Modash review

Modash is a hosted SaaS platform for running influencer-marketing programs, not a library, CLI or self-hosted server. It combines a creator database and campaign CRM with content tracking, payments and Shopify workflows. A brand team can use it to discover creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, organize contacts and campaign history, manage conversations, and track content and performance.

In a software stack, the main product sits alongside a store platform and email provider: Modash says it syncs two ways with Shopify and connects Gmail or Outlook. Its separate API offering is for developers who want creator data in their own applications. The site describes Discovery API, Raw API and AI Search, including programmatic creator discovery and live social-account data. The API is a distinct integration surface from the campaign-management app; the vendor does not publish API pricing on the product pricing information available here. Treat them as separate buying decisions and confirm the API’s terms and limits before designing around it.

Modash describes three developer surfaces: Discovery API for finding creators and analyzing audiences, Raw API for live, unfiltered social-account data including comments and tags, and AI Search for building AI-powered influencer tools and workflows. The site also presents the API for research, marketing agencies, e-commerce and AI tools. Its documentation is described as comprehensive and interactive, with an API overview and separate Discovery API materials.

The vendor does not name programming languages, SDKs, a CLI, REST conventions or webhook support in its product copy. Before implementation, check the API docs for supported authentication, request and response formats, pagination, error handling, SDK availability and language support. The campaign app has named integrations with Shopify, Gmail and Outlook; Shopify sync covers discount codes, gifts, orders and revenue. Those app integrations should not be mistaken for API capabilities. Confirm whether your workflow needs the API, the hosted campaign product, or both, and whether API access has separate commercial terms.

Modash has no free plan, but the hosted app offers a 14-day trial with no credit card required. Essentials is listed at $199 per month and is aimed at campaigns with up to 100 creators. It includes two team members, 300 opened profiles and 150 unlocked creator emails per month, plus tracking for 100 creators’ content. Performance costs $499 per month and includes five team members, 800 opened profiles, 400 unlocked creator emails and tracking for 250 creators’ content.

Performance includes 0% payments and affiliate fees up to a combined $10,000 per year; the listed fee after that limit is 5%. Enterprise starts at $14,700 billed yearly, or $1,225 per month on an annual basis, with custom limits and payout tiers. The stated Enterprise fee is 5% above its payout-tier limits, which are not published. Extra seat prices are also not published. These are campaign-platform prices, not API rates: confirm API pricing and request limits separately before budgeting a developer integration.

Modash is presented as a hosted service. The vendor does not publish an open-source licence or self-hosting option, so teams should plan for the campaign product and its creator-data API to run under Modash’s service rather than in their own infrastructure.

That creates potential lock-in around creator records, campaign history, email context, tracking and Shopify-linked reporting. The vendor’s product copy does not establish what data can be exported or in which formats. Before moving operational records into the CRM, ask about bulk export, API access to your own data, retention after cancellation and whether campaign content or analytics are exportable. A migration plan should also account for rebuilding discount-code, gifting, affiliate and payment workflows in another system. Keep any required source-of-truth records in your own stack until export scope and exit procedures are clear.

The app’s plan limits matter when teams scale: Essentials caps monthly profile opens, unlocked creator emails and tracked content; Performance raises those caps and adds more seats. The product page describes automatic content collection and Shopify reporting, but developers should validate coverage and failure handling for their own creator mix before depending on those workflows. The vendor does not publish API rate limits in its product copy, so ask for quotas, retry guidance, availability commitments and support escalation terms.

Reddit feedback is mixed. One thread reports disappointment with creator data quality in EU markets, while commenters debate how complete or accurate influencer databases can be. A Shopify user said the product’s pricing became harder to manage while scaling affiliate and gifting work. These are individual reports, not service-level measurements, but they point to practical checks: test target countries, creator categories and campaign sizes; confirm data refresh behavior; and understand payout fees and over-limit handling. Ask about security, compliance and data retention before syncing customer or creator information.
