Collabstr is one of the best-known creator marketplaces in the world. But if your customers are in Sri Lanka, the question is not which platform is biggest — it is which one has the creators your customers actually watch, at prices that fit a rupee budget. That is where Influ.com.lk wins.

At a glance

Local depth beats global size

A huge creator database only helps if the right creators are in it. Search a global platform for food creators in Galle or tech reviewers who post in Sinhala and you will find a handful of scattered profiles at best. On Influ.com.lk every creator is Sri Lankan, and you can filter by category, city, platform and price — so the results page is a shortlist, not a haystack.

That matters most for the brands that benefit most from creators: a restaurant, salon, gym or shop that sells in one or two cities. For them, three creators whose followers live nearby are worth more than any number of creators abroad.

Rupees, not dollars

Collabstr prices in US dollars with a stated $50 minimum per creator. At today’s exchange rates that minimum alone costs many times Influ’s smallest package — before card conversion charges. On Influ.com.lk rate cards start at LKR 1,000, the 12% fee is in rupees, refunds come back in rupees, and the total you see while planning is the total you pay.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• Sri Lankan creators only, across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
• Public rupee rate cards per platform, from LKR 1,000.
• A swarm cart that books several creators with one brief and one payment.
• Payment held until a person checks each post is live and matches your brief.
• Automatic refunds, fee included, when a creator declines, does not answer or misses the deadline.
• Verified stats from creators who connect their accounts, and an analytics tab for signed-in brands.

Why local creators list their best prices here

A marketplace is only as good as the creators on it, and creators go where getting paid is simple. On Influ.com.lk Sri Lankan creators keep 100% of the price they set — the brand’s 12% fee is added on top — and their earnings land in a rupee wallet they withdraw to a local bank account, usually within three business days. No foreign payout accounts, no currency conversion on their side either. That is why local creators list here with rates that make sense for local brands, and why a Sri Lankan search returns people who actually answer.

About Collabstr

Collabstr is a global, Fiverr-style creator marketplace. Brands browse creator profiles, agree the scope and pay through the platform, which holds funds until the work is delivered. It charges brands a commission reported at around 10%, lower on paid subscription tiers, and its large creator base is concentrated outside Sri Lanka — which makes it a natural fit for campaigns aimed at audiences abroad.

Start with a swarm

If your customers are in Sri Lanka, start where the Sri Lankan creators are. Build a swarm on Influ.com.lk, send one brief, and pay only for the creators who accept — with every post checked before anyone is paid.

If you are comparing Sri Lankan influencer platforms, you have probably narrowed it to two: Influ.com.lk and fluencr.io. Both are local, both work in rupees, and both connect brands with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook creators. The difference is in how a campaign actually runs — and for most Sri Lankan brands, Influ’s way is faster, clearer and easier to control.

At a glance

The swarm: why Influ is built differently

Most Sri Lankan campaigns do not need one big name. They need several trusted local voices, posting in the same week, in the cities where the brand sells. Influ.com.lk is designed around that idea. You filter creators by category, city, platform and price, add the ones you like to a swarm cart, write one brief, and pay once. Each creator answers within 72 hours, and you see who has accepted in real time.

That changes the maths of a campaign. Instead of betting a whole budget on one creator and hoping their audience responds, you spread it across several smaller, well-matched audiences — and learn which creators actually drive results for your brand.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• Every price upfront. Each creator publishes a rate card per platform in rupees, starting at LKR 1,000. No “DM for rates”, no negotiation to find out what something costs.
• One simple fee. A flat 12% on top of the creator’s price, shown at checkout. No subscription, no managed tier to upgrade into.
• Payment held until the post is checked. A person on our team confirms each post is live and matches your brief before the creator is paid.
• Automatic refunds. If a creator declines, does not answer, or misses the deadline, that booking is refunded automatically — platform fee included.
• Verified numbers. Creators can connect YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook for verified stats, and signed-in brands can open a full analytics tab on each rate card.
• Speed when you need it. An accelerated campaign collects sealed bids in 24 hours and gets posts live within 48 hours of payment.

About fluencr.io

fluencr.io is a Sri Lanka-based creator marketplace. It offers a free self-serve option where brands find and contact creators themselves, and a managed “Specialist” tier where the platform’s team handles matching and campaign strategy for a commission. It suits a brand that specifically wants to hand the whole campaign to someone else.

For a brand that would rather choose its own creators, see prices before committing, and launch this week, Influ.com.lk removes the steps in between: the rate card is the price, the swarm cart is the booking, and the proof-of-post check is the guarantee.

