Sites like Tomoson that still work.

Tomoson's campaign marketplace has stopped working. Here is where brands can get product reviews and creator content now, and where bloggers can still find free products and paid collabs.

Compare the sitesCreate an AI UGC ad

TL;DR

Brands should start with Afluencer or Intellifluence, which keep the post-a-campaign, creators-apply format. Reviewers should start with Influenster for free samples, or apply on those same two sites. If you only used Tomoson to get video for ads, you may not need a marketplace at all: EzUGC makes that video without shipping a product.

§ what happened

Is Tomoson still working?

Not as a marketplace. Tomoson used to let a brand list a product, take applications from bloggers and ship the item in exchange for an honest review. Today its homepage calls the site a source of articles on influencer marketing and social media.

The confusing part is that the old pages are still online. The pricing page lists plans from $49 to $599 a month. The campaigns page advertises over 4,538 campaigns. But every Apply button we checked links to a login URL, and that URL redirects to the homepage.

We found no shutdown notice on the homepage or About page, so we can't give you a reliable end date. What matters is the practical result: don't pay for a Tomoson plan or promo code, and don't count on recovering an old reviewer list or campaign history from the site.

How we picked

Each site had to be live and support at least one thing people used Tomoson for: trading product for honest content, booking a small paid collab, or getting creator-style video. We read each vendor's own pages on November 6, 2026 and use its published prices. Member counts are the vendors' own claims, and we did not run test campaigns.

EzUGC is our product, and it comes first because it is the route we know best. It is also a different kind of tool from the other seven, so judge it on the trade-offs below.

§ for brands

Sites like Tomoson for brands

Decide first whether you need real people using your product, or just creative to run as ads. Those are different purchases.

1.EzUGC

Best for brands that used Tomoson to get video for ads

Marketplace content has a slow middle: you approve applicants, ship product, wait and chase. EzUGC cuts that out for ad creative. You write or generate a script, pick an AI presenter and render AI UGC video ads in the app, in 29 languages.

The catch is real. EzUGC doesn't send your product to anyone, so it won't get you genuine reviews, seeding or a creator's audience. An AI presenter also can't honestly give a customer testimonial. If you need those things, use a marketplace below.

Pricing: $49/mo for 10 videos on Startup. See all plans.

2.Afluencer

Best for brands that liked posting a product and letting creators apply

This is the nearest thing to the old Tomoson flow. You post a collab, creators apply, and you choose who to accept. Its FAQ says brands can post and creators can apply for free.

The $49 Marketplace plan adds 60 invitation credits a month, but product send-outs and influencer payments are listed on the $649 Standard plan. That is a big jump if gifting is the whole point.

Pricing: Marketplace $49/mo, Standard $649/mo, Pro $1,049/mo.

3.Intellifluence

Best for one small review campaign to see if the channel works

You can post a campaign and take applications, or pitch influencers yourself. The site lists 268K influencers who signed up to work with brands, plus 28K flat-rate offers you can buy.

The free plan caps you at one campaign, five applications and five pitches per campaign. That is a test. It will not fill a launch.

Pricing: Free, Starter $99/mo, Regular $249/mo, Advanced $599/mo (fully managed). Annual billing saves 20%.

4.BrandBacker

Best for brands that want reviews on their own product pages

BrandBacker claims 50,000+ influencers and creators across reviews, videos, social campaigns and giveaways. Its Showcases feature puts that content on your site, which most marketplaces here do not offer.

We could not find a brand price on the site, so budget for a sales conversation.

Pricing: No public price.

5.GRIN

Best for a gifting program you expect to grow into paid and affiliate work

GRIN is creator management software with a marketplace attached. Gifting, paid partnerships, affiliate and UGC campaigns are on every plan, and its AI agent finds creators and drafts outreach for you to approve.

The free plan stops at 10 gifts in total. A management fee sits on top of every wallet deposit, and the Starter trial rolls into $200 a month unless you switch first.

Pricing: Free plus 20%, Starter $200/mo plus 10%, Growth $500/mo plus 7%, Scale $1,500/mo plus 5%.

6.Collabstr

Best for one-off paid posts where you want the price up front

Creators list packages with their own prices, so you know the cost before you message anyone. Payment sits in escrow until you approve the work.

This is a paid marketplace, so it fits a product-for-review swap less well. Posting a campaign takes the Pro plan, and the 10% hiring fee stays until Premium cuts it to 5%.

Pricing: Free, Pro $249/mo, Premium $333/mo, Enterprise from $1,000/mo, all billed annually.

7.Insense

Best for seeding campaigns where you want ad-ready content back

Product seeding, UGC, TikTok Spark Ads and Meta Partnership Ads all live in one marketplace. Insense says product seeding can run with no creator fee, and UGC campaigns start at $100 per video.

The entry cost is steep. The one-month trial starts from $650, then upgrades to the Brand plan unless you cancel at least 48 hours before it ends. Marketplace fees of 7% to 20% are extra.

Pricing: Trial from $650/mo, Brand from $500/mo and Agency from $800/mo, billed quarterly.

§ for bloggers and creators

Sites like Tomoson for bloggers

Most people searching for a Tomoson replacement are reviewers looking for their next free product. These sites still trade products or paid work for content.

Influenster

The easy one. Tell the app what you like, review products you already use, and it may invite you to a VoxBox of free samples. It says it has 7 million members. The trade-off is control: Influenster picks the products, and you cannot apply for a specific one.

Afluencer

Build a profile and apply to brand collabs for free, which is the workflow former Tomoson reviewers will recognize. Premium plans add more applications.

Intellifluence

Free to join as an influencer. You can apply to campaigns or list your own flat-rate offers, so it works for paid jobs as well as product. Brands on the free plan only take five applicants, so small campaigns can close quickly.

BrandBacker

Closest in format to Tomoson's review campaigns, with articles, videos and social posts all in scope. We could not confirm its creator terms from public pages, so read them before you sign up.

GRIN

Creators apply to brand programs through its marketplace. GRIN says it takes nothing from creator earnings. Your options depend on which brands list a public program.

Collabstr

Set your own package prices and let brands buy them. There is no up-front cost, and Collabstr takes a 15% fee on each sale. Pick this one for paid work, since free-product swaps are not what it is built for.

Before you apply

Never pay to receive a "free" product. Disclose every gifted or paid post, as the FTC explains in its guide for social media influencers. And check a store's review policy before you trade a product for a review there, because many retailers restrict it.

§ how to choose

Which Tomoson alternative should you use?

  • You want the same workflow: Afluencer, or Intellifluence if you only need one small campaign.
  • You want a free product as a reviewer: Influenster, then apply on Afluencer and Intellifluence.
  • You run gifting every month: GRIN, once you're happy with a fee on what you fund.
  • You want one paid post at a known price: Collabstr.
  • You want real creators in your ads: Insense handles seeding and partnership ads, and our UGC creator guide covers the workflow.
  • You want ad variants this week: EzUGC. Our UGC cost calculator shows what the volume would cost with creators.

  • Not as a marketplace. The homepage now describes an article site. The old pricing and campaign pages still load, but every Apply button we checked links to a login URL that redirects back to the homepage.
