# About Starcovery

Starcovery is an end-to-end vibe creator marketing product: from one brief it finds, hires, cross-posts, measures, and pays out real Instagram and TikTok creators.

## What Starcovery does

Starcovery runs a creator campaign from one brief, from search through hire to payout.

### Find creators

Describe the creators you want. Starcovery returns matching Instagram and TikTok creators from its catalog of public profiles.

### Campaigns

A campaign holds the brief, its matched creators, a Shortlist you edit, and the contract terms: deliverable, pay, creator posting date, and disclosure.

### Starcovery Proposals

Send Proposal delivers the campaign to the shortlisted creators. Each offer carries the terms, and the creator accepts or declines it.

### Starcovery Payouts

You fund the creators who accept. Each creator is paid after the post is live, and whatever is left is refunded.

### Creator pages

A creator claims a handle with one DM to the Starcovery account. Once the Starcovery team confirms it, the creator page shows their handles, numbers, latest posts, and a Hire button.

### Agent access

An agent registers itself and runs search and campaigns over MCP, the REST API, or the starcovery CLI, from the same credit balance as the web.

## What makes Starcovery different

How Starcovery compares with Modash and HypeAuditor. The comparison pages list each source.

### The campaign is the product

Modash sells a suite of dashboards, and HypeAuditor audits audiences. Starcovery runs the campaign: find, hire, cross-post, measure, and pay out, in one flow.

### Agents are first-class

An agent registers itself and works over MCP, the API, or the CLI. Neither Modash nor HypeAuditor publishes an MCP server.

### Free to start

Search is free every day with no account, no card, and no sales call. Modash starts with a 14-day trial and then paid seats, and HypeAuditor prices PRO and Enterprise on a demo call.

### Real creators

Every creator is a real person who posts from their own Instagram or TikTok account. Starcovery never generates creative content.
