Where SponsorTrace is stronger

  • Affiliate-program data sourced from brands' own partnership pages, next to the sponsor data.
  • Fit scores and pitch-timing signals on each brand, and a media kit, mentioned on the home page but not on any plan.
  • Shared sponsor lists and pitch analytics for agencies with up to 25 creator profiles.

Where DiscoverSponsors is different

  • The sponsored video linked on every deal, so you can see exactly how a brand was promoted.
  • Brand contacts and alerts included in the plan, not left to you to find.
  • Every deal labeled as a paid integration or an affiliate mention, with a paid-only filter.
  • Plans from $9.99/mo (Light) and $19.99/mo (Creator), with yearly prices on the page and a 14-day money-back guarantee, not a 7-day discretionary one.

Choose SponsorTrace if you want affiliate-program data and a media kit in the same tool as the sponsor database.
