly connects your accounts and builds the media kit from live numbers, so the deck you send a brand is not three months out of date. Campaign deliverables and reporting sit alongside it, which is the half of a brand deal that happens after the money is agreed. Creators are also listed in a network brands search. Both plans are billed by the year and the monthly equivalent is what the page quotes.
Our note
Two linked accounts on Starter is the limit worth checking against how you actually work, because a creator on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube is already past it. At under $200 a year Premium is cheap against a single brand deal, and the argument for it is the live numbers rather than the network listing.

Pillar
A creator store, media kit and booking page
Pillar puts the storefront, the media kit and the calendar behind one link, and the media kit updates itself from connected accounts rather than waiting for somebody to rebuild a PDF. Digital products, bookings and invoices are all sold from the same page. The seller fee on the entry plan is the thing to check against what you expect to sell.
