USE CASE:
Finding influencers worth partnering with
This page is about finding influencers worth partnering with: what your options are for sponsorship scouting, what each costs, and the one we would use. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Creator Finder is ours for sponsorship scouting.

The problem
Every brand that runs creator campaigns hits the same wall. The platforms are built for watching rather than searching. Finding fifty creators in one niche at the right size means hours of scrolling and a spreadsheet. The list then skews toward whoever the algorithm showed you that week. The creators who would actually suit the product are often the ones nobody has found yet.
Traditional Search Tools
- Modash. A large searchable creator database across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with audience filters. Strong discovery, sold on a monthly subscription that suits a team running campaigns every month.
- TikTok One and the other platform marketplaces. Official, free to browse, and limited to creators who opted in. The ones who did not sign up are invisible there.
- An influencer agency. They bring a roster and the relationships, and charge a retainer or a share of the fee. Worth it for a launch, expensive as a standing way to find people.
- Search the platforms yourself. Type the niche into TikTok, Instagram and YouTube search, open every profile that looks right, and copy the handle and follower count into a sheet. About three minutes a creator, and the results depend on what each app decides to show you.
