CreatorDB vs Meltwater Influencer Marketing

CreatorDB combines an influencer marketing agency with a creator data platform and API. Its database covers more than 30 million creator profiles across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The API returns up to 245 data points per creator, including audience demographics, engagement, growth history, and sponsorship information. A directory of more than 14,800 brands adds sponsorship details, spend estimates, and creator-to-brand lookup. Calls can be billed by requested field, starting at 0.1 credits per field and capped at the full-bundle price. A remote MCP server offers 45 read-only tools for Claude and other MCP-enabled agents. Active profiles refresh almost daily, and API responses include a lastDbUpdateTime timestamp. CreatorDB offers a free plan with minimal search and public profile views but no included credits; pay-as-you-go credits cost $0.040 each, with a $40 minimum top-up. Pro costs $79 a month for 3,160 credits. Included plan credits expire at month end; purchased credits last one year.
