Find Powerful Micro Influencers to Grow Your Brand

We have multiple trusted sources for influencer data on Trendly. Our in-house team specializes in manually reviewing and curating micro-creators (under 100k followers), with a strong focus on Instagram. Because of this, we can confidently say that more than 90% of quality micro-influencers are already available on our platform. While Trendly grows every day, our core focus remains on micro-creators to best serve the startup ecosystem.

For enterprise solutions or when you’re looking for macro or celebrity influencers (or influencers on other platforms like LinkedIn or YouTube), we also rely on verified datasets such as Modash and Phyllo.

The micro-influencers curated on Trendly are closely evaluated by our internal AI system, which analyzes multiple data points to detect anomalies in an influencer’s profile. Each influencer is assigned a trust score that reflects the authenticity of their audience.

Our AI looks at details like follower profiles, names, images, and engagement patterns in comments and likes to identify whether the engagement is genuine or bot-driven. This process is continuously improving, so you don’t have to worry about fake followers — you can focus on collaborations while Trendly handles the background checks.

This saves companies valuable time and builds confidence in moving forward with the right influencers.

This is one of the most common questions we get. Trendly gives you a powerful way to discover the right influencers, backed by our AI-generated Trustability Score. This score is based on multiple credibility metrics—past brand collaborations, engagement quality, audience authenticity, and patterns like whether an influencer hides engagement. Influencers with a score above 80% are highly unlikely to face delivery issues.

That said, it’s important to be clear: Trendly is a discovery tool, not a PR or marketing agency. We do not take responsibility for influencer deliverables or campaign timelines. Our role ends at helping you find the right influencers with the highest probability of reliable delivery.

Still, we don’t leave you unsupported. If an influencer fails to deliver, we step in to apply pressure, escalate the issue, and blacklist repeat offenders. Those who repeatedly fail are also reported to partner networks that track influencer reputations, ensuring fraudulent activity damages their market credibility.

We know competitors often charge far more than Trendly. Trendly is built for startup brands who usually have tighter budgets than bigger companies.

We keep our costs low by focusing on a specific niche — micro-creators on Instagram. This allows us to operate lean while still providing high-quality, relevant influencer data. Since most startups aren’t looking for celebrity influencers, this focus makes Trendly both cost-effective and highly useful.

For enterprise plans, we also partner with trusted data providers like Modash and Phyllo. Even then, Trendly operates at nearly 30% of what they would charge you directly. This is possible because we run on a shared model, where partnered accounts are used across multiple Trendly customers, reducing costs without compromising access to quality data.

No (and yes). Trendly doesn’t specialize in macro or celebrity influencers — our core focus is micro-creators under 100k followers.

However, for customers who need access to larger influencers, we partner with data providers like Modash and Phyllo to fulfill those requirements.

No. Trendly is not a PR or marketing agency. We don’t handle brainstorming, content planning, or follow-ups with influencers. Even payments and financial agreements remain strictly between you and the influencer.

Trendly is a discovery tool — we help you find the right influencers and run campaigns that attract them directly, while you stay in full control of collaboration and content delivery.

Yes. The subscription cost you pay to Trendly is for discovering the right influencers and managing your campaigns on our platform.

The payment you agree upon with the influencer for their services is handled separately, directly between you and the influencer.

Normally, yes. If you’re unable to find the right influencer, you can submit a refund request to our team.

Each request is evaluated for validity. For example, if you’re looking for something very rare or unrealistic — like expecting a barter collaboration with a mid-tier influencer (e.g., 50k followers) for an unknown product — we first guide you to set your campaign expectations to industry standards. If, even after that, you still don’t get matched with any influencer, we process the refund.
