Free Plan Opens Verified US Creator Database to Every Brand
KALO IQ today announced the launch of a free plan that gives any US brand unlimited search access to its verified American creator database, with no time limit and no credit card required. The move makes KALO IQ the first influencer marketing platform to offer a permanent free tier covering its full verified database.
What is included in the free plan
The free plan covers the same 50 million hand-verified US creator database that paid customers use, with the full set of search filters available: niche, audience demographics, follower band, engagement rate, location plus content category. There is no time limit, no usage cap on searches plus no credit card required at signup.
The plan is positioned as an evaluation tier. Brands can search, shortlist plus review creator profiles freely. Email unlocks, outreach tools, campaign tracking plus CSV exports remain paid features starting at $79/mo on the Starter plan.
Why a free plan in influencer marketing
"Most platforms in this category gate even basic discovery behind a sales call or a 14-day trial," said James Carter, CEO and founder of KALO IQ. "Brands end up evaluating tools they can barely test. We are confident enough in the workflow that we want US brands to use it freely. The free plan is a discovery tool the team can actually adopt without budget approval, plus it pays for itself when teams hit outreach volume."
The launch follows 18 months of customer feedback from US DTC, beauty, fitness plus apparel brands who consistently flagged trial-period pressure as the biggest blocker to platform adoption.
How the free plan affects pricing
Paid plans remain unchanged at Starter $79/mo, Growth $199/mo plus Agency $399/mo, all with 30% off annual billing. No existing customer pricing is affected by the launch.
