A project, or an ongoing program

minisocial is project based: you brief a campaign, it books the creators, and most campaigns run 4 to 6 weeks from brief to finished content, with no long-term commitment. That suits a brand that wants a defined batch of content and posts.

Scouty builds and runs creator programs that continue: the team recruits, briefs and manages creators over time, measures what each one brings in, and scales what works. A program is scoped on a call.

Posts and a content library, or customers

minisocial pairs posts on creators' own channels with a library of fully licensed photo or video assets, and creators share ad codes so the posts can be boosted. Scouty judges a program on customers: conversions, CAC and ROAS, not just views.

Who handles the creators

Both take the busy work off the brand. minisocial handles communications, contracts and follow-ups, the brand approves creators and content in its dashboard, and creator fees are inside the project price. With Scouty, the team recruits, briefs, pays and manages every creator on your behalf, and each creator's agreement is with you.

What else minisocial publishes

  • TikTok Shop, whitelisting and Spark Ads are listed among what is included.Source: minisocial.com
  • Its FAQ says it works with brands and agencies of all sizes, across CPG, food and beverage, beauty, wellness, fitness, fashion, home goods, digital products and service-based businesses.Source: minisocial.com
  • minisocial says it launched in 2018 and is trusted by 1,000+ brands and agencies.Source: minisocial.com

When minisocial is the better choice

  • You want a published starting price per project before you talk to anyone.
  • You want a defined campaign of micro-influencers posting on their own channels, with ad codes to boost the posts.
  • You want content you can use anywhere and for as long as you want, from one project.
  • You want to pay per project with no long-term commitment.

When Scouty is the better choice

  • You want an ongoing program that is measured and scaled, not a series of one-off projects.
  • You want results measured on conversions, CAC and ROAS.
  • You want creators recruited for your brief rather than invited from a single database.
  • You want one company to recruit, pay and manage creators, with each creator's agreement with you.

What Scouty does not do

A fair comparison says this plainly.

  • Scouty sells no software: there is nothing to log in to and run yourself. The team does the work.
  • Scouty does not sell single videos by the piece. It builds and runs creator programs.
  • Scouty publishes no price list. A program is scoped on a call, so there is no Scouty figure to set beside a vendor's here.
