How were the five tools for agency client campaigns scored?
Each tool gets a score from 1 to 5 on every criterion below. Every score cites a dated public source. The weighted score is the sum of score times weight, divided by 100.
| Criterion | Weight | What earns a 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Creator discovery | 30% | Finds creators who match the brand's niche and audience using published filters, with audience data shown before outreach. |
| AI-agent workflow | 35% | AI agents carry out campaign work such as discovery, outreach, seeding and reporting, in the app or from an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude, as a dated public source describes. |
| Seeding workflow | 15% | Runs product seeding from shortlist to shipped product to posted content without a spreadsheet in between. |
| Reporting | 10% | Reports posts, reach and sales per creator from the vendor's own published feature documentation. |
| Price to start | 10% | A published self-serve price a small brand can start on without a sales call. |

What is the catch with Storika?
Storika's client reports are built from verified posts rather than full sales attribution for every store, and it does not yet offer white-label reports. Pro covers one full campaign a month, so an agency running several clients in parallel needs the Max plan. An agency that sells branded analytics should compare the white-label tools first.
How much does each tool cost?
Prices are copied from a dated public source for each vendor: the vendor's own page, or a third-party page marked “reported by”. Each source and its date are listed under Claims and sources below.

| Influencer Hero | Standard | $649 per month[11] | $649 per month x 12 = $7,788 per year |
| JoinBrands | Startup | $99 per month, plus a 12% platform fee[16] | No yearly figure for this price |

Methodology
Storika publishes a roundup only when every price and every fact behind a score cites a dated public source and records the date Storika read it. An automated check runs before every site build and blocks the page if any price or scored fact lacks a dated source. Storika is one of the five tools and is scored on the same criteria, with its main drawback stated above.
