Introduction
inCast and Influencer Response are both managed influencer agencies, so this comparison is about focus and status rather than software you log into. inCast is a full-service agency reported to be based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, running campaigns across Latin America and the United States. Influencer Response is a direct-response influencer and podcast agency in San Diego that was reported acquired by Acceleration Partners in 2022. Both deliver campaigns for you rather than hand you a tool.
Two notes up front. inCast's headquarters is reported inconsistently, with some directories listing Los Angeles rather than Brazil. Influencer Response no longer operates fully on its own, since it was reported folded into Acceleration Partners in 2022. Neither publishes a creator database size or a rate card. Every figure here is reported and worth confirming directly. At the end we cover where Flinque fits as the self-serve software alternative to both.

What inCast is
inCast is a full-service influencer marketing agency reported to operate from Sao Paulo, Brazil, with campaigns reaching across Latin America and into the United States. Its publicly stated clients include Heineken, BMW, Amazon and Samsung, a roster weighted toward large multinationals rather than small brands testing the channel. It sells a managed service, taking on strategy, creator selection and delivery so your team never touches a platform.
Public information beyond that is scarce. inCast does not disclose a creator database size, a feature set or a rate card. Its own headquarters is reported inconsistently, with some listings placing it in Los Angeles rather than Brazil, so its base is worth confirming. It suits a brand that wants an influencer push across LatAm and US markets handled for it, with the specifics agreed in a sales conversation rather than read off a page.

What Influencer Response is
Influencer Response is a direct-response influencer and podcast agency reported to be based in San Diego. Its model is performance and CPA-based, so the pitch is measurable, conversion-focused creator and podcast campaigns rather than pure awareness. In 2022 it was reported acquired by Acceleration Partners, the performance partnership agency, so it now sits inside a larger group rather than operating fully independently.
Public detail is minimal. Influencer Response does not publish a creator database size, a client list or pricing. Its direct-response work is described in broad terms only. Because of the Acceleration Partners acquisition, it is best understood today as part of that group's performance offering rather than a standalone shop. If CPA-based influencer and podcast campaigns are the goal, that is the model, though you should confirm how it operates now under new ownership.

Head to head
These two barely overlap. inCast is a full-service influencer agency for Latin America and the US, so it fits brands that want broad regional reach delivered for them. Influencer Response is a direct-response, CPA-based agency now inside Acceleration Partners, so it fits brands that want measurable conversions from influencer and podcast campaigns. Both are managed services though, so neither gives your team software to run discovery itself. Their statuses are also worth checking, one for its uncertain base and one for its acquisition.
Where each one leaves a gap
The trade-offs are clear.
- inCast publishes very little. Even its headquarters is reported inconsistently between Brazil and Los Angeles, so it is harder to know exactly what you are buying before a sales conversation.
- There is no public creator database size or rate card, so you cannot compare it on numbers. The detail only appears once you are already in a pitch.
- inCast runs campaigns for you, so it does not give an in-house team a tool to find and vet creators on demand. Teams wanting that control need software rather than an agency.
- Influencer Response was reported acquired by Acceleration Partners in 2022, so it no longer operates fully on its own. You would be engaging a group rather than the independent agency its name suggests.
- It publishes almost no detail, with no database size, client list or pricing in public. That leaves very little to assess before a conversation.
- As a direct-response managed service it runs campaigns for you rather than handing over software. A team that wants to search and vet creators directly gets a service, not a login.
Where Flinque fits
Flinque is the self-serve software alternative to both. Instead of hiring a team to run campaigns, 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, inCast and Influencer Response are both managed options, one leaning LatAm full-service and the other direct-response under Acceleration Partners. 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.