Who Influ.com.lk is for

Restaurants, salons, gyms, shops, e-commerce brands and agencies that want local reach without a retainer. If you know roughly who your customers are and where they live, you can have a swarm of Sri Lankan creators briefed and booked in an afternoon — and pay only for the ones who accept.

Ainfluencer and Influ.com.lk share one good idea: a small brand should not have to pay a subscription just to try influencer marketing. After that, they part ways. Ainfluencer is a global marketplace; Influ.com.lk is built entirely around Sri Lanka — its creators, its currency and the platforms Sri Lankans actually use.

At a glance

Where Sri Lankans actually are

Instagram and TikTok matter, but in Sri Lanka they are only part of the picture. DataReportal’s Digital 2026 report puts Facebook’s local ad audience at around 9 million people and YouTube’s at around 8.8 million, against around 2.25 million for Instagram. Influ.com.lk covers all four platforms, so you can put a Facebook creator in Kurunegala and a TikTok creator in Colombo in the same swarm.

Built to scale past the first test

A free tool is a good way to try the channel. The harder part is what happens when the first campaign works and you want to do it again, bigger. On Influ.com.lk the swarm cart that books three creators books thirty; your campaigns, creators and reports stay in one account; and every creator’s on-time record and reviews are on their profile, so rebooking the best ones takes a minute.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• No subscription, ever. Pay the creator’s price plus a flat 12% fee, only when you book.
• Sri Lankan creators only, filterable by category, city, platform and price.
• Rupee rate cards from LKR 1,000, visible before you commit.
• Payment held until a person checks each post; automatic refunds, fee included.
• Verified stats from connected accounts, and an analytics tab on every rate card for signed-in brands.
• Accelerated campaigns when you need posts live within 48 hours.

Your first campaign in five steps

1. Filter. Open Browse creators and choose your category, city and platform.
2. Shortlist. Open a few rate cards, check each creator’s portfolio and, once signed in, their analytics tab.
3. Add to swarm. Pick three to five creators; the cart shows the exact total with the 12% fee.
4. Brief once. Describe the product, the key message and the posting date, then pay at checkout.
5. Watch it land. Creators answer within 72 hours, post, and submit proof, which our team checks before paying them.

That is the whole process. No plan to choose, no campaign listing to wait on, and nothing charged for creators who decline.

About Ainfluencer

Ainfluencer is a free, self-service marketplace where brands post campaigns and connect with Instagram and TikTok creators. It is aimed at startups trying influencer marketing without a sales call or annual contract, and its creator base is global rather than focused on any one country.

Start free, stay local

Create a brand account, build a small swarm and send your brief. You pay nothing until you check out, and nothing at all for creators who do not deliver. When the first campaign works, the same account, the same creators and the same checkout are ready for the next one — whether that is a weekend promotion in one town or an island-wide Avurudu push across all four platforms.

There are two ways to find creators for a campaign. You can post a listing and wait to see who applies, or you can pick the creators you want and book them. Afluencer is built around the first. Influ.com.lk is built around the second — and for a Sri Lankan brand that knows its customers, choosing directly is faster and far more certain.

At a glance

Certainty from the first click

With an open listing, the first question is who will apply — and you do not know the answer until the listing has been up for a while. With Influ.com.lk you already know. Filter for beauty creators in Colombo on TikTok under LKR 10,000, open their rate cards, look at their portfolios, and add the ones you like to your swarm. Every price is visible before you send a brief.

That matters most for local businesses. A café in Nugegoda needs creators whose followers live nearby, not whoever happened to see a listing. Choosing directly means your budget goes to exactly the audiences you want.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• Direct choice. Filter Sri Lankan creators by category, city, platform, price and verified stats.
• No monthly plan. Pay the creator’s price plus a flat 12% fee, only when you book.
• A swarm cart. One brief and one payment for every creator in the campaign.
• Answers within 72 hours, and automatic refunds for anyone who declines or misses the deadline.
• Proof checked by a person before any creator is paid.
• A three-tab rate card — packages, portfolio and analytics — for every creator.

When the job is bigger than a package

Choosing directly does not mean giving up flexibility. If your brief asks for more than a creator’s listed package — a longer video, extra Stories, the right to use their content in your own ads — the creator can answer with one custom offer at a different price, and you accept or decline it before anything is charged. And when you genuinely want creators to come to you, an accelerated campaign lets you post an urgent brief and receive sealed bids within 24 hours. You get the speed of an open call with the certainty of seeing every price before you pay.

