Introduction
Audiencly and MG Empower are both managed agencies, so comparing them is about scope and fit rather than software you sign into. Audiencly is a gaming and esports creator agency based in Düsseldorf. MG Empower is a full-service, integrated agency based in London. Both run campaigns for you rather than hand you a tool.
This page sets out what each agency does, where it is based and who it has worked with, using only publicly stated details. Neither publishes a creator database size or a public rate card, since both sell done-for-you services rather than self-serve access. Worth noting up front: Audiencly was acquired by Flexion in 2022. Every detail below is reported and worth confirming directly. At the end we cover where Flinque fits as the self-serve software alternative.

What Audiencly is
Audiencly is a Düsseldorf agency that specialises in gaming and esports creators. It builds campaigns on YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, the channels where players spend their time, so its expertise is narrow but deep. In 2022 it was acquired by Flexion, so its ownership sits inside a larger mobile-games business now.
The public detail does not go much further. Audiencly publishes no creator database size and no rate card, so it is a managed service you scope directly rather than a tool you log into. That works for a games brand that wants creator activity aimed at players. It is a poor fit for a team that wants broad, self-serve reach across many categories.

What MG Empower is
MG Empower is a full-service, integrated agency based in London. It combines influencer and social with experiential, strategy and creative, so it pitches itself as an end-to-end partner rather than a single-channel shop. Publicly stated clients include Bumble, Chopard, Deliveroo and TikTok's parent ByteDance, which points at brand and tech work.
As with most agencies the public detail stops at focus and clients. MG Empower does not publish a database size or public pricing, so you engage it as a service and agree scope directly. That suits a brand that wants a broad, integrated campaign delivered for it. It is not built for a team that would rather run creator discovery and vetting itself.

Head to head
The contrast here is scope and geography. Audiencly is a narrow gaming and esports specialist in Düsseldorf, now under Flexion. MG Empower is a broad, integrated agency in London that folds influencer work into strategy, social, experiential and creative. If you are launching a game, Audiencly is the specialist. If you want one partner to run an integrated brand campaign, MG Empower has the wider remit. Both are managed services, so neither gives you software to run campaigns yourself.
Where each one leaves a gap
The trade-offs are clear.
- Audiencly sticks to gaming and esports, so a brand outside games will find it narrow. The specialism that suits a launch is also a hard boundary.
- The 2022 Flexion acquisition folded it into a larger games business, so confirm how the current setup operates before you commit. Ownership shapes priorities and process.
- It keeps database size and pricing private like any agency, so you cannot judge it on numbers before a call. It runs campaigns for you rather than handing you a tool.
- MG Empower is broad and integrated, which can be more than a brand that only wants a focused creator push actually needs. Breadth can mean a bigger scope and a bigger fee.
- As a managed service it means agency fees and a scoping process rather than a login. That works when you want delivery handled. It is limiting if you want to run the work yourself.
- It does not publish a creator database size or a rate card, so there is no spec to compare before a conversation. You weigh it on clients and focus rather than numbers.
Where Flinque fits
Flinque is the self-serve software alternative to both. Instead of briefing an agency, you search and vet creators yourself in a platform with a reported 10 million-plus verified creators across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X, spanning a reported 25-plus countries. Every profile carries a reported 200 data points and a fake-follower check, with 12 filters across creator and audience data.
If you want a partner to own delivery, Audiencly and MG Empower are both managed options, one a gaming specialist and one a broad integrated shop. But if you would rather find verified creators yourself on four platforms with a price you can see and no demo or annual lock-in, that is what Flinque offers at a flat Free of $0, Starter at $49 a month or Enterprise at $150 a month.
