Recommended tools and plans
Plan recurring research and tracking for one operator before counting any launch bonus.
For one researcher building small campaign lists
Creator Lookup
Tier 1 offers 100 recurring monthly credits. It suits selective creator research when one person can prioritize profiles and leave enough capacity for tracking, rather than collecting a large list without a campaign brief.
Keep in mind: Tracking spends from the same practical budget. This is not a multi-seat licence; buying a larger tier does not establish extra user access.

Creator Lookup
Tier 2 is the first MCP option, with 300 monthly credits. Choose it when a compatible assistant will use the connection as part of a defined research process, and size the ongoing work using the recurring allowance.
Keep in mind: The 1,500-credit launch bonus is one-time. Do not use it to justify a monthly tracking schedule that the recurring balance cannot sustain.

Set the audience, location, subject matter and type of collaboration first. Then decide which profile details would make a creator worth contacting. This prevents spending research capacity on a long list that looks impressive but does not fit the brief. Check the current content and audience context rather than using follower count as the whole decision.
Keep discovery and ongoing monitoring apart
A campaign has an initial research phase and, if it launches, a continuing tracking phase. Budget both separately: the same recurring allowance may need to support fresh prospects and existing partnerships. One-time bonus credits can help with setup, but they do not establish how many campaigns you can maintain every ordinary month.
Choose for the researcher, not just the brand count
Identify who will use the product and whether work must pass through an assistant connection. An agency with one researcher has a different access requirement from several colleagues working at once. Check seats, eligibility and the needed automation feature before choosing a larger credit tier; more credits alone do not grant shared access.
Feature comparison
Use the same checklist for each tool. Plan limits, paid extras and features that need confirmation are shown separately.
Features are grouped by documented coverage. “Not confirmed” means the evidence is incomplete, not that a feature is absent.
Check each product’s plan notes for tier limits and additional costs. Feature coverage is not a quality rating.
Buying questions
Do launch bonus credits renew every month?
They are listed separately as launch bonuses. Use only the 100, 300 or 800 recurring monthly credits when sizing an ongoing workload.
Which tier includes MCP?
Tier 2 and Tier 3. Tier 1 is the lower-cost option for a manual interface workflow.
Can an agency add users by buying Tier 3?
No additional seats were listed. All three tiers specify a single user.