About Afluencer

Afluencer is a marketplace where brands post open collaboration listings, called “Collabs”, with requirements, deadlines and compensation, and creators browse and apply. It is free for creators, with paid brand plans for full access, and profiles include a verified-creator system with reviews. It suits a brand that has no particular creators in mind and wants to see who comes forward.

Book who you actually want

Skip the waiting. Choose the Sri Lankan creators that fit your brand, send one brief, and pay only for the ones who accept — with every post checked before anyone is paid. There is no plan to cancel afterwards and nothing to pay in a quiet month.

Finding a creator is the easy part. The hard part is everything after: the first message, the back-and-forth about price, the brief, waiting for the post, and paying someone you have never met. Heepsy helps with the first step. Influ.com.lk does all of them.

At a glance

No cold messages, no guessing the price

With a discovery tool, every promising creator becomes a DM that may or may not get a reply, followed by a negotiation with no shared reference point. On Influ.com.lk the creator has already published their price per platform. You add them to your swarm, send one brief, and they have 72 hours to accept. The conversation starts with a yes or no, not a question.

Payment that protects you

Paying a creator directly by bank transfer leaves you exposed if the post never appears. On Influ.com.lk your money is held at checkout and released only after a person on our team checks the post is live and matches your brief. Creators who decline, do not answer or miss the deadline are refunded automatically — platform fee included.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• Free search across Sri Lankan creators by category, city, platform and price.
• Verified stats from creators who connect their accounts, in an analytics tab for signed-in brands.
• Public rate cards in rupees, from LKR 1,000.
• One brief, one checkout for the whole swarm.
• Proof of post checked by a person before anyone is paid.
• No subscription. A flat 12% fee, only when you book.

Numbers you can trust, with their source

Every creator on Influ.com.lk has a three-tab rate card: packages, portfolio and analytics. Creators who connect their YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook accounts show verified figures that refresh automatically, and carry a verified mark in search, where you can filter for verified stats only. Creators who prefer not to connect show the numbers they entered themselves, clearly labelled as creator-provided — so you always know where a number came from. The analytics tab opens for any signed-in account, which is free to create, and every profile has been checked by a person before it went live.

About Heepsy

Heepsy is a creator search and analytics tool with a large database, reported at tens of millions of profiles across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, including engagement data and audience-authenticity signals. It is discovery-first: there is no built-in campaign management, negotiation or payment, and higher plans unlock filters such as audience demographics. It suits a team that already has its own process for contracting and paying creators.

From search to paid post

If finding creators is only the start of your job, use a platform that finishes it. Browse Sri Lankan creators on Influ.com.lk, build a swarm, and let the platform handle the brief, the proof and the payment.

Aspire is one of the best-known influencer platforms for large consumer brands. It is also priced like one — a monthly subscription on an annual contract, plus onboarding. For a Sri Lankan business that wants to put its product in front of the right people this month, that is a year’s commitment before the first post goes live. Influ.com.lk gets you there with none of it.

At a glance

Pay for campaigns, not for software

Reported Aspire pricing adds up to more than $24,000 a year before a single creator is paid — more than many Sri Lankan businesses spend on all their marketing. On Influ.com.lk that money goes to creators instead. You pay each creator’s listed price plus a flat 12% fee, only when you book, and nothing at all in a quiet month.

It also means you can find out what works before you scale. Book five creators, see which ones drive results, rebook them and add more. The budget follows the results, not a contract signed a year earlier.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• No contract, no onboarding fee, no subscription.
• Sri Lankan creators across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
• Public rupee rate cards from LKR 1,000, visible before you commit.
• A swarm cart with one brief and one payment for the whole campaign.
• Payment held until a person checks each post; automatic refunds, fee included.
• Your roster over time: rebook proven creators, with on-time records and reviews on every profile.

Long-term creator relationships, without the software

The real value of an influencer programme is the handful of creators whose audiences keep buying from you. You do not need a relationship-management platform to find and keep them. On Influ.com.lk every campaign stays in your account with its report, so after two or three swarms you can see exactly which creators delivered. Rebook them with a few clicks, send them the same brief with a new date, and add a couple of new faces each time to keep testing. Creators’ profiles show their on-time record and reviews from other brands, so your roster grows on evidence rather than guesswork.

About Aspire

Aspire, formerly AspireIQ, is an influencer marketing platform that combines an inbound marketplace, where creators submit proposals to brands, with campaign management, analytics, a content library and workflow automation. It is aimed at established direct-to-consumer brands in categories such as fashion and beauty, and it does not charge a fee on payments made through the platform, alongside its subscription.

