FAQ
- Can Starcovery replace HypeAuditor for fraud audits?
Not as like-for-like analytics suite. If fraud-grade audience auditing is what you need, buy a specialist. If job is campaign, Starcovery runs it: evidence-backed matching, hiring, funding, measurement, and payout in one agentic flow.
- Do you publish fake-follower scores?
No. Starcovery matches creators on real audiences, backs every match with proof clips and fit context, so you hire with evidence. Hiring tool, not fraud-reporting dashboard.
- How do agents start?
One prompt. Agent reads auth.md, registers, searches with no human in loop. Agents page has full setup; MCP how-to and CLI quickstart cover both surfaces.
- Where is Starcovery pricing?
On pricing page, in full. Free every day, then prepaid packs from $25 at $0.05/search, no seats, no demo call. HypeAuditor does not publish plan prices; expect demo call before seeing a number (hypeauditor.com, August 2026).
