The social monitoring map
Creator analytics
44 companies on the social monitoring map. Updated .
Creator analytics tools help a team find and vet influencers. They search large creator databases by niche, location and audience, check for fake followers and track the posts in a campaign.
Instagram, TikTok and YouTube are the main platforms here. Modash and HypeAuditor sell large creator databases, and CreatorIQ and Traackr serve enterprise programs. Influencer Hero's MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to its creator search.
