Trend.io

Trend gives you the convenience of a database with the white-glove service of an agency but without the sell-your-kidney prices. They curate a pre-vetted list of influencers just for your campaign and can cut campaign management time by as much as 50%. Trend.io runs on a credit model, requiring businesses to purchase minimum bundles starting at $500 just to get started. The Essential plan offers up to 14 videos or 35 photos (140 credits) for $1,045 for 1–2 channels or campaign shoots. Trend.io is praised for its ease of use and the professional look of much of the content it helps brands generate. However, common concerns include limited niche coverage, rigid credit-based pricing models that make ROI tracking a headache, and an overwhelming array of creators without strong filtering.
