Grin takes everything you know you want from an influencer marketing platform and integrates it with your e-commerce platform, unlocking features you didn’t know you needed. Gifting products, tracking sales referrals, and finding influencers from your own customer base extend the use of what is already a full featured product.
Pros and Cons
Easily find new influencers from a pool of your registered customers
Integrate influencer generated content library with e-commerce platform
Understand true ROI with real time tracking of sales/referrals

One of the best of the early influencer marketing platforms, Aspire still ranks at the top. Fully featured (yes, it has that one you’re looking for) and thoughtfully designed, the platform provides everything you need before, during, and after your campaigns.
Pros and Cons
Truly end-to-end software that leaves its users wanting for nothing
Multiple ways to discover new influencers, including image recognition AI that matches your desired aesthetic with content
Tons of forms and templates that make everyone’s life easier
Influencers recommended by the algorithm often seem irrelevant and randomly generated
Long load times of pages/tools in the browser
Best for: Large Store
