At a glance
Here is where 1Lookup wins against Phyllo, and where Phyllo still wins.
1Lookup checks any creator's public profile with no permission and no onboarding, so you can vet someone before they ever sign up with you. Phyllo's creator API returns data only for creators who connect their own account to your app.
1lookupWhere 1Lookup wins- Works on any public account with no creator onboarding, OAuth flow or consent screen
- Live at call time, so a screening list can be checked the day you build it
- Ten networks through one endpoint and one response shape
- Per-lookup pricing with no charge for handles that do not resolve
- The same credits also buy phone, email and IP validation
What it costs
From $2.00
per 1,000 lookups; $4.95 on Starter
Where Phyllo wins- Consented first-party data that public reading cannot reach: creators authorise through OAuth and Phyllo pulls from the source platform, surfacing post-login metrics, audience demographics and income data rather than estimates
- A genuine self-serve developer on-ramp to the sandbox, unusual for an enterprise social-data vendor: API keys from the dashboard with no demo and no credit card. The $399/month tier is publicly priced, though reaching it still means a contact form rather than a checkout
- Very wide platform coverage under one normalised schema, with a coverage page listing 27 platforms spanning social, commerce and publishing, including long-tail sources most competitors skip
- An unusually broad product suite for one vendor, including identity, audience and engagement intelligence, content, income, comments, social listening and screening, video intelligence and write APIs for publishing
- A credible enterprise posture: a large creator index, a published uptime SLA and sub-second p95 response target, backed by SOC 2 and GDPR/CCPA compliance
What it costs
$399/month (Startup) for up to 2,000 monitored accounts across the Identity, Engagement, Audience and Comments APIs, with dedicated chat support
Short answer
Phyllo's creator API is built around the creator connecting their own account, which unlocks data no outsider can see, such as private analytics. 1Lookup reads public profiles only, with no permission needed and no onboarding of the creator. The trade is depth against reach: consented data is richer, public data covers everyone.
What replaces what
Here is which 1Lookup product matches each Phyllo job.
Each row shows the consented-data capability and the public equivalent, with the honest limits of reading a public page.
Creator profile and audience identity data
Social Profile Check API
The public profile for any handle on ten networks with no creator onboarding step: followers, following, posts, verified, private and business flags.
10 credits per matched profile
Content and engagement recordsSocial Post Lookup API
Public engagement on a specific post URL: likes, comments, shares, views, caption, author and date.
5 credits per matched post
Audience demographicsTikTok Audience Demographics API
Follower countries for a TikTok handle, each with an ISO code and percentage share. Countries only: no age, no gender.
40 credits per matched handle
Creator contact and link discoveryLink-in-Bio Lookup API
Every destination on a creator's Linktree, Komi, Pillar, Lnk.bio or Linkme page, which is usually where the shop, newsletter and contact route live.
3 credits per matched page
Side by side
Both products are measured on the same criteria, using Phyllo'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 | Monthly subscription priced by the number of monitored accounts rather than per API call. Three tiers are publicly priced and they buy the Identity, Engagement, Audience and Comments APIs only; the rest of the catalogue (Social Listening, Creator Discovery and the Public APIs, Video Intelligence, Social Screening, TikTok Shop, Income, Publish) carries no published number and is quote-only. The Custom tier is published at "more than 40,000 monitored accounts", which overlaps the Advanced tier's 50,000 cap rather than sitting above it |
| Starting price | $99/mo for 20,000 credits ($4.95 per 1,000, down to $2.00 on Enterprise) | $399/month (Startup) for up to 2,000 monitored accounts across the Identity, Engagement, Audience and Comments APIs, with dedicated chat support |
| Free option | Free single lookups via the online tools at 1lookup.io/tools, no account required | Up to 250 monitored accounts across the Identity, Engagement, Audience and Comments APIs, with a 6-business-hour support SLA. That allowance is published on a contact form (/signup/try-free) which never states a price. Separately, the sandbox dashboard at /start-building is genuine no-card self-signup, "API keys in minutes". They are two different things and we do not claim the 250-account plan is instant self-serve |
| Free trial | 7-day free trial on every plan: $5 of credits on Starter, $20 on Growth, Professional, and Enterprise, with no payment today | No time-boxed trial is published. Instead there is a standing free account plus a sandbox with API keys and no card required; no duration or expiry is stated |
| Do credits expire? | Unused monthly credits roll over for 3 months; separately purchased credits last 1 year | Not published |
At volume
This is what Phyllo charges at each volume it publishes.
