With countless influencer platforms designed to simplify your marketing efforts, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. In this article, we'll explore one of the popular options—AspireIQ.

AspireIQ is an excellent platform developed by a talented team in Austin, Texas. At Vidovo, we don't see ourselves as competitors but rather as complementary tools that excel in different areas. We believe that influencer marketing works, and with the proper use of these platforms, you can achieve outstanding results.

In the following sections, we'll break down where each platform shines the most. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision if you're considering signing up for either AspireIQ or Vidovo.

AspireIQ is an Influencer MultiTool, Vidovo is a Marketplace

Aspire has developed a wide range of tools, particularly focusing on influencer outreach. They boast a database of hundreds of thousands of influencers and micro-influencers. However, you need to manually reach out to these influencers and invite them to join your campaigns.

Vidovo, on the other hand, operates as a marketplace. This means all the creators are active on our platform, regularly returning to interact, chat, and submit proposals for your campaigns. We've honed in on this specific use case to create the ultimate destination for sourcing creators for your videos, photos, or other specific user-generated content (UGC) needs.

If you're a marketer, Aspire functions more like ZoomInfo, HubSpot, or other CRM and outreach platforms. Vidovo, in contrast, is more like UpWork or LinkedIn but tailored specifically for creators.

Why Choose Vidovo over AspireIQ

There are a few reasons you might choose Vidovo over AspireIQ. It is dependent on your needs.

Hand-Curated Network of The Best Video Creators

Vidovo is not just another influencer platform; it's a curated network of the absolute best content creators specializing in video production within specific niches.

Every creator on Vidovo has been vetted before you even see them in the marketplace. This means brands don't have to sift through thousands of junk profiles to find the right fit—the best creators are already assembled and ready to collaborate.

Direct Applications From Creators

Unlike platforms where brands must reach out and wait for influencers to respond, Vidovo makes it easier. Creators apply directly to your campaigns, expressing genuine interest in your brand.

This ensures that every applicant is eager to work with you, saving you time and effort. All you need to do is review the applications and approve the creators you want to work with.

Dedicated Team Committed to Your Success

As a super small company, Vidovo offers a level of personalized attention that larger platforms can't match.

The dedicated team is deeply invested in your success, providing hands-on support throughout the entire content creation process. From campaign setup to final delivery, Vidovo ensures your experience is seamless and effective.

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

At Vidovo, we believe in straightforward, cost-effective solutions. Unlike other platforms that hide their pricing behind sales calls and lengthy negotiations, we offer clear and upfront pricing.

Vidovo does not have 1-year contracts, we are - and always will be, month to month. We truly believe in our product, we have no reason to lock you into long terms. We believe that we can deliver value to your brand month over month and don't need to lock you in to aggressive sales terms.

AspireIQ: Ideal for Manual Influencer Outreach and Product Exchanges

Excellent for Personalized Outreach

If your marketing strategy involves manually reaching out to creators and building one-on-one relationships, AspireIQ excels in this area. The platform offers an extensive database of over 150,000 influencers, allowing brands to connect directly with creators who align with their vision. This approach is particularly effective if you're looking to send products to influencers in exchange for posts, stories, or other content.

Considerations on Cost and Complexity

While AspireIQ provides robust tools for influencer outreach, it's important to note that this level of hands-on management can come with higher costs. Negotiating contracts and compensation individually with each influencer may increase expenses and extend timelines. This is very niche dependent, some brands do great with this type of marketing.

In summary, AspireIQ is a strong choice if you're willing to invest in manual outreach and personalized interactions with influencers. Just be mindful that this approach can be pricey and may require more time and resources to manage effectively.

Vidovo vs. AspireIQ: Making the Right Choice

While AspireIQ offers a vast database and might be suitable for brands looking to manage extensive influencer campaigns themselves, Vidovo shines for those seeking premium video UGC without the hassle.

Choose Vidovo if you want:

• The absolute best high-quality UGC videos for your digital marketing efforts
• A hands-on, personalized approach to content creation
• Transparent pricing and efficient processes
• Access to a curated network of top-tier video creators

Consider AspireIQ if you:

• Prefer to handle most of the influencer outreach and management yourself
• Are looking for a broader range of influencer types beyond video creators
• Have the time resources negotiate more complex deals with influencers

In conclusion, for brands that prioritize quality, efficiency, and results in their video UGC strategies, Vidovo emerges as the superior choice. See examples in our case studies.
