Five steps to switch from Modash to KALO IQ

Total time about 30 minutes for a typical 100-creator workflow. Most of the time is spent exporting Modash shortlists. KALO IQ import takes 2 minutes per CSV.

Step 1: Export every Modash shortlist as CSV

Open each Modash shortlist plus campaign plus click Export. Modash CSV includes handles, follower counts plus any tags you set. Save the files locally before doing anything else.

Step 2: Note your Modash email unlock count for context

KALO IQ does not import email unlock state from Modash. Note how many creators you had unlocked emails for so you can budget KALO IQ unlocks accordingly. Average team: 60 to 150 unlocked creators.

Step 3: Sign up for KALO IQ free plan with a work email

Visit kaloiq.com/signup plus create an account. No credit card required. Free plan unlocks immediately with 25 email unlocks per month plus 50 saved shortlists.

Step 4: Import Modash CSVs via the KALO IQ Lists feature

Click Lists plus Import CSV. Map the Modash handle column to KALO IQ handle plus drop the import. About 90% of US creators over 5,000 followers match automatically. Unmatched creators get flagged for manual confirmation.

Step 5: Re-unlock emails on the new platform plus restart workflow

On KALO IQ free, unlock 25 priority emails per month. Upgrade to Starter ($79) for 500 unlocks or Growth ($199) for 2,000. Outreach templates plus campaign tracking work the same as on Modash.

What carries over from Modash plus what does not

Some data migrates cleanly via CSV. Some Modash-specific state does not transfer. Plan around the gaps before you cancel your Modash contract.
