The Walled Garden vs. The Open Social Wilderness

Stop Searching in a Sandbox & Search the Entire Internet

When you look for creators on Impact.com, you’re limited to their opt-in marketplace, a walled garden of about 90,000 publishers who bothered to sign up and fill out an application. Influencity doesn't do walled gardens and we index over 350 million public creator profiles in real-time across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch.

Is Impact.com the same as an influencer marketing platform?

Not really. Impact.com started as a partnership management platform built around affiliate marketing, referrals, and publisher partnerships. While it has expanded into creator marketing, its foundations remain rooted in attribution and performance tracking. Influencity, on the other hand, was purpose-built for influencer marketing, from discovering creators to managing relationships, campaigns, reporting, and payments.

Can I work with creators who aren't already on the platform?

With Influencity, yes. We index more than 350 million public creator profiles across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch, so creators don't need to register before you can discover and evaluate them.

Impact.com primarily relies on its opt-in marketplace, meaning you're generally limited to creators who have already joined its network.

Which platform is better for managing long-term creator relationships?

If you're building an ambassador program or investing in long-term creator partnerships, Influencity is designed around relationship management, not just transactions. Our Influencer Relationship Management (IRM) system helps you organize creators, track conversations, manage campaigns, and build lasting partnerships instead of treating every collaboration like a one-off affiliate deal.

Do I need engineering resources to get started?

Influencity is designed for marketers, not developers. Most teams can start discovering creators and launching campaigns immediately without complex technical implementations.
Platforms focused on affiliate infrastructure often require additional setup for tracking, integrations, and attribution before teams can unlock their full functionality.

Who should choose Influencity over Impact.com?

Influencity is the better fit if your strategy revolves around discovering creators, building authentic relationships, running influencer campaigns, and scaling creator programs globally.

If your primary focus is managing affiliate publishers, coupon partners, cashback sites, and commission-based partnerships, Impact.com may be appropriate.
