FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many influencers can I get for my budget?

Divide the budget by the reported per-post rate for the tier you want. Reported bands put nano creators at $25 to $300 per post, micro at $150 to $1,500, mid tier at $1,000 to $6,000 and macro at $5,000 to $20,000. This planner uses the band midpoint for its headline count, then shows the range the band implies. A $10,000 budget focused on micro creators buys roughly 12 placements at the midpoint, somewhere between 6 and 66 depending on where each deal lands in the band.

Which creator tier gives the best value?

Reported figures point at micro. The micro tier accounts for roughly 65% of brand partnerships and reported blended costs put micro at about $0.20 per engagement against about $0.33 for macro creators. Micro audiences also engage at reported rates of 3% to 6%, well above the 1% to 2.5% reported for macro accounts. Macro placements still have a job, mainly reach in one hit, though for most budgets the efficient core of a plan is a set of micro creators.

Is one big creator better than many small ones?

Reported numbers usually favour the spread. A single macro deal at the reported $5,000 to $20,000 band can be matched by dozens of micro placements and a 50-creator micro program is reported to outperform one macro deal on both engagement and cost efficiency. The spread also cuts risk, since one underperforming creator out of thirty barely moves the result while one underperforming creator out of one is the whole campaign.

How does the mixed split work?

The mixed option splits the budget 25% nano, 50% micro and 25% macro, weighted toward micro in line with the reported partnership share. Each slice is divided by that tier's reported band midpoint to estimate creators. On smaller budgets the macro slice often buys nothing, since a quarter of the budget can sit below the reported $5,000 macro floor. That is shown honestly rather than rounded up, which is itself a useful signal that the budget wants a micro focus.

What does the planner assume about posts?

One static post per creator. Reported benchmarks price Reels at roughly 2x to 3x a static post, so a Reels-heavy plan buys proportionally fewer placements than the headline count. Packages that bundle a post with Stories are typically negotiated as a unit, so treat the count as placements rather than as individual pieces of content. Usage rights, exclusivity and production requirements all push real quotes around inside the reported bands.

Is the influencer budget planner free?

Yes, it is free with no signup and no card and the maths runs entirely in your browser. It pairs naturally with the rate estimator for pricing individual creators and the CPM and CPE calculators for judging results afterwards. When you are ready to actually find the creators the plan calls for, the full platform covers more than 10 million verified profiles with audience and authenticity data, starting at $0 with no card.
