Can you compare influencer performance in a campaign?
Quick answer
Yes and it is one of the most valuable things you can do, as long as you attribute results to each creator and judge them against their role. Track each creator outcomes separately with unique links and codes, then compare on the metrics that match what each was there to do. A reach creator and a conversion creator are not judged on the same number. Done right, this shows who actually delivered and informs who you rehire. The honest point is that per-creator comparison is how you learn which creators are worth their fee, so the value is in attributing results individually rather than reading the campaign as one blur, which means the setup, unique tracking per creator, is what makes the comparison possible at all.

Judge each creator against their role, a reach creator and a conversion creator are not judged on the same number and compare on results relative to cost since efficiency frequently tells you more than raw totals.

Yes, comparing the performance of different creators in a campaign is one of the most valuable things you can do, because it is how you learn which creators actually deliver for you but it depends on attributing results to each creator individually. The setup is per-creator tracking: give each creator a unique trackable link and a unique promo code so the traffic, conversions and actions they drive are tagged to them specifically, which is what lets you separate one creator results from another rather than seeing the campaign as a single blur. With that in place, you can compare creators on what each contributed, clicks, conversions, engagement, sales, whatever your tracked outcomes are and see who moved the needle and who did not. Without per-creator attribution set up upfront, you simply cannot tell creators apart in the results, so the tracking is what makes the comparison possible at all.
The discipline that makes the comparison fair is judging each creator against their role, because creators in the same campaign frequently have different jobs. If one creator was there for broad awareness and another for direct conversions, comparing them both on conversions unfairly buries the awareness creator, who was never meant to drive immediate sales, so you compare each creator on the metric that matches what they were there to do or you weigh their different contributions explicitly rather than forcing one number on everyone. You also account for fairness factors like audience size and cost, since a creator who drove fewer absolute conversions but at a far lower fee may have better value, which is why comparing on efficiency (results relative to cost) frequently tells you more than raw totals. The honest framing is that per-creator comparison is how you learn which creators are worth their fee, so the value is in attributing results individually and judging each against their role rather than reading the campaign as one blur, which means the setup of unique tracking per creator is what makes the whole exercise work. The payoff is concrete: knowing who actually delivered tells you who to rehire, who to drop and where to put budget next time, which compounds your results over campaigns. So set up per-creator tracking, compare each creator on their role and on efficiency and use it to learn who is worth it. So yes, you can compare the performance of different influencers in a campaign by attributing results to each with unique links and codes, then comparing on the metrics that match each creator role and on results relative to cost, since a reach creator and a conversion creator are not judged on the same number, so the value is attributing results individually rather than reading the campaign as one blur, which makes per-creator tracking the setup that enables the comparison.
The per-creator performance comparison is tracking and analytics work that lives in your own tools, so the comparison itself is not what Flinque does. Where Flinque shapes the comparison is before the campaign: comparing creators fairly assumes each had a genuine, well-matched audience to begin with, so vetting authenticity and fit with Flinque means a weak result reflects the real performance of the creator rather than a fake audience that never could have delivered, which makes the comparison meaningful rather than a measurement of who had the most bots. Starting every creator from a verified, well-matched audience is what makes per-creator results comparable. So Flinque helps ensure the creators you are comparing were all genuine prospects and the attribution and comparison are the analytics work you run. So use Flinque to vet the creators going in and compare their tracked performance in your own analytics.
