Influencer platform pricing changes: what 20 pricing pages changed
KALO IQ reads the pricing pages of the 20 influencer platforms its comparison pages name most often and records the same eleven fields on every fetch. The first snapshot is the one behind the hidden cost report of 27 October 2026. The second was read on 4 November 2026. Between the two dates none of the 18 readable competitor pages changed a tracked field. Two moved to a new address and KALO IQ changed four fields on its own pricing page.
Method: each pricing page is read on its fetch date and recorded against the rubric fields of the hidden cost report. A field the page does not state is recorded as absent and a page that sends the reader to sales is recorded as sales only. Nothing is estimated.
What is tracked and how
A pricing page can change without notice. A plan gets renamed, a cap moves, an annual contract becomes the only option. This log reads the same pages on each fetch date so a change shows up as a dated entry instead of a surprise on an invoice.
Each fetch records eleven fields for every platform: the lowest listed price and its billing term, whether any price is shown, seats and the cost of an extra seat, the allowance and what happens on overage, unlock and export limits, API access and its cost, the setup fee, the minimum term, cancellation terms, the trial and whether a card is taken, plus which plans are sales only.
A field changes in this log only when the page states something different. A page that says nothing on both dates stays absent and a page that blocks the fetch stays blocked. KALO IQ's own pricing page is read the same way and sits in the same table.
Change log, newest first
One entry per platform per fetch. A platform whose page states the same fields as on the previous fetch gets a one-line no change.
4 November 2026
Four fields changed. Seats went from 1 on Free and Starter, 5 on Growth and 15 on Agency to 1, 1, 3 and 10, with extra seats stated as not sold yet. The allowance went from searches stated with no monthly number and outreach of 100, 500 and 2,000 emails to 750, 6,000, 30,000 and 120,000 search results a month and outreach of 0, 400, 750 and 2,500 emails marked coming soon. The action now pauses at the cap with no overage charge. Unlocks and exports went from CSV and PDF export on Growth and Agency to 15, 125, 700 and 3,000 profile unlocks a month with CSV export on Growth and Agency and no top-ups sold yet. API access went from included on Agency to not stated on the pricing page.
Address only. The pricing address without a trailing slash answers 404. The address the homepage links to answers 200 and states the same fields as on 27 October.
Address only. The App Store listing moved to a new address and the old one answers 404. The listing states the same fields: free to install, a 2.9% processing fee on automatic payments may apply and set-up is free.

Current state of all 20 platforms and KALO IQ

Sales only, blocked and moved pages
Sales only
Eleven of the 18 readable pages show no price for the influencer product. They send the reader to a call, a demo or a form. This log records that as sales only on each date instead of filling the field with an estimate.
HTTP 403
IZEA and Collabstr refused the fetch with HTTP 403 on 27 October and again on 4 November. Their fields are recorded as not fetchable and they are left out of every count above.
HTTP 404
Aspire, Tagger and Captiv8 answer 404 at their pricing address on both dates. Aspire and Captiv8 show no price elsewhere either. Tagger is sold as Sprout Social Influencer Marketing so its fields come from that page.
Moved pages
Influencity and Shopify Collabs answered 404 at the 27 October address and 200 at a new one. A moved page is logged as an address change. Its fields are compared at the new address.
Questions
Which influencer platforms changed their pricing pages after 27 October 2026?
None of the 18 readable competitor pages changed a tracked field between 27 October and 4 November 2026. Influencity and Shopify Collabs moved their pricing page to a new address. KALO IQ changed four fields on its own pricing page: seats, the allowance, unlock and export limits plus API access.
How is each pricing page tracked?
Each page is read on a fetch date and recorded against eleven fixed fields, from the lowest listed price to the trial and card requirement. A field the page does not state is recorded as absent. A change is logged only when the page states something different from the previous fetch.
What happens when a pricing page cannot be read?
It is recorded as it answered. IZEA and Collabstr returned HTTP 403 on both dates and are listed as not fetchable. Aspire, Tagger and Captiv8 return 404 at their pricing address. None of these pages is given an estimated figure.
Sources and limits
Every field comes from the platform's own pricing page as read on its fetch date. The 27 October 2026 snapshot is the one recorded for the hidden cost report. The 4 November 2026 snapshot was read with the same eleven fields. Club's pricing page, which the fetch tool reduced to its navigation on both dates, was read from its static HTML the same day. This page links to no competitor and reproduces no third-party page.
