HypeAuditor pricing 2026: plans, API credits and real costs

November 9, 2026

Short answer

HypeAuditor pricing is not published on its pricing page, which today shows only a demo form and free media plans. HypeAuditor's own blog says the Basic plan starts at $299 a month billed annually, about $3,588 a year, with discounts for yearly and two-year contracts. The API is a separate paid service with its own credits, priced through sales.

HypeAuditor does not put prices on its pricing page. On 9 November 2026 the pricing page showed a demo request form, a "Talk to sales" link and a free tier described as "free media plans, campaign management, and demo versions of other features". The only dollar figure HypeAuditor publishes is on its own blog. Here is everything the vendor states, what it means in dollars, and how to judge a quote.

HypeAuditor pricing: what the vendor publishes

Item	What HypeAuditor says
Entry price	Basic "starts at $299/month when billed annually" (HypeAuditor blog, updated 16 September 2026)
Yearly minimum at that price	$299 x 12 = $3,588 (our math)
Contract terms	Annual contracts get discounts; the best rates are on two-year agreements
How plans differ	Every plan has all modules (Discovery, Account Analytics, CRM, Campaign Management) with different usage limits
Higher tiers	PRO, Enterprise and custom plans. No prices published
Free option	Free media plans, campaign management and demo versions; 40+ free tools
Free trial	By request, case by case
API	Separate paid service, own credits, contact sales

Review sites list other figures for Pro and Starter tiers. We left them out because HypeAuditor's own pages do not confirm them. Ask sales for a written quote.

HypeAuditor plans: Basic vs PRO vs Enterprise

From the same cost article, here is what each level includes:

Feature	Basic (from $299 a month, yearly)	PRO, Enterprise or custom
Discovery filters	Limited	Full, with AI Search, the Account Quality Score filter and advanced audience filters
Recruitment	Not included: no lookalike search, no landing pages, no finding influencers among your customers	Included
Outreach and influencer CRM	Included, with limits on records and exports	Higher limits
Contact data	Up to about 1,000 emails a month	Higher limits, not published
Reports, media plans, campaign tracking	Standard performance reports, several media plans	Included
Competitor Monitoring, Market Analysis	Not included	PRO and Enterprise only

The practical point: the Account Quality Score filter, which is the main reason many teams pick HypeAuditor, is not in Basic search. If fraud screening at the search step matters to you, price PRO from the start.

HypeAuditor API pricing

The API is sold apart from the app. HypeAuditor's help center calls it "a separate paid service" and sends you to sales@hypeauditor.com. The API page says it uses "a credit-based system separate from your subscription plan" and that each operation has a set credit cost, without listing a dollar price per credit. The credit rules it does publish are useful for estimating volume:

Rule	Detail	Source
Advanced report	1 report credit	report docs
Mini report	1 mini report credit	report docs
Re-opening a report	Free for 365 days; a check after that costs 1 credit again	report docs
Failed generation	The credit is returned	report docs
Same call twice	Charged once per generated report	help center
Private account	Not charged	help center
Rate limit	100 requests a minute on the report endpoint	report docs
Balance	`restTokens` in each response; a plan info endpoint shows report credits and discovery requests left	plan info docs

Coverage per the API page: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, X and Snapchat for reports; Discovery covers the same minus Snapchat; Market Analysis is Instagram only. Reports refresh about weekly, and follower growth updates daily on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Test keys run sandbox requests and sample reports without spending credits.

HypeAuditor free trial and free plan

Free trial: HypeAuditor's trial article says trials are granted by request, case by case, so the team can set up what you want to test. There is no fixed length or limit published.
Free tier: free media plans, campaign management and demo versions of other features, from the pricing page.
Free tools: more than 40, including an engagement rate checker, a fake followers check and an account auditor.
API: a test key through the demo form after sales reviews your use case.

HypeAuditor cost per report: how to check a quote

Because one report credit covers one creator for a year, the number of credits you need is the number of unique creators you check each year. Divide your quote by that number to get your cost per report. To decide if the quote is good, compare it with what the raw public data costs if you score creators yourself.

A do-it-yourself vetting bundle on TikTok: profile (1 credit), one page of recent videos (1), comments on 3 videos (3) and audience demographics (26) is 31 credits. On ScrapeIO's $47 pack that is about $0.058 per creator, or $58.28 per 1,000 creators.

Volume	HypeAuditor report credits a year	Your cost per report	Raw data for the same creators on ScrapeIO
100 new creators a month	1,200	Quote / 1,200	37,200 credits: two $47 packs, $94
1,000 new creators a month	12,000	Quote / 12,000	372,000 credits: one $497 pack
10,000 creators, one audit	10,000	Quote / 10,000	310,000 credits: one $497 pack

Instagram vetting without audience data is cheaper still: profile, a page of posts and comments on 3 posts is 5 credits, or $9.40 per 1,000 creators. The comparison is not like for like. HypeAuditor's report includes its Audience Quality Score and fraud model, and the data cost above leaves the scoring to you. The table tells you how much you pay for that score.

For the app, the only published floor is $3,588 a year. If you use all of Basic's roughly 1,000 emails a month, that is about $0.30 per email ($299 / 1,000).

Who each option fits

You are	Best fit
A brand that recruits creators all year and wants CRM and campaign tracking	HypeAuditor Basic, if limited filters are fine
An agency that shows fraud and audience-quality scores to clients	HypeAuditor PRO or Enterprise
A team tracking competitors' creator programs	PRO or Enterprise (Competitor Monitoring)
A product that embeds creator scores	HypeAuditor API, after a quote
A developer or agent that needs live public data, in bursts, with no contract	A pay-per-call API

Is HypeAuditor worth it?

HypeAuditor is worth it when you want a vetting score you did not have to build. Its API page cites a database of 227.2M+ creators, 35+ vetting metrics, an Audience Quality Score from 1 to 100, and fraud models that it says catch 95.5% of known fraud. If you vet hundreds of creators a month across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and need to defend each pick to a client, that is hard to match with raw data. The credit rules are also fair: failed, private and repeat reports cost nothing.

It is not worth it if your volume is low or irregular, since the floor is a yearly contract. It is also a poor fit when you need data the reports do not hold, such as comments in bulk, transcripts or platforms like LinkedIn, Reddit or Facebook. And you cannot start today: prices, trials and API keys all go through sales.
