Collabstr is a US marketplace that prices its plans in dollars and charges a fee on each booking. If you want Indian creators, especially in a regional language, look at Indian marketplaces such as ProPop, GigaHat and Thommidhi, which let you book creators yourself. Agencies such as Kofluence and Hobo.Video run the campaign for you instead.
What Collabstr is
Collabstr is a marketplace where brands find creators, book them and pay through the site. Its free plan charges a 10% fee on each order, and its paid plans are priced in US dollars. It also says creators pay a separate 15% fee on what they are paid.
It works in many countries, but its site does not say anything about Indian or regional-language creators. That is the main reason an Indian shop or restaurant looks elsewhere.

Marketplace, agency or software: which one you need
A marketplace lets you pick the creator and send the offer yourself. It suits a shop owner who wants control and a small budget. An agency picks the creators and runs the campaign, which costs more but takes less of your time.
Software such as Qoruz, Modash or HypeAuditor helps you find and check creators, but you still contact and pay them yourself. Modash and HypeAuditor are priced for larger brands and do not say anything about Indian creators on their sites.
Winkl and Plixxo still appear in older lists, but their websites did not load when we checked on 7 November 2026.
What to check before you pay anyone
Whichever site you pick, ask these questions first.
- Is my money held until the post goes live, or paid upfront?
- Can I see where the creator’s followers live, from the platform itself rather than typed in?
- Is there a fee on top of the creator’s price, and who pays it?
- Do they have creators who post in my customers’ language and city?

Of the sites we checked, ProPop, GigaHat and Thommidhi name Telugu on their own websites. ProPop started with Telugu creators in Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh.
