At a glance
Here is where 1Lookup wins against HypeAuditor, and where HypeAuditor still wins.
HypeAuditor is a full influencer marketing platform: discovery, fraud scoring, campaign tracking and reporting. Its public pricing page carries no figures, and its own wording is that rates depend on how long a contract you sign. If the part you use is the creator data, that is a lot of workflow to commit to.
1lookupWhere 1Lookup wins- The rate is published, so you can price the job before speaking to anyone
- Priced per lookup, so cost tracks the creators you actually check rather than the term you signed
- No annual commitment, and no quote to wait for
- The data goes into your tools: your shortlist, your scoring model, your reporting
- One credit balance shared with phone, email and IP validation
What it costs
From $2.00
per 1,000 lookups; $4.95 on Starter
Where HypeAuditor wins- Among the largest publicly claimed creator databases in the category: the discovery page states 227.1M+ accounts with 35+ filters across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X and Twitch
- Audience-side data is their deepest asset and hard to replicate: audience country and city, age and gender, ethnicity, languages, interests and size, plus Instagram-only estimated income, education and marital status
- Purpose-built fraud detection that most raw-data APIs do not attempt at all, using a model they describe as relying on over 53 patterns to detect low-quality followers, surfaced as a quality score per platform with detection of engagement pods and giveaways
- One product spans the whole workflow rather than selling raw data: discovery, analytics, influencer CRM and outreach, campaign management, media plans and competitor analysis
- A real documented REST API with report endpoints for six platforms plus discovery, lists, campaign management, account media, brand mentions and competitor analysis

Short answer
HypeAuditor is an influencer marketing platform sold through sales, built to run discovery, vetting, campaigns and reporting in one place, with pricing quoted per contract rather than published. 1Lookup is not a platform: it is a set of data endpoints you call from whatever tool you already run campaigns in, at a rate printed on the pricing page.
What replaces what
Here is which 1Lookup product matches each HypeAuditor job.
Each row pairs a job the platform does with the endpoint that returns the raw material for it, priced per call.
Account vetting: is this creator real and worth the fee
Social Profile Check API
Followers, following, post count, verified, private and business flags, live from the public profile, for the ratios your own scoring model needs.
10 credits per matched profile
Audience geography before you approve a campaignTikTok Audience Demographics API
The follower-country split for a TikTok handle: every country with its ISO code and its percentage share, so you can see whether the audience is where you sell.
40 credits per matched handle
Discovering creators in a categorySocial Search API
A keyword returns a page of matching public profiles and content, which you can pipe straight into your own shortlist rather than a vendor's UI.
5 credits per search with results
Checking the posts a campaign actually producedSocial Post Lookup API
Post URL in, live likes, comments, shares, views and posted date out, so a delivery report is verified rather than accepted.
5 credits per matched post
Side by side
Both products are measured on the same criteria, using HypeAuditor's own published numbers.
| Criteria | 1lookup | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Monthly plans with universal credits; core phone, email and IP lookups cost 1 credit, enrichment and intelligence products cost more | Three paid mechanics, none of them with a published figure: sales-quoted subscriptions whose rate depends on contract length, per-report purchasing with volume discounts, and a separately sold credit-metered API. The public pricing page carries no plan table and no numbers |
| Starting price | $99/mo for 20,000 credits ($4.95 per 1,000, down to $2.00 on Enterprise) | Basic "starts at $299/month when billed annually", which is a floor rather than a set rate. It is the only dollar figure published on any HypeAuditor property and it sits on a blog post, not the pricing page. No PRO or Enterprise price is published anywhere, and no API price is published at all |
| Free option | Free single lookups via the online tools at 1lookup.io/tools, no account required | A free account after sign-up. HypeAuditor publishes no limits for it, only "Start with free media plans, campaign management, and demo versions of other features", so we do not quote numbers we cannot see. Separately, 40+ free standalone tools including an engagement rate calculator, fake follower check and account auditor |
| Free trial | 7-day free trial on every plan: $5 of credits on Starter, $20 on Growth, Professional, and Enterprise, with no payment today | By request only. A HypeAuditor blog post states trials are offered on a case-by-case basis; their help centre has no trial article at all, and no duration is published anywhere |
| Do credits expire? | Unused monthly credits roll over for 3 months; separately purchased credits last 1 year | Yes, in both products. Purchased reports expire 12 months after purchase and are locked immediately if the subscription lapses; API credit balances carry a validUntil timestamp and the API returns a 402 "API Access expired" once it passes |

A real result
This is what one 1Lookup result looks like.
Send the handle
POST platform plus handle, or just paste the full profile URL and we work out the platform from it. One request shape covers all ten platforms, and aliases like x, ig, yt and fb are accepted.
We fetch the profile live
First checks run a live fetch of the public profile, typically 30 to 60 seconds and up to about two minutes worst case. Repeats on the same profile within 7 days return instantly from cache.
Read the numbers and flags
Follower counts, engagement, the link in bio and the verified, private and business flags land in one JSON payload. A real profile bills 10 credits; a handle that resolves to nothing bills zero.

