Aspire.io vs. GroupHigh

I used Aspire to find influencers for my fashion business and most of the influencers who signed up for my project were unreliable and did not fulfill their contract terms. For example, of 5 influencers I sent products to, only one completed the work that was agreed upon under the Terms. The others received a $195 product and disappeared, even though we signed a contract called Terms that is monitored by Aspire. The main downfall with Aspire is that it doesn't have a system in place to control this. For instance, they don't have a way for brands to leave a review for influencers and they don't block bad influencers (many just want free product) from applying for future projects. Aspire doesn't take responsibility for anything. What is the point of paying money to Aspire if they don't vet their influencers and control the quality of influencers who use their platform?

I'd say GroupHigh is well-suited for anyone who is looking for a mass amount of influencers with ranging topics. It's very helpful in finding an abundant amount of influencers with very specific topics. If you're looking for something with very accurate numbers, this probably isn't the best bet as I have found many discrepancies

• In my opinion, Bad Customer Service
• I think they Don't Care if you succeed on their platform
• In my opinion, their influencers seem fake

• My biggest problem with GroupHigh is that most times, their numbers are way off for the influencers. Sometimes, it tells me that an influencer has only 200 unique monthly visitors when they really have tens of thousands.
• I'd love if they had email addresses for all influencers.
• The UI can be a bit tricky to navigate at times.

We've done countless trainings with them and have done every step as outlined. In my experience, the site does not perform at all and there are no results that ever come. I think Aspire.io seems to have no ideas on how to get a response from their influencers and to get them to do what they are suppose to do.

I have bi-weekly calls with my AspireIQ rep which has been very helpful. Anytime I have a question, notice a bug, etc, she is quick to respond.

We used to use TapInfluence but we found the selection of influencers to choose from to be limited - we could not manage conversations in the platform

While Tracx can be useful in finding influencers based off of certain keywords, I find that GroupHigh is more reliable in providing an abundant amount of options for me to choose from. The UI for Tracx is also a bit trickier than GroupHigh so if I had to choose, I'd go with GroupHigh over it

• Making our brand more fun!
• While our account is "small" we believe investing in influencers has broadened our brand and gotten in front of people we didn't have the capability of

Incentivized

• It's helped us source influencers so I'd say it helps us with KPI (key points of interest)
