Perkifi is an AI-powered social media intelligence platform. It gives brands, creators, and talent managers access to the same deep analytics, influencer risk scoring, brand safety monitoring, and trend discovery tools that were once locked behind six-figure enterprise contracts — delivered in minutes, not weeks. Perkifi uses a multi-agent AI architecture where each agent is purpose-built for a specific intelligence task.

Perkifi is purpose-built for three audiences: (1) Brand marketing teams and managers who need to vet influencers, monitor brand safety, and understand cross-platform performance before signing deals. (2) Independent creators and influencers who want to understand their own risk profile, find brand partnerships, and price their services accurately. (3) Talent agencies and management firms that need a single platform to run analysis across their entire roster.

Most influencer tools are discovery databases — they help you find creators but give you very little intelligence about them. Perkifi is an intelligence platform first. Instead of browsing a catalogue, you get AI-generated reports covering risk scores, brand safety analysis, cross-platform performance benchmarks, audience authenticity, and viral trend opportunities — all in a single run. It's the difference between a contact list and a full due-diligence briefing.

Perkifi analyzes content and performance across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), and Facebook. The Omnichannel Intelligence agent synthesizes data across all active platforms for a given creator or brand, so you get a unified picture rather than siloed, platform-by-platform reports.

The Influencer Risk agent runs a multi-dimensional audit on any creator's public profile. It evaluates follower authenticity (detecting purchased followers, bot activity, and engagement pods), content history (scanning for policy violations, controversial statements, and brand conflicts), engagement quality (distinguishing genuine audience interactions from manufactured ones), and audience demographics. The result is a risk score from 0–100, with a detailed breakdown of each signal. A score above 90 indicates an exceptionally brand-safe creator.

A brand safety score reflects how safe it is for a brand to publicly associate with a given creator or content body. Perkifi's Brand Safety agent analyzes recent and historical content for hate speech, misinformation, adult content, controversial political statements, competitor associations, and FTC/ASA disclosure compliance. The score is weighted by recency — a single old controversy affects the score less than a recent pattern of risky behaviour.

Most agent runs complete in under five minutes. A full cross-platform omnichannel audit — covering five platforms with performance benchmarks, risk scoring, and trend recommendations — typically delivers in 3–8 minutes depending on how many platforms the subject is active on. Compare that to the 2–4 weeks a traditional agency takes to compile the same analysis manually.

You can run Perkifi on any publicly visible creator or brand by entering their social handles. You're not limited to a pre-built database. If a creator is active on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any of the other supported platforms with a public profile, Perkifi can analyze them.

Yes — we have a Viral Trends agent and a Collaboration Matching agent currently in development. The Viral Trends agent will scan real-time content signals to surface trending formats, sounds, and topics 24-48 hours before they peak. The Collaboration Matching agent will help brands and creators find each other based on deep audience and content alignment. Both are coming soon and will be available to all existing subscribers at launch.

A UGC (user-generated content) creator produces authentic, ad-ready content for brands — but does not necessarily post it to their own audience. They are paid for the content itself, not the reach. Traditional influencers are paid primarily for audience access. UGC creators are typically more affordable, faster to brief, and produce content that performs exceptionally well in paid social placements (Meta ads, TikTok Spark Ads) because it looks and feels organic rather than polished and branded.

Yes. You can run any UGC creator's handle through the Influencer Risk and Brand Safety agents to verify content quality, flag red flags before contracting, and confirm audience authenticity (even if you're not activating their audience directly). The Omnichannel agent also identifies which platforms a UGC creator performs best on — useful for deciding which platform's ad format to brief them against.

UGC pricing varies by deliverable type, usage rights, and creator experience. As a benchmark: a single UGC video (15–60 seconds, no posting rights) typically ranges from $75–$300. Packages of 3–5 videos run $200–$800. If you add posting rights or whitelisting permissions, expect to pay 30–80% more. Perkifi's Omnichannel agent generates a pricing benchmark specific to a creator's niche, platform mix, and engagement tier — giving you a data-backed starting point for negotiation.

Influencer marketing rents an audience — you pay for the creator's followers to see your message. UGC marketing buys content assets — you pay for video or photo content that your brand then distributes through its own paid channels. The two strategies work best in combination: influencers for awareness and social proof, UGC for conversion-optimized paid ad creative. Many brands run both simultaneously, using the same creator pool for both purposes.

Yes. Perkifi offers a free trial that includes your first agent run at no cost — no credit card required. The trial lets you experience a full AI-generated intelligence report before committing to a paid plan. When the trial ends, you can choose the plan that fits your usage needs.

Yes. Perkifi subscriptions are month-to-month by default and can be cancelled at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. If you're on an annual plan, your access continues until the period ends. We don't charge cancellation fees.

Yes. The Talent Manager plan is built for agencies and management firms that need to run analysis across an entire roster. It includes full access to all three agents, per-client result history, and bulk analysis capability — so you can run multiple creators in sequence without switching contexts. Contact us at support@perkifi.com for custom enterprise pricing if you manage 50+ clients.

Perkifi pulls from publicly available social media data via platform APIs and licensed data sources. We do not access private accounts, direct messages, or any data that is not publicly visible. For a full breakdown of how we collect and use data, see our Privacy Policy.

Perkifi's reports reflect publicly available data at the time of the run. Engagement metrics, follower counts, and risk signals are as accurate as the underlying platform data allows. We recommend treating all AI-generated reports as intelligence briefings — strong signals to guide decisions — rather than audited financial data. Where exact figures matter (e.g., for a contract), verify critical numbers directly with the creator or platform.

All account data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest. We do not sell your data or your clients' data to third parties. Agent run history is stored securely and accessible only to your account. For full details, see our Privacy Policy at perkifi.com/privacy.