Start this week

Build a swarm of Sri Lankan creators, send one brief and pay at checkout. If it works, do it again. No contract, no demo, no onboarding call. Within a few campaigns you will have what an enterprise platform promises — a proven roster of creators and a clear picture of what they deliver — built from real results in your own market, and paid for one campaign at a time rather than a year in advance.

Grin is a powerful piece of software for large e-commerce brands that already run hundreds of creator relationships. It is also sold on annual contracts after a sales demo. For a Sri Lankan business that wants creators posting about its products this month, the thing it needs is not software to manage creators — it is the creators. That is what Influ.com.lk gives you.

At a glance

The creators, not the filing cabinet

Creator-management software organises relationships you already have. If you do not yet have a roster of creators, you are paying to manage an empty list. Influ.com.lk starts at the other end: the Sri Lankan creators are already there, each with a published price per platform. Filter by category, city and platform, add them to a swarm, send one brief and pay once.

Measure sales without an integration project

You do not need enterprise software to know which creators sell. Give each creator their own discount code or link in the brief, and compare redemptions in your store. Every Influ campaign also comes with a report of each post and its reported views, so you can see which creators to rebook — and which to replace.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• No contract, no demo, no seats, no subscription.
• Sri Lankan creators on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook, with public rupee prices.
• A swarm cart that books the whole campaign in one checkout.
• Payment held until a person checks each post; automatic refunds, fee included.
• Verified stats from connected accounts and an analytics tab on every rate card.
• Nothing to pay in a month when no campaign runs.

An online-shop campaign, step by step

Say you run an online store and want a push before Avurudu. Filter creators by your category and the platforms your customers use, and add eight of them to a swarm. In the brief, give each creator a personal discount code and the date to post — ideally the Friday before the peak weekend. Pay at checkout; each creator has 72 hours to accept, and anyone who declines is refunded automatically. When the posts go live, our team checks each one before the creator is paid. A week later your store’s code report shows which creators sold, and those are the ones you rebook for December.

About Grin

Grin is an all-in-one creator management platform for e-commerce brands running influencer programmes at scale: discovery across a large database, relationship management, product seeding, content tracking, affiliate and discount codes, and revenue reporting tied into stores such as Shopify and WooCommerce. It does not publish fixed pricing and is widely reported to require an annual contract, with no free trial.

Start with results

Build your first swarm of Sri Lankan creators today, pay only for the ones who accept, and let real sales — not a sales demo — decide what comes next. There is nothing to install and nothing to connect.

Upfluence is capable software for brands that run large influencer programmes with a team to operate it. But software does not post anything on its own. Someone still has to find the creators, message them, agree a price, send the brief and chase the post. On Influ.com.lk most of that work has already been done for you — the creators are listed, the prices are public, and the platform handles the rest.

At a glance

Booking instead of outreach

With software, better tools make outreach faster — but it is still outreach. Every creator is a message, a wait and a negotiation. On Influ.com.lk creators have already said what they charge on each platform. You add them to your swarm, send one brief, and each one has 72 hours to accept. The first reply you get is an answer, not a question.

No software to learn

Deep software pays off when someone uses it every week. For most Sri Lankan businesses, influencer marketing is one of many jobs for one or two people. Influ.com.lk is built so a business owner can run a campaign in an afternoon: filter, add to swarm, brief, pay. The platform tracks answers, collects proof, checks each post and pays creators.

What you get with Influ.com.lk

• No subscription. Pay each creator’s price plus a flat 12% fee, only when you book.
• Sri Lankan creators with public rupee rate cards, from LKR 1,000.
• One brief, one checkout for the whole swarm.
• Proof checked by a person before any creator is paid.
• Automatic refunds, fee included, for anything not delivered.
• Verified stats from connected accounts and a campaign report for every booking.

For agencies, too

Agencies running campaigns for Sri Lankan clients use Influ.com.lk the same way: shortlist creators for each client by city, niche and price, share the rate cards for approval, and book the chosen swarm in one checkout. Because every creator’s price is public and every post is checked before payment, there is no margin hidden in negotiation and no chasing creators for proof. The campaign report shows each post and its reported views, ready to go straight into a client update. The agency keeps the strategy and the client relationship; the platform handles the logistics.

About Upfluence

Upfluence is subscription-based influencer marketing software. It gives brands a large searchable creator database with AI-assisted matching, outreach and campaign management, and ties influencer activity to e-commerce sales, including personalised coupon tracking, with integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce and Klaviyo. It is aimed at mid-size and large brands running ongoing programmes with a team to operate it.
