Automate Every Stage of Your Marketplace
From milestone escrow holding to automated post health monitoring, Influenzic handles safety, compliance, and creator verification automatically.
Social Identity Verification
Verify creator account ownership without API headaches. Creators place a unique verification token in their social bio to prove ownership instantly, with automated minimum follower threshold checks.
Deliverable-Based Rate Cards
Creators set transparent pricing per deliverable format (Instagram Reels, TikTok Videos, YouTube Dedicated vs. Shoutouts). Rates display on public profiles and auto-populate campaign offers.
Campaign Briefs & Mood Boards
Brands launch structured campaign briefs with multi-slot deliverable requirements (e.g. 1× Reel + 2× Stories), reference mood-board image uploads, target niches, and scheduled post release dates.
Two-Stage Draft Media Proofing
Creators upload draft videos and image assets for private brand review and revision rounds before anything goes live on social media, backed by a 72-hour auto-approval protection timer.
Milestone Escrow & Multi-Checkout
Pre-funded brand wallets lock payments securely in escrow. Brands can batch-accept applicants or invite dozens of creators from discovery and fund the entire campaign in one cart checkout.
Post URL Monitor & Retention Audit
Automated daily background crons ping live Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube URLs. The system audits retention for 30, 60, or 90 days and alerts brands immediately if a sponsored post is removed early.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Upfluence vs. Influenzic: Key Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about self-hosting, SaaS pricing, custom domains, and platform architecture.
No. Upfluence is a closed cloud SaaS application hosted exclusively on app.upfluence.com. You cannot run it on your own custom domain, you cannot white-label it as an independent platform, and you do not own the underlying software or database. Influenzic runs 100% on your own domain and WordPress hosting.
Upfluence is an enterprise search database and email CRM designed for internal brand marketing teams to look up public creators and send cold outreach emails. Influenzic is a full two-sided marketplace engine where multiple brands and creators register, publish multi-tier rate cards, transact via milestone escrow, proof draft content, and get paid automatically.
Upfluence’s $1,500+/month pricing covers enterprise sales teams, scraped social profile databases, and dedicated customer success reps. Influenzic provides the core self-hosted marketplace software engine for a single one-time purchase with 12 months of updates and support included, eliminating recurring monthly overhead.
With Upfluence, all your creator relationships, campaign history, and client data live on Upfluence’s cloud servers—if you cancel your contract, your access is revoked. With Influenzic, 100% of your data lives on your own WordPress and MySQL database server under your complete control.
No. Enterprise SaaS platforms charge steep upcharges when you exceed active creator or user seat thresholds. Influenzic places zero artificial limits on the number of brands, creators, team members, or campaigns you can manage.
Influenzic gives you lifetime software ownership on your own server. Your purchase includes 12 months of software updates and technical support, with optional annual renewal to stay up to date. Unlike SaaS platforms, your platform and data remain 100% yours forever even if you choose not to renew.
Stop paying $18,000+/year to enterprise SaaS vendors. Launch your own white-label influencer engine today.
