Spikerz sounds like the name of a growth hack app—something that juices your reach, spikes your charts, gets you “on the For You Page.”
In reality, it’s built for the moment after you’ve already won: when your account, audience, and back catalog are valuable enough that losing them would feel like losing a company.
Most creator tools start with content: scheduling, analytics, UGC briefing. Spikerz started with a different assumption—that social media is now an attack surface. The Tel Aviv-based startup was built as a social media security platform from day one, focusing on account takeovers, impersonators, phishing, and comment abuse across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Today, protects 5,000+ brands and creators, with more than 1.3M toxic comments deleted, 143K impersonators removed, and 57K hacks blocked. That’s not the kind of progress you show in a social media case study; it’s the kind you measure in crises that didn’t happen.
For creators, that matters. Large-scale phishing operations have already targeted hundreds of thousands of YouTubers with fake brand deals and malware-laced “contracts.” Platforms offer basics like 2FA, but Spikerz’s founders frame it bluntly: if your channel is an asset, securing it is your responsibility—just like paying for alarms and cameras for a physical store.
Spikerz’s story isn’t “we help you grow faster.” It’s “we make sure the growth you already earned doesn’t disappear overnight.”

Pricing
Spikerz doesn’t have a classic “Starter / Pro / Enterprise” grid; they push every prospect toward “Book a demo,” and plans are custom-built around the size of your presence, risk profile, and required modules (comment moderation, impersonator takedown, hacking protection, permissions, phishing).
- No free trial, no free plan. This is a paid security product, not a freemium social app.
- Annual contracts by default. You can upgrade during the year as your needs grow, but the expectation is a year-long relationship, not month-to-month churn.
- Custom pricing by risk & volume. Number of accounts, platforms, comment/DM volume, and feature selection (e.g., impersonator takedown vs. full suite) will all influence price.
For creators, that puts Spikerz closer to “insurance for a key asset” than “another SaaS subscription.” The fit becomes strongest when:
- You’re running significant revenue through your social presence (sponsorships, direct sales, paid communities).
- A hacked or impersonated account could jeopardize sponsorship contracts or product launches.
- You’re working with a team—editors, VAs, agencies—who need controlled access and clear accountability.
If you’re a smaller creator just getting traction, you’ll probably want to ask very specific ROI questions on the demo call: how much manual moderation time will this replace for you, and what’s the downside of one major incident vs. the annual fee?
The Details: What Spikerz Actually Does for Creators
Spikerz’s platform is built around three layers that map neatly to creator reality:
- Account & access protection – stopping hacks and inside risks.
- Community integrity – keeping comment sections, DMs, and feeds usable.
- Identity protection – neutralizing impersonators and fake engagement.
The experience is mostly the same whether you’re a solo creator or a brand-side social team—what changes is the number of accounts and humans involved.
1. Connecting your accounts: three clicks and an immediate risk scan
Spikerz connects via the official APIs of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. You don’t hand over passwords; instead, you authorize access the same way you would connect a scheduling or analytics tool.
Once connected, the platform runs an initial scan:
- Flags suspicious or outdated page roles and partners still attached to your accounts.
- Surfaces malicious or risky comments and DMs that already exist.
- Identifies impersonating or fake profiles relevant to your name, logo, or brand assets.
Creators can then choose how aggressive the automation should be: start in “flag only” mode and manually confirm removals, or move to automatic hiding/removal once you trust the rules.
2. Account Takeover Protection: when your channel is your livelihood
For most creators, a hacked account isn’t just embarrassing—it can kill ongoing campaigns, unlock ad accounts, expose private messages, and nuke years of audience-building in a day.
Spikerz’s account takeover layer focuses on 3 things:
- Behavior-based login monitoring.
The platform watches location, device fingerprints, and IP patterns on logins. If it sees a login from a country or device that doesn’t match your profile, it can flag or block the attempt. - Automated response.
For truly suspicious behavior, Spikerz can rotate passwords, lock sessions, or trigger additional verification steps—before the attacker takes over content, DMs, or ad accounts. - 2FA-as-a-service.
Instead of tying two-factor authentication to one person's phone, Spikerz can host and secure those tokens in the cloud, making it much easier to scale safe access across a team and much harder for a stolen device to compromise your channels.
This is particularly relevant for creators who:
- Share access with editors, producers, or agencies.
- Travel often and log in from different locations.
- Have high-value ad accounts or brand deals attached to their social profiles.
The value here isn’t “cool tech,” it’s downside protection: if a major launch is running and your account suddenly gets flagged, locked, or hijacked, Spikerz is the difference between “we fixed it overnight” and “we spent a month begging platform support.”
3. Comment Moderation: letting your real community actually show up
Once a channel reaches a certain size, the comments stop being “feedback” and start being noise—bots, scams, hate, and low-effort engagement bait.
Spikerz’s comment moderation is intentionally opinionated: it doesn’t just look for simple keywords, it runs AI models across language, tone, and context to decide what should never reach your audience.
For creators, that translates into a feed that quietly cleans itself up in the background. Phishing attempts, fake giveaways, clone-shop links, and obvious spam never really get a chance to surface. Hate speech and targeted harassment are filtered across more than 25 languages—including emojis and slang, not just tidy dictionary words. And if you have recurring problems that are specific to your niche, you can describe them in plain language—“block anyone trying to sell tickets / crypto / fake merch in my comments”—and Spikerz will learn from real examples on your own account.
