How much does Kolsquare cost? Pricing and plans explained (2026)

Kolsquare pricing at a glance

Kolsquare does not sell fixed, off-the-shelf licenses. Plans are scoped to how many users you have, which markets you operate in and which modules you need: creator discovery, campaign management, reporting and competitive benchmarking.

What’s included in every Kolsquare plan

• Creator discovery: AI-powered search across millions of verified creator profiles, with 100+ filters (audience, engagement, credibility, location and more).
• Campaign management: run influencer campaigns end-to-end, with briefs, payments and tracking in one platform.
• Integrated creator payments: Kolsquare’s payment feature, powered by GigaPay, lets managers authorize creator payments in one click from a campaign wallet. GigaPay handles compliance with local tax laws, tax reporting (including DAC7), currency conversion and payouts, with a single invoice for the brand.
• Reporting and measurement: automated influencer reporting, including EMV, ROI and other performance metrics.
• Compliance built in: Kolsquare’s compliance scoring covers the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, aligned with each market’s self-regulatory organization: ASA (UK), ARPP (France), Werberat (Germany), IAP (Italy) and Autocontrol (Spain).
• Responsible by design: Kolsquare is a certified B Corp and GDPR-compliant European platform (#InfluenceForGood).

How does Kolsquare’s cost compare to other options?

Part of the confusion around cost: “influencer marketing tools” can mean three very different things, each priced differently.

A platform subscription is predictable: one annual fee instead of per-campaign service margins. Creator fees are a separate budget line, and they follow market dynamics, not software pricing.

What do influencer campaigns actually cost in 2026?

There is no fixed price list for creators. Kolsquare’s guide “Beyond the post: rethinking influencer pricing and payments” tracks how fees are actually set. The key findings:

• Performance has replaced follower counts. Follower-based flat fees are disappearing. Brands increasingly set payment on hard data such as engagement rate, reach, views and conversions, which puts niche micro-influencers and larger profiles on more even footing.
• Prices have stabilized. After the post-Covid peak, price growth has stabilized and even declined in some sectors; CPMs for awareness campaigns have almost halved as the supply of micro and macro creators has grown.
• Niche and market drive rates. Luxury, high-end fashion, tech and niche creators still command very high CPMs in Germany, Austria and the Nordics; creators covering sensitive topics tend to earn less than lifestyle or fashion profiles.
• Conversion deals are hybrid. For sales-driven campaigns, hybrid affiliate/fixed-fee structures tied to sales or traffic are now the norm.
• Regulation is tightening. France now requires written contracts for influencer work, and late payments are a hard no in Germany.
