Kleos

Kleos is an influencer marketing platform for product gifting, paid partnerships and creator content campaigns. Its CRM brings creator contacts, notes, tags, conversations and campaign records together; free-plan users can keep unlimited creator records. Teams can discover creators, manage campaigns, track performance and make creator payments. The platform also offers Amplify, which rewards creators for qualified short-form video views. Kleos connects with Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta, TikTok and Stripe, and accepts CSV, Klaviyo and HubSpot imports. It ties gifted units, paid posts and Amplify clips to Shopify orders through codes, links and UTMs. A connection for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and compatible agents is included with every workspace, and agents wait for human approval before consequential actions. Paid Partnerships and Amplify are in beta and open workspace by workspace. The free plan is listed at €0 per month forever. Starter costs €499/mo and Scale costs €899/mo; the pricing note also lists a 14-day trial. The free plan supports three team seats? No: team seat counts are listed as 3 for Starter and 10 for Scale.

Kleos combines creator records, campaign workflows and order attribution, with a free CRM tier and paid plans that specify lead and seat limits. Teams considering the beta campaign features should note that access is opened workspace by workspace.

Kleos may suit teams coordinating creator relationships and gifting or paid campaigns, especially those connecting campaign activity with Shopify orders. The free CRM can suit users who need to maintain creator records before moving to paid lead allowances.

Kleos is a creator-marketing workspace that brings roster records and campaign activity together. It suits brands coordinating gifting or paid partnerships with a Shopify store; its strongest case is linking creator activity to orders, while paid campaign features remain in beta.

Overview

Kleos combines creator contacts, notes, tags, conversation history and campaign records in a CRM. Unlimited creator records on the free plan make it useful for maintaining a roster before paying, but that does not mean the free tier offers unlimited campaign-ready contacts: paid plans set monthly contactable-lead quotas.

The campaign mix includes product gifting, paid partnerships and Amplify, which rewards creators for qualified short-form video views. Paid Partnerships and Amplify are in beta and enabled workspace by workspace. Teams that need either as a core workflow should confirm access rather than assume it comes with signup.

Key features

Roster, campaigns and attribution

Kleos supports creator discovery, campaign management, performance analytics and creator payments. Imports from CSV, Klaviyo and HubSpot help teams bring an existing roster into the CRM. Its connections include Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta, TikTok and Stripe, giving it a broader operating footprint than a contact database alone.

Kleos ties paid posts, gifted units and Amplify clips to Shopify orders through codes, links and UTMs. That makes it more relevant to brands that need to associate creator activity with ecommerce revenue than to teams seeking only a creator directory. Shopify sync and revenue attribution are included on Starter; the Free plan's feature list does not include them.

AI agents and safeguards

The MCP connection works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other compatible agents at no extra cost. An agent must wait for human approval before spending credits, launching campaigns or taking other consequential actions, a useful check for teams automating operational work. Kleos says its privacy protections include encryption in transit, access controls and audit logging; customers own their roster and can export data at any time.

Pricing

The Free plan costs €0 per month forever. It includes unlimited creator records, notes, tags, full history, CSV, Klaviyo and HubSpot imports, and iPhone and Android apps. It is a sensible starting point for roster management, but not a substitute for paid contactable-lead capacity or the paid plan's stated Shopify attribution.

Starter costs €499/ mo with monthly billing; annual billing gives 2 months free. It allows 500 contactable leads per month and 3 team seats, and includes Shopify sync, revenue attribution and email support. This is the clearest fit for a small team that wants to connect creator campaigns to store sales, provided its monthly lead volume stays within the cap.

Scale costs €899/ mo, also with monthly billing and 2 months free on annual billing. The quota rises to 1,500 contactable leads per month and 10 seats, with priority support. It suits a larger team or roster than Starter accommodates, though the higher allowance still has a firm monthly ceiling.

Full Suite has custom pricing and includes 10,000 sourcing credits per month. Creator has no subscription and charges 3% on payments via Kleos; the first 1,000 founding creators pay 2% for life. A 14-day trial is offered. The listed monthly and annual billing terms matter for budgeting, particularly because the annual discount is expressed as two free months rather than a separate annual price.

Platforms

Kleos is available on web, iOS and Android, and also offers an API. The mobile apps are included even on the free roster-management tier, while API access gives teams another platform surface without changing the stated plan limits.

Who it's for

Kleos is a strong candidate for ecommerce brands that already track creator relationships and want gifting, paid campaigns and Shopify order attribution in one workspace. The free plan also fits teams building a roster before they need paid contactable-lead capacity. It is less suitable when a team cannot operate without Paid Partnerships or Amplify, because both are beta features opened selectively, or when its lead needs exceed the paid plan caps.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited creator records on Free lower the barrier to building a roster without a subscription.
• Pros: Starter connects creator activity to Shopify orders, supporting revenue attribution rather than campaign tracking alone.
• Pros: The MCP agent requires human approval for consequential actions, and its connection carries no extra charge.
• Pros: Customers can export their roster at any time, which reduces the risk of keeping creator data locked in the workspace.
• Cons: Starter's €499/ mo price comes with only 500 contactable leads per month and 3 seats, limiting its fit for larger teams.
• Cons: Paid Partnerships and Amplify are beta and enabled workspace by workspace, so they are not dependable core requirements for every buyer.
• Cons: The Free plan focuses on CRM and imports; teams wanting the listed Shopify sync and attribution must move to Starter.

Alternatives

Influencer Marketing Platforms is a useful category starting point for comparing options beyond Kleos.

Choose GRIN if a free option with 200 monthly credits better matches your starting needs; its Starter plan is priced at $200 a month. Billo is a better fit for buyers focused on creator video ads, with a free tier offering 8 AI scripts and 3 AI mashup credits monthly and video content priced from $99 per video. TikTok One is a free alternative for teams that want a no-cost option across Android, API, iOS and web.

REACH is another freemium influencer-marketing option, with a plan centered on affiliate opportunities, fast payments, campaign dashboards, content submissions and direct messaging. JoinBrands offers a free pay-as-you-go plan with a 15% platform fee, which may suit teams preferring that fee structure to Kleos's monthly seat-and-lead plans. Intellifluence has a free plan for testing influencer marketing with flat-rate influencer services, making it a possible starting point for a narrowly scoped trial.

Meltwater Influencer Marketing is a paid option for small communications and marketing teams, startups and scale-ups with limited in-house analytics. LTK may suit a brand working within a defined creator and spend allowance: its Launch plan is $99 a month for 10 creators per month, $25,000 annual collaboration spend, 1 user seat and 1 promoted brand.

Verdict

Choose Kleos if your team needs a creator CRM that can connect Shopify orders to paid posts, gifted products and campaign clips, and the Free plan's roster tools or paid lead limits fit your scale. Its distinctive advantage is tying creator activity to ecommerce attribution while keeping roster ownership and export in customer hands. Look elsewhere if beta access to Paid Partnerships or Amplify is essential, or if the €499/ mo Starter entry point and its 500-lead, 3-seat cap do not match your operating needs.