In practice, your comments start to feel different. Genuine questions and reactions are easier to spot and respond to, your audience isn’t constantly tripping over scams or abuse, and bots stop getting free reach just by showing up early. If you already work with human moderators, Spikerz doesn’t make them redundant; it simply clears out the obvious junk so they can focus on the edge cases where human judgment actually matters.
4. Phishing & DM Protection: cleaning the inbox before you ever see the trap
If you’ve been creating long enough, you already know the pattern: a DM from “brand-support” asking you to verify your account, a fake collab email with a password-protected ZIP file, a comment pushing you into a “support chat” that turns out to be a phishing funnel. None of this feels new anymore—but it’s still very easy to fall for when you’re tired, rushed, or mid-launch.
Spikerz treats DMs, comments, and even email as the same attack surface. It scans incoming messages and links across your connected platforms, looks for the signals of phishing or social engineering, and quietly filters or quarantines anything that looks dangerous so you only see what passes a higher bar.
Behind the scenes, it’s doing three jobs at once: monitoring DMs and comments around the clock, using sentiment and intent analysis to tell the difference between blunt criticism and targeted harassment or manipulative scams, and cleaning up inboxes that are constantly hit with fake “urgent” platform notices and too-good-to-be-true offers.
For creators whose business model relies on inbound deals—brands, agencies, platforms dropping into your DMs all day—that kind of triage is crucial. When everything looks urgent and promising, it becomes harder to tell opportunity from a trap. Spikerz’s role is to slow that stream down just enough that you’re only spending time on conversations that are real, not on the ones engineered to catch you off guard.
5. Impersonator Takedown: protecting your name, face, and audience
For creators with any level of fame, fake accounts are more than an annoyance—they’re direct revenue leakage and a reputational risk.
Spikerz continuously scans major platforms for profiles that look like they’re pretending to be you or your brand. It uses AI face recognition, similarity models, and contextual signals (bio, URLs, content, behavior) to classify accounts as fans, parodies, or threats.
When it flags a threat, it can:
- Escalate and prepare takedown requests aligned with platform policies.
- Track success rates and time to removal in a dashboard, so your team sees progress.
- Prioritize threats that actively push scams, fake giveaways, or phishing funnels.
For creators selling tickets, courses, or physical products, this closes an important loop: you’re not just directing people to “the link in my bio,” you’re making sure that the account they clicked is actually you.
6. Permissions Management: your whole team without “who has the password?”
As a creator operation matures, one background stressor never quite goes away: people come and go, but accounts remain. Editors, freelance social managers, partner agencies, even ex-interns can quietly keep access long after they’ve stopped working with you, spread across Meta Business, Google accounts, and native apps. Spikerz’s permissions layer is designed to pull all of that out of the shadows and into a single, readable view.
Instead of guessing who’s attached where, you get one dashboard that shows every person and system with access to your social stack. You can see their roles, whether they’re protected with 2FA, and where the obvious weak spots sit—like redundant admins, missing two-factor protection, or personal profiles holding brand-level control. Bringing someone new in becomes a clean process: you grant them what they need without sharing passwords or recovery emails, and when they leave, you can revoke access, rotate credentials, and shut down dormant paths in a few clicks.
For creator-led companies that now function more like small media brands, this ends up looking a lot like “IT governance for social”—just without having to hire an in-house security engineer to get there.
Reporting & Day-to-Day Experience
Spikerz isn’t a creator analytics tool in the classic sense: you’re not coming here for audience demographics, time-of-day graphs, or creative A/B testing.
Instead, its reporting focuses on:
- Threats detected and blocked (by type: phishing, impersonation, hacks, toxic comments).
- Volume of comments/DMs filtered vs. allowed.
- Access map changes—who gained or lost access, and which risky patterns were eliminated.
- High-risk events: multiple failed logins, suspicious devices, spikes in phishing or fake profiles.
Instead of giving you another screen to obsess over, Spikerz is there so that when something goes wrong—or nearly does—you can get a straight story fast. You can see what happened, where it came from, and how the situation changed once Spikerz stepped in, whether that meant blocking a login, taking down an impersonator, or cleaning up a wave of bad comments.
That kind of traceability is also what stops Spikerz from feeling like a vague “security expense.” It becomes something you can point to in real business conversations with agents, partners, or brand clients: here are the incidents we avoided, here’s how quickly they were handled, and here’s how we protected the audience and revenue you’re paying us to reach.
Conclusion: A security layer creators should start treating like rent
Spikerz doesn’t promise more views, better CPMs, or viral hooks. It assumes you’ve already figured that out—and now you need to protect what you built from the messier parts of the social ecosystem.
For creators, the platform’s real strengths sit exactly where most creator stacks are weakest:
- Always-on account and access protection for assets that now behave more like property than “just accounts.”
- Community integrity tools that keep comments and DMs usable without requiring you to turn into a full-time moderator.
- Impersonator and phishing defense for audiences who increasingly expect creators to keep them safe from scams in their name.
It’s not perfect—opaque pricing and the lack of a self-serve tier will keep smaller creators on the fence, and the overall positioning still reads more “enterprise” than “solo creator.” But for anyone whose channels already function as a business, the question is less “Do I need a tool like this?” and more “What’s the cost of not having something in this category?”
If your audience, partners, and revenue depend on the stability of a few social accounts, Spikerz is one of the few tools designed to treat those accounts like what they’ve quietly become: digital property worth locking, monitoring, and defending with intent.
