What does it cost?

Both agencies operate custom-scoped engagements where pricing reflects engagement scope, creator tier, and program duration.

Zorka.Agency pricing. Tiered program structure with published entry points at $20K, $50K, and $150K+. ROI forecasting and risk assessment before scope commitment. Performance metrics tracking against installs, registrations, and post-install events. AI platform supports creator analytics and competitive analysis. Globally distributed team coordination for multi-region game launches.

Brand campaigns drawn from managed talent roster or external creators. Strategic creative direction integrated with talent positioning. Talent management infrastructure supports long-term creator-brand programs. Multi-platform delivery across YouTube, Instagram, and broader media.

Flinque pricing. $25 per month annual or $50 per month monthly. Public on the website. 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The software fee is flat regardless of campaign volume, with creator fees paid directly to creators at zero platform markup.

Reporting and measurement

Reporting cadence and methodology vary across the three options. The fit depends on whether your team values brand metrics, performance attribution, or full data control.

Zorka.Agency reporting. Account-team-delivered reporting structured around the agency’s service framework. Cadence aligns with retainer touchpoints. Custom reporting available at higher engagement tiers.

Gleam Futures reporting. Account-team-delivered reporting structured around the agency’s service framework. Cadence aligns with retainer touchpoints. Custom reporting available at higher engagement tiers.

Flinque reporting. Real-time campaign analytics on engagement, reach, and conversions. Creator-level performance dashboards inside the platform. Custom UTM and conversion tracking integration with your analytics stack. Export-ready data for in-house performance review and attribution modeling. Self-serve insights without waiting for agency reporting cadence.

Questions to ask before signing

Before committing to either agency, get clear answers on the items that drive campaign quality and budget efficiency.

• Creator vetting. What process and what tools vet creator audience quality and engagement authenticity?
• Pricing transparency. What is the agency fee structure separate from creator fees, and what triggers scope-change cost?
• Contract terms. What is the minimum engagement duration and what cancellation terms apply?
• Reporting cadence. What metrics are reported, at what frequency, and what attribution methodology supports the numbers?
• Creator approvals. Who has final say on creator selection, and what is the substitution process if a creator falls through?
• Content rights. What usage rights to creator content does the brand hold post-campaign?
• FTC compliance. Who manages creator disclosure compliance and what liability sits with the agency?
• Performance benchmarks. What category benchmarks does the agency reference, and what defines campaign success?

The third option: skip the agency

Both Zorka.Agency and Gleam Futures run five and six-figure managed engagements. If your team can run campaigns in-house, software costs a fraction of either and gives you full operational control. Flinque is an Influencer Marketing Software built for in-house teams that want to skip the agency markup. The pricing is $25/month annual or $50/month monthly, with full feature parity in the base plan.

Why software beats an agency for self-serve teams. $25/month versus five to six figures per campaign. Pick creators, set briefs, and manage outreach yourself. 100 percent of spend goes to creators with zero markup. Launch campaigns in days instead of weeks of agency onboarding. Cancel anytime, no annual retainer lock-in.

When self-serve is the right call. You have a marketing team with operational capacity. Your monthly creator marketing budget sits below the agency engagement floor. You want to test creator marketing before committing to retainer scope. You value control and transparency over delegation.

Flinque supports verified creator data across the three major short-form platforms: you can Find Instagram Influencers, Find TikTok Influencers, and Find YouTube Influencers with audience filters, engagement metrics, and reach data.
