Overview
GRIN is a creator management platform aimed at direct-to-consumer and e-commerce brands. The company says it has worked with 5,000 brands since 2017, supports more than 700,000 creators and has driven more than US$1.2 billion in creator-driven gross merchandise value, with creators earning over US$215 million[8]. Named customers on its pricing page include SKIMS, ColourPop, Vera Bradley, IPSY and ILIA[7].
Unlike most enterprise vendors, GRIN publishes its pricing. All plans include its Gia AI agent, a creator marketplace, every campaign type (gifting, paid partnerships, affiliate and UGC), an escrow wallet for payouts, an unlimited CRM, Shopify integration and content tracking[7]. Plans differ mainly by limits on gifts and creator searches and by the management fee charged on wallet deposits, which falls from 20% on the free plan to 5% on Scale[7]. Self-serve plans run month to month; Enterprise is an annual agreement[7].
The fee model matters: the management fee is added to each wallet deposit and is not refunded on withdrawal, and paid partnership or affiliate campaigns need at least US$250 in the wallet[7]. GRIN does not state its headquarters or founding year on the pages reviewed.
