One of its most useful features is that it lets you create your own filters. This way, you can save a specific look and apply the same edits to your other images for better brand consistency.
11. Takumi
If Instagram is your preferred channel and you have a following of at least 1,000 real followers, be sure to check out Takumi. They’ve worked with some of the world’s top brands that include the likes of Samsung, L’Oreal, Nike, and Visa. This is made possible by their robust vetting process. Though, they still respect creative talent and keep campaign briefs broad enough to allow influencers to express their own authentic style.
If you’ve read our review of Takumi, you’ll remember that we wrote very highly of this influencer marketplace. If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet, here’s a quick recap: they’re more like a boutique ad agency than a tech solution. So, if that sounds like what you had in mind, it can be a valuable avenue to find new collaborations.

Once you publish an approved post you automatically receive payment via the app.
An influencer can manage everything in the app, with no need for a desktop or emails.
13. TribeFluence
Not to be confused with TRIBE - Influencer, TribeFluence is another app that offers brands and influencers the chance to connect. Whether you prefer to interact on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube, TribeFluence will help to match you with the ideal brand. Unlike other apps where you need to submit a proposal, TribeFluence will reach out to you if they think they’ve found a campaign for which you’ll be a good fit.
One of its main advantages is that it’s also suitable for micro-influencers searching for a way to monetize their content. Plus, influencers can use the app free of charge as brands will be charged per campaign, making it a good option if you’re new to influencer marketing.
14. Videoshop - Video Editor
