Chose IZEA
IZEA has a much better discovery tool than GroupHigh, but GroupHigh had more data for more influencers.
Chose IZEA
We've taken a look at many other options like Tap Influence, but couldn't justify spending over $10,000 a year when that's a cost as an agency that we have to eat. We needed a more affordable solution. That said, Tap Influence is definitely better, easier to use, and has higher …

I think the biggest advantage of Sampler is that besides being able to be used from the computer, it has a lot of offers, besides having a better user experience, because unlike Peekage and Samplits, and at least in my region, Sampler is the one that has a better offer.

The market for sample-type websites is very fluid. There are many companies that pop up one day, then all of a sudden disappear. Sampler has been around for multiple years and has kept the same business model. They're not perfect, but their longevity and their relaxed nature …

The product can be returned if I don't like it without wasting the entire product. Business administrators can use it to make a perfect and appropriate purchase without missing a thing. A lot of the products sell out in seconds and the next batch comes a week later.

Sampler offered a more cost-effective and efficient option for us to do digital sampling and the base of subscribers looks wider comparing other service providers. If Sampler can provide more services that others are offering such as apps or more in-depth subscriber's behavioral studies, Sampler will be the only choice for us.
