Creatorly
Your influencer affiliate tracking software is three spreadsheets pretending to be one system.
One creator record holds their brief, their content draft, their commission total, and their payout status. No spreadsheet required.

Most e-commerce brands running creator programs spend their first year making spreadsheets work. The influencer affiliate tracking software category has two options: a free-tier affiliate network that knows nothing about your content, and a $2,000/month enterprise platform built for a brand spending ten times your budget. So you stitch together what you have. Impact.com handles clicks and commissions. A Google Sheet tracks content briefs and approval status. Your inbox holds creator conversations. Your affiliate platform holds payouts. These four systems share no data.
Every month, someone on your team spends 8–12 hours pulling those four systems into one reconciliation document. They check whether the creator who posted also has an active tracking link. They cross-reference the commission earned in Impact against the approval status in the sheet. They flag the creators who posted unapproved content. They produce a payout list that finance needs in a format none of these tools export directly. Then they do it again next month.
The influencer affiliate program management gap at the $10K/month level is structural. The category split content management from commission tracking from payment, and nobody built the tool that treats a creator program as one thing.
Creatorly builds all three pieces as one workflow. A creator joins your program, receives their brief, submits content for approval, earns commissions on attributed sales, and gets paid. Every step of that process lives in the same record.
The Reconciliation Problem That Affiliate Platforms Were Never Built to Solve
Every major affiliate network assumes your affiliates are websites, coupon aggregators, or review blogs. They track clicks and commissions. They know nothing about whether a creator submitted their post draft for approval, whether you gifted them $200 in product last quarter, or whether their flat fee and affiliate commission should be combined into a single payout.
Every major influencer platform assumes your creators are not earning commissions. They track reach and engagement. They manage content briefs and gifting. They do not connect to affiliate attribution in any meaningful way — and when they do, it is via a third-party integration that requires a separate login and exports to a CSV.
You are running a program where every creator is both a content partner and a commission earner. The tools that exist were built before that model was common. You pay for that mismatch every month in reconciliation hours.
Introducing Creatorly
The brief, the content approval, the UTM link, the commission total, and the payout check all point at the same creator record in Creatorly — because they are all part of the same program relationship. It replaces the five-tab monthly reconciliation with one dashboard that updates as creators post and earn. Built for DTC and e-commerce brands running creator programs between 20 and 200 active influencers.
What You Get — Starting at $149/month
Creator portal with brief and content submission — Each creator logs into a private portal where they receive their campaign brief, submit draft content for your approval, and view their own commission earnings and payment history in real time.
Content approval workflow with compensation context — When you review a draft post, you see the creator's commission rate, their gifting record, and their previous content submissions in the same panel. Approvals happen with full program context, not in isolation.
First-party UTM attribution that lives inside your creator records — Creatorly generates unique tracking links for each creator at the campaign level. Commission attribution flows from clicks to payout records inside Creatorly, with no dependency on a third-party affiliate network.
Mixed-compensation commission calculator (flat fees, gifting, and affiliate rates in one payout) — Flat fees, gifting values, and percentage-based affiliate commissions are tracked separately and summed per creator per payout period. Mixed compensation structures are native to the system.
Influencer affiliate program management reporting — Monthly reports show total spend by category (gifting, fees, commissions), revenue attributed per creator, and margin contribution per campaign. Exportable for finance team reviews.
Payout processing for all active creators in a single approval cycle — Process payments to all creators in a payout cycle from one screen. Export to Stripe, PayPal, or your payroll system. No manual payout list required.
Creator roster with full program history — Every creator's record holds past campaigns, submitted content, commissions earned, and products gifted. When you are deciding who to include in next quarter's program, the data is there.
Campaign performance dashboard — Revenue attributed per creator, per campaign, and per product — pulled from the same commission records that drive payout, so your performance numbers and your finance numbers always match.
Why $149–$299/month
The brands Creatorly is built for spend $5,000–$20,000/month on their creator programs. At $299/month, Creatorly is less than 3% of that program budget. The reconciliation work it replaces commonly runs 8–12 hours per month. At a mid-market marketing salary, that is $400–$700 in labor cost on top of the tool subscriptions you are already paying. Creatorly is month-to-month. There is no annual contract and no setup fee.
Who This Is For
You manage a creator program with 20–200 micro-influencers and your monthly program spend is between $5,000 and $20,000.
You use a spreadsheet to track content briefs and approvals because your affiliate platform has no concept of a content workflow.
You pay creators a mix of flat fees, gifting, and commission — and combining those into a single payout takes manual work every month.
You have looked at Grin or Aspire and found the price or contract terms out of reach for your current program size.
You want to scale your creator roster without scaling the hours you spend managing it.
If your program is still under 20 creators and a spreadsheet handles it comfortably, Creatorly is a better fit once your roster grows. If you are spending $50K+/month and need deep API integrations with enterprise ERP systems, AspireIQ is built for that scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track influencer commissions and content in one place if I already use Impact.com?
Creatorly generates its own UTM tracking links and attribution, so you do not need Impact.com to run your commission tracking. Most brands migrate their creator program off their affiliate network when they start Creatorly, since the attribution and payout features overlap. If you have an existing affiliate network contract, Creatorly can run in parallel during your transition period.
Creatorly vs Grin: what is the difference?
Grin is built for brands with $50K+/month creator budgets and charges accordingly. It handles content and relationships well but treats affiliate commission tracking as an add-on integration rather than a core workflow. Creatorly is built specifically for the brand where influencers are also commission earners — content approval and commission tracking share the same record from the start, and pricing reflects a mid-market program budget.
How much does Creatorly cost and what does setup involve?
Creatorly starts at $149/month for up to 50 active creators and $299/month for up to 200. Setup takes one session: you import your creator list, build your first campaign brief, and generate tracking links. Most brands have their first creator portal live within two hours of signing up. There is no annual contract.
What if my creators earn both flat fees and affiliate commissions in the same campaign?
Mixed compensation is native to Creatorly. When you set up a creator in a campaign, you assign a flat fee, a gifting value, a commission rate, or any combination of the three. The commission calculator tracks them separately and sums them at payout time. You see one total per creator per payout period, broken down by compensation type.
What it is: The influencer affiliate tracking software built for the brand where creators earn both content credit and sales commission.
What you get: Creator portal, content approval workflow, first-party UTM attribution, mixed-compensation commission tracking, batch payouts, and program performance reporting.
Price: $149/month (up to 50 creators) or $299/month (up to 200 creators). Month-to-month.
Catch: Creatorly generates its own attribution tracking. If you need to preserve an existing affiliate network's attribution history, plan for a migration period.
Guarantee: Full refund within 30 days if your content approval and payout workflow is not consolidated into one dashboard.
