Creator ScoutCOMPARE
Last updated
Creator Scout is India-first deal infrastructure; Modash is a global influencer database priced in USD. Creator Scout runs the full deal — discovery, contracts, escrow, delivery, GST invoices, TDS (0.1% under §194-O), and payouts — on one rupee-priced dashboard. Modash gives you audience data and a CSV export; contracts, payments, and Indian tax paperwork remain with your team. If you want to book and pay Indian creators without switching tools, browse the marketplace, free to search.
WHY BRANDS SWITCH
DISCOVERY
Every Creator Scout profile lists the actual price the creator will accept. Modash shows audience-based cost estimates - a planning number, not a quote you can book from. You still have to find the creator and ask what they really charge.
DATA
Our audience data comes from Instagram's Graph API with the creator's consent - the actual number from Instagram itself. Modash pulls audience estimates from scraped public pages; coverage is whatever is publicly visible.
GEOGRAPHY
TDS filed under 194-O, GST-compliant invoices per deal, INR pricing, Indian creators vetted for brand relevance. Modash is global by design - fine if you campaign worldwide, costly if you're running India-only deals.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Creator Scout runs the deal end to end - contract, escrow, delivery, payout, invoice, report. Modash hands you a list and an export; the rest lives in your email, your bank app, and your accountant's folder.
HOW YOU PAY
One subscription is priced for Indian brands. The other is priced in USD because global SaaS defaults there.

FEATURES
Nine things we treat as table-stakes - and ship in the self-serve dashboard.
FIT CHECK
A list of profiles is step one. Contract, escrow, delivery, and payout are the other six. Those belong on one dashboard too.
Scraped audience stats are a guess at best. Graph API data is the actual number, pulled from Instagram with the creator's consent.
0.1% TDS filed under 194-O, GST-compliant invoices on every deal, INR payouts to Indian bank accounts. Not a feature you have to bolt on later.
Live spend, deliverables, engagement, and ROI per campaign - in one dashboard. The same measurement discipline you expect from Ads Manager, not a CSV dump.
AFTER THEY SWITCHED
Yes. Nothing stops you running both. Teams that mostly run India campaigns usually realise after a cycle that the Modash subscription is covering a geography they don't actually book - and drop it at renewal.
Scraped data reads only what's publicly visible on a profile page - follower count, like counts, basic post metadata. Graph API data (with creator consent) returns the creator's actual audience breakdown: real reach, saves, shares, location + age + gender of the people who actually see their work.
Yes. We're free to sign up and free to search. You can run deals here while your Modash subscription expires in the background. No one locks you in on this side.
Yes. TDS at 0.1% deducted and filed under Section 194-O. GST-compliant invoices per deal (both sides). Form 26Q filed quarterly. Form 16A available in your dashboard per creator per quarter.
