Heepsy alternatives

Small teams that need an inexpensive first list of handles.

Short answer

Heepsy is a budget-friendly discovery tool popular with small teams starting out with influencer search and basic filters. If what you need is plain-English discovery, audience fit, authenticity and a fair price on every creator, and the work done from ChatGPT, Claude or Google Sheets rather than another platform, Zaver is the alternative to test. It is per workspace from $249 a month, with a 7-day trial and no card.

Why teams look for a Heepsy alternative

  • One mis-priced or fake-audience creator would cost more than your tooling budget
  • You want full creator reports: authenticity, audience, past deals, fair price
  • You want plain-English search plus listening and competitor intelligence
  • You want a free trial to compare result quality directly

These are the needs people arrive with, not claims about Heepsy. If none of them is yours, Heepsy may be the right tool.

How Zaver differs

  1. 1

    Describe, do not filter

    Type the creator you want as a sentence. Up to 50 scored matches from 33 million creators in 10 to 30 seconds, one credit.

  2. 2

    Decide on every creator before you pay

    Audience age, gender and country, authenticity, engagement against the tier benchmark, past brand deals and a fair USD price with its basis, in one report.

  3. 3

    No new platform

    Zaver runs inside ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor over MCP, inside Google Sheets through the add-on, and inside your own tools through the API.

  4. 4

    The rest of the job

    Published contacts, shareable shortlists, scheduled tracking into Sheets, competitor tracker and report, strategy decoder, social listening.

  5. 5

    Per workspace

    One credit pool for the whole team, roles and an audit log, no seat count.

What to test on the trial

  • Type one brief in plain English and time the shortlist: Zaver returns up to 50 scored creators in 10 to 30 seconds.
  • Run an insight report on a creator you already know: compare the audience split, authenticity and fair price with what you paid.
  • Paste 50 handles into Google Sheets and run Profile Analytics: see whether followers and engagement refresh without copy-paste.
  • Ask for the same job in ChatGPT or Claude with Zaver connected: find, vet, price and share in one message.
  • Check the credits used in Settings → Audit log so you know what a month would cost at your volume.

Questions

Is Zaver a direct replacement for Heepsy?

For discovery, vetting, pricing, contacts, tracking, competitor intelligence and listening, yes. Heepsy may cover ground Zaver does not, such as relationship management, payments or content approvals, so map your actual workflow before switching.

How do I move my creator list?

Export your handles, paste them into Google Sheets, and run the Zaver add-on's Analyze selected profiles. Followers, engagement and bio refresh in place; insight reports add audience, authenticity and price for the ones you plan to pay.

What does Zaver cost?

Per workspace, not per seat, from $249 a month billed annually, each plan with a monthly credit pool. 7-day free trial · 100 credits · no credit card.

Do I need to learn a new platform?

No. Zaver runs inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Google Sheets through MCP and the add-on, or in the Radar web app if you prefer.