| Volume | Price | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 1Lookup, every plan | $99 to $1,999 a month | $2.00 to $4.95 |
| Up to 2,000 monitored accounts (Startup) | $399/month | Not a per-lookup rate: $399/mo over the 2,000-account cap is about $199.50 per 1,000 monitored accounts per month, our arithmetic, and only at full use of the cap |
| Up to 10,000 monitored accounts (Growth) | $1,499/month | Not a per-lookup rate: $1,499/mo over the 10,000-account cap is about $149.90 per 1,000 monitored accounts per month, our arithmetic, and only at full use of the cap |
| Up to 50,000 monitored accounts (Advanced) | $4,999/month | Not a per-lookup rate: $4,999/mo over the 50,000-account cap is about $100 per 1,000 monitored accounts per month, our arithmetic, and only at full use of the cap |

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 Phyllo 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 | Phyllo |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | The API is the product; access is tiered by monitored-account volume. Free: up to 250 monitored accounts for the Identity, Engagement, Audience and Comments APIs. Startup $399/mo: up to 2,000. Growth $1,499/mo: up to 10,000. Advanced $4,999/mo: up to 50,000. |
| 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 | Not listed |
| Uptime SLA | Not listed | "99.99% API uptime SLA. Sub-second p95 response" is stated on the homepage. /social-data-api states only "99.99% uptime" as a marketing stat with no SLA wording. No contract terms, measurement window, or service credits are published anywhere. |
| Compliance | Not listed | SOC 2 is claimed but the report type is inconsistent across Phyllo's own pages: /soc-2 says only 'SOC2 compliance' with no type, /pricing says 'SOC 2 Type 1 compliance', /social-data-api says 'SOC II' in a marketing bullet. /security attributes SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 to AWS, its hosting provider, not to Phyllo. GDPR is stated on /social-data-api. Social screening workflows are described as aligned with FCRA, EEOC, GDPR and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (/social-screening). Encryption stated as 256-bit AES at rest and TLS 1.3 with RSA 2048-bit in transit; hosted on AWS. No HIPAA and no ISO 27001 certification of Phyllo itself. |
| Support | Starter: Email Support; Growth: Priority Email & Chat Support; Professional: Chat + Live Meeting; Enterprise: Dedicated CSM | Free tier: dedicated community support, dedicated account manager, support SLA up to 6 business hours, on-call technical support worth $250/mo. Startup ($399/mo): dedicated chat support, on-call technical support worth $250/mo. Growth ($1,499/mo): dedicated chat support, on-call technical support worth $250/mo, named account manager, support SLA up to 3 business hours. Advanced ($4,999/mo): dedicated chat support, on-call technical support (no dollar figure listed), named account manager, support SLA up to 3 business hours. |
This is the Phyllo fine print worth reading twice.
Published terms that change what Phyllo costs or what you can do with it. Each one links to the Phyllo page it was read on, because a claim about somebody else’s contract should be checkable in one click.
The canonical pricing page publishes no prices and no plan names; it states "Depending on your exact use case, we offer customized plans" and routes to a "Get a Quote" form.
Read it on Phyllo’s sitePlan capacity is capped by monitored accounts (250 free, 2,000 Startup, 10,000 Growth, 50,000 Advanced, each on its own /signup page). No overage rate and no exceed-the-cap policy is published anywhere on the site.
Read it on Phyllo’s siteThe named account manager and the 3-business-hour support SLA are only on the $1,499/mo Growth tier and above; the $399/mo Startup tier lists neither.

Who it is for
Pick 1Lookup or stay with Phyllo depending on the job in front of you.
1lookupChoose 1Lookup if
you need to check creators who have no relationship with you yet, with no OAuth flow to build and no consent screen for them to accept.
PhylloConsider Phyllo instead if
you need the private metrics only the account holder can see, such as reach, impressions and story views, and your creators will connect their accounts to get them.
Questions
People ask these questions before they switch from Phyllo.
What is the difference between consented and public creator data?
Consented data comes from the creator authorising your application, which can expose private analytics such as reach, impressions and audience breakdowns the platform shows only to the account holder. Public data is what any logged-out visitor sees. Consented is deeper and requires the creator to act; public is shallower and works on anyone immediately.
Can I vet a creator who has not signed up with me?
That is the case public data is for. You do not need the creator to do anything: send the handle and the platform and get their live public numbers back. It is why public-page lookups suit the vetting stage, before there is any relationship to ask a favour of.
Do you return impressions, reach or story views?
No, and no public-page reader can. Those metrics are visible only inside the account, which is exactly what a consented integration is for. If your product needs them, that is a strong reason to use a consent-based API, and no amount of public data substitutes.
How quickly can I start?
Immediately, because there is nothing to integrate on the creator's side. No OAuth flow to build, no connect screen to design, no waiting for creators to authorise. Add a card, generate a key, POST a handle. That is the practical advantage of the shallower dataset.
What audience data can you actually give me?
Follower countries with ISO codes and percentage shares, for TikTok handles only, at 40 credits each. That answers one specific question well: is this creator's audience where I sell. It does not answer age, gender, or interests, and we do not claim it does.
Can I use both?
Sensibly, yes, and plenty of teams should. Public lookups are cheap and work on everyone, which suits screening a long list. A consent-based integration is worth the build for the creators you actually sign, where the deeper numbers change decisions.