The evidence
Here is the evidence behind every number on this page.
Here are HypeAuditor and 1Lookup side by side on the terms you check before you sign.
The terms that decide what a year actually costs, rather than what the first month does. “Not listed” means we could not verify it on either product’s published pages, not that the answer is nothing.
| Term | 1Lookup | HypeAuditor |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum commitment | None. Monthly plans with no contract and no minimum volume; cancel any time | Not listed |
| API access | Included on every plan and during the free trial; there is no tier that unlocks it | Not published as a plan tier. The API docs state Client ID and API token are issued on request: "Reach us at support@hypeauditor.com if you don't have them." |
| Rate limit | 200 requests per 10 seconds for each API key on standard lookups and 1,000 requests a minute for each key on number type, HLR and MNP, and each account can make up to 1,000 requests a minute in total across all its keys; higher limits are available on request | "There is the limit on RPS (request per seconds), it should be less than 100 per minute." (hypeauditor.readme.io/reference/basic; no per-tier variation published) |
| Compliance | Not listed | GDPR (Data Processing Agreement referenced in Terms; DPO at dpo@hypeauditor.com) and CCPA rights described in the Terms. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is published for HypeAuditor itself; the Privacy Policy attributes ISO 27001 only to its hosting providers (AWS, DigitalOcean). |
| Support | Starter: Email Support; Growth: Priority Email & Chat Support; Professional: Chat + Live Meeting; Enterprise: Dedicated CSM | Email support at support@hypeauditor.com (Terms 7.5) and a public help center at help.hypeauditor.com. No per-tier support commitments published. |
This is the HypeAuditor fine print worth reading twice.
Published terms that change what HypeAuditor costs or what you can do with it. Each one links to the HypeAuditor page it was read on, because a claim about somebody else’s contract should be checkable in one click.
The pricing page publishes no plan names, prices, seat counts, or usage limits. Every path forward is a sales or signup action: 'Request demo', 'Book your free demo', 'Talk to sales', 'Contact sales', or 'Get started for free'.

Who it is for
Pick 1Lookup or stay with HypeAuditor depending on the job in front of you.
1lookupChoose 1Lookup if
the part you actually use is the creator data, and you would rather pay per lookup than per seat for discovery, campaign and reporting features you already have elsewhere.
HypeAuditorConsider HypeAuditor instead if
you want a full influencer marketing platform: a computed fraud score, audience age and gender breakdowns, campaign management and reporting in one place.
Questions
People ask these questions before they switch from HypeAuditor.
How much does HypeAuditor cost?
Their pricing page publishes no figures at all: no plan table, no tier names, no prices. The one number published anywhere on their site appears on a blog post rather than the pricing page, and their own wording is that rates depend on subscription term with the best rates on two-year agreements. The verified table on this page records exactly what we could read and marks the rest as not published.
Is 1Lookup a HypeAuditor replacement?
Only if what you want is the data. HypeAuditor gives you campaign management, creator outreach, reporting templates, audience age and gender breakdowns, and a fraud score computed for you across a very large creator index. We give you the public numbers a vetting decision rests on. Teams already running campaigns in a spreadsheet, an agency tool or their own product tend to want the second one.
Do you score fake followers?
We do not publish a single fraud score, and we would rather say so than ship a number we cannot defend. What we return are the inputs an analyst uses: follower and following counts, post volume, account age signals, verified and private flags, and engagement figures per post. If you want one score out of the box, that is a real reason to choose a platform that computes one.
Can I check audience age and gender?
No. Our audience endpoint returns follower countries only, each with an ISO code and a percentage share, and only for TikTok. Age and gender breakdowns are a genuine gap against platform vendors. We list it plainly on the product page rather than in a footnote.
What does it cost to vet a shortlist of 50 creators?
A profile check is 10 credits and the TikTok audience split is 40. Vetting 50 creators on profile data alone is 500 credits; adding the country split for the 10 that make the cut adds 400. The rate card and what that works out to in dollars is on the pricing page, and handles that no longer exist are not charged at all.
Is there a contract or a minimum commitment?
No. Plans are monthly, credits are shared across every 1Lookup product including phone, email and IP validation, and unused monthly credits roll over for three months. A card is required to start the trial. There is no quote to request and no term to negotiate, which is the whole point of a published rate.
