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connects your accounts and builds the media kit from live numbers, so the deck you send a brand is not three months out of date.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.

Rival IQ
Benchmark your social against named rivals
Rival IQ is built around comparison rather than reporting: you name the companies you measure yourself against, and it tracks all of them on the same axes. That framing is why agencies and social teams buy it and why a solo creator usually will not. Historical depth and the number of tracked accounts are what separate the plans. Private analytics for accounts you own are an addition to the public benchmarking, not the point of it.
