TransformerModash helps you find and manage creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, from $199 a month billed yearly; it doesn't cover X. Transformer is where you send paid offers to creators on X, with payment held until the post is verified, and no subscription. If your audience is on X, Modash can't help you find it; if it's on Instagram or TikTok, Transformer isn't the tool yet.

Discovery tool vs marketplace
A discovery tool gives you a searchable database of public creator profiles, audience data and contact details. You still do outreach, negotiation, contracts and checking posts.
A marketplace is where the deal happens: an offer with a price, the payment held, the post verified and the money released. Transformer also has creator search, limited to creators who have joined, with their X stats and rate cards.
Where Modash is stronger
- Discovery at scale across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, with audience analytics.
- Shopify and affiliate tools for e-commerce.
Where Transformer is stronger
- X coverage, which Modash doesn't offer.
- The transaction itself: offers, held payment, verification, payouts and attribution.
- No subscription.
Verdict
Use Modash to find Instagram, TikTok and YouTube creators at scale. Use Transformer to pay creators on X for verified posts, from a dashboard or an AI agent.
