Stellar is a web-based influencer marketing platform focused on creator discovery, campaign management, and social listening for Instagram and TikTok. It offers a 50M+ influencer catalogue, project management tools, and tiered pricing based on influencer count and selected modules. Archive takes a fundamentally different approach: it's an AI-first platform that automatically captures and understands short-form video content across TikTok, Instagram (feed, reels, stories), and YouTube. While Stellar requires manual creator searches and relies on text-based filters, Archive's AI ingests, transcribes, and vectorizes video to surface creators and UGC through semantic search, sentiment analysis, and visual recognition. Stellar excels at structured campaign workflows and influencer relationship management; Archive excels at turning unstructured social data into actionable intelligence. For teams prioritizing creator discovery and vetting, Stellar offers a traditional SaaS experience with modular pricing. For teams drowning in manual content monitoring and needing AI-powered insights, Archive automates the entire listening-to-activation pipeline.
Stellar's strengths include a large influencer database (50M+ profiles), modular pricing that lets teams pay only for needed features (Influencers, Projects, Reports, Discovery modules), and structured campaign management with automated content monitoring across posts, stories, and videos. The platform integrates with Shopify and WooCommerce for sales tracking and promo code attribution. Stellar also offers tiered service packs (Trusted Advisor and Strategic Partner) with dedicated account managers and strategists for teams wanting hands-on support. The Chrome extension for one-click creator saving is convenient for quick prospecting. For brands already comfortable with manual creator research and spreadsheet-based workflows, Stellar provides a familiar, modular interface that centralizes influencer data and campaign tracking in one place.
Stellar requires manual creator searches through text-based filters, meaning teams must know what they're looking for before they search—it can't surface creators based on visual aesthetics, content themes, or audience sentiment the way AI-powered platforms can. Social listening is limited to Instagram and TikTok, missing YouTube and emerging platforms. The platform doesn't automatically capture Stories before they disappear, so time-sensitive content is lost. Sentiment analysis exists but isn't integrated into creator vetting workflows, forcing teams to manually assess brand safety risk. Pricing scales with influencer count, which penalizes brands managing large creator networks or running frequent tests. There's no native outreach or direct messaging capability, so teams must coordinate communications outside the platform. Most critically, Stellar doesn't solve the core pain point: teams still spend hours manually downloading, organizing, and analyzing UGC. Archive's AI-powered search, automatic Story capture, and semantic video understanding eliminate these manual steps entirely, letting teams find specific content in seconds rather than hours and make vetting decisions based on actual performance data and brand safety signals, not guesswork.
