Grin

Pros: I like that the app was working smoothly and all the data was stored in the same place. Easy to track the activity of each influencer that we work with

Cons: At some point Grin excluded Instagram and it was difficult to search for new influencers.

Pros: One of Grin's standout features is its seamless integration with Shopify, which significantly simplifies the process for influencers to place orders. This linkage between Grin and our Shopify ecommerce platform has not only enhanced convenience but has also boosted the efficiency of our influencer collaborations.Moreover, Grin excels in delivering high-performing campaigns with top-notch content, which has been instrumental in achieving our marketing goals.

Cons: The user interface can be quite unfriendly, making navigation a bit of a puzzle at times. For those not deeply familiar with the platform, there's a learning curve to overcome.Setting up affiliate links and codes, a crucial aspect for many campaigns, isn't as seamless as one might hope. Grin could do with some enhancements in this area to make the process more intuitive and complete.The tracking of payments for each influencer can also be a bit confusing. Clarity and simplicity are key when dealing with finances, and this aspect could benefit from a more streamlined approach.

Pros: It's consumer friendly no annoying content

Cons: One need to pay careful attention to detail,or else you might not understand it

Pros: Influencer Outreach, Campaign Management, Product Shipment, Data & Analytics + Influencer Payment.

Cons: More email trigger options to consistently follow up with influencers throughout the campaign process! i.e. send emails once the package has been delivered as a reminder of content being due within 7-10 days.

Pros: I love the do it all ability to have everything I could possibly want in one platform. My goal for my program is to always ensure a seamless process for my creators and GRIN does just that. Allowing me to dedicate optimal time to building relationships with my creators.

Cons: The only thing I wish GRIN had was a more mobile friendly option. I'm sure they'll be working on it soon! Being on a flexible schedule it would be great to have the option to view my campaigns from anywhere on my phone.

Pros: I love the ease of campaign and activation management. Payments through GRIN! The customer service is impeccable. Email sequences and templates. Data, analytics and reporting features are amazing!

Cons: The search feature for influencers is no longer available. Inputting creators into the platform takes longer than it used to.

Pros: Influencer marketing is so manual. Grin helps take the lift off of you and allows you to automate

Cons: A bit expensive for the capabilities. I wish I could see more of influencer's stats through the platform

Pros: The ease of use and copious amounts of features.

Cons: I have no complaints about Grin so far. I will definitely keep you updated as I continue my use on aspects I think could be improved!

Pros: I love how this platform makes it easy to work directly with influencers. Everything from communication to payment is super seamless, which helps eliminate the need for overpriced agency "specialists."

Cons: It's pretty complicated to figure out, but once you get it, you're good!

Pros: Everything is under one roof! Organization, tracking and reporting.

Cons: There are some glitches, but GRIN's CS team is super responsive and quick to help with any issues.

Pros: Grin has lots of great features: search, analytics, engagement metrics, different social media integrations...wish they would pair up with HOLLYFY

Cons: It didn't have other forms of entertainment, only had influencers.

Pros: Creator search is great, easy to sort / filter the audience of the creator you want.

Cons: at times pulling the creator report is a challenge, despite altering talent handle being modified

Pros: GRIN allows us to scale our evergreen influencer programs quickly and efficiently, from onboarding to regular communications.

Cons: The UX can be overwhelming and we do not use all of the features.

Pros: GRIN is a very user-friendly platform that helps organize and manage all things influencer marketing and content. They are also very down-to-earth, always eager to help, and truly want to see all their brands succeed! I have been blown away by the exceptional customer service offered.

Cons: So many features can feel quite overwhelming/makes you take more time than needed to try a new feature if not educated before hand

Pros: I love how easy it is for me to view my creators, organize them by tags, and to be able to easily import new creators with their social media chrome extension. Additionally, being able to pay my creators through GRIN makes it very easy to make payments on time. I love that GRIN is continuously updating the services they offer.

Cons: I'm not really a fan of using their creator search. Although some creators will have great stats, when it comes to performance, they don't perform that well.

Pros: So many great features and everything you need to plan, organize, and execute successful influencer campaigns. Many different ways to communicate and engage with influencers.

Cons: Small bugs and updates occasionally. But after each maintenance fix, Grin comes out working flawlessly.

Pros: GRIN is the gold standard of influencer marketing software. They are the front runners in innovation as well as amazing support both from an engineering side and customer success side. GRIN takes so much of the mess of influencer marketing and cleans it up into one beautiful and effortless software.

Cons: The ONLY drawback to GRIN is that there are specific plug ins that you have to upgrade to add on (this is so normal with any software though).

Pros: Organizing campaigns is done relatively easy.

Cons: The creator search tool was horrible, we couldn't find any creators that aligned with our brand. This was the main reason we signed up for this software and now we're stuck in a contract for the rest of the year with useless software that has a horrible ROI. -Grin was also glitchy at times especially when sinking to Shopify -It takes at least one week to get a help from support staff. When you look at the setup and times when we had issues we waited several weeks just to get issues fixed.

Pros: The search, email and analytics capabilities are unmatched.

Cons: Would like to be able to edit each contract uniquely to each influencer within a campaign.

Pros: CRM. Influencer scouting. Our account rep is amazing

Cons: Sometimes Grin glitches but it's pretty rare.

Pros: For all steps of a usual influencer campaign, GRIN makes it all easier and time saving. To find influencers that fit your criteria perfectly. To sending out emails to a mass number of influencers at once. To organising unique discount codes with ease and to monitoring their content and sales is all so easy and efficient.

Cons: It is quite expensive compared to other influencer marketing software out there but it does have more features.

Pros: The platform takes a little bit to get comfortable with and onboarded to, but after that the capabilities are amazing. They have some really cool search tools that have helped our strategy tremendously. I also love that they can integrate with Shopify for influencer orders.

Cons: I feel that the user interface for messaging influencers on our side of things could be a little bit more user friendly. Instead of an email setup, I would love to see chat bubbles.
