Modash alternatives: find creators and have them emailed for you

This page describes Modash from its own website as of October 2026, and links each statement to the page it came from. Features change, so check those pages before you decide. Nakodo isn't affiliated with Modash. Product names belong to their owners.

Modash's homepage calls it "Shopify-first" and says it is built "to find creators, manage partnerships, track performance, and pay creators from one place". Its site describes these parts:

Discover

Search across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube in your own words or with filters, with followers' age, gender and location, lookalikes, and the brands a creator has worked with.

Email

An inbox that syncs with Gmail or Outlook, with bulk email and sequences that stop when a creator replies.

Manage

A shared record of every creator with statuses, notes and conversation history.

Track

Automatic collection of creators' posts, and sales attributed through Shopify codes and links.

Pay

Payments to creators in their local currency, with invoices collected for you.

Shopify

An integration for discount codes, product gifts ordered through one link, and affiliate commissions.

Modash publishes its prices on its pricing page.

The Modash column comes from the linked pages on Modash's site. The Nakodo column is how Nakodo works today; the full method is on how Nakodo works.

Both start from addresses creators chose to publish. Modash's discovery page says it only shows emails creators have intentionally listed in their bios, and doesn't access emails behind logins, paywalls or CAPTCHAs. Nakodo also reads only what creators publish for business. What differs is what happens next.

With Modash, the address comes to you. You write from your own inbox and the conversation sits in Modash's creator record with your notes. That suits a team running creator partnerships as a standing channel, under its own name from the first email.

With Nakodo, the address stays with Nakodo until the creator agrees to talk. Each first email says where Nakodo found the address, such as "in your Instagram bio". If the creator says yes, Nakodo sends one introduction in the same thread with you in Cc, then steps out. Opted-out and bounced addresses are never emailed through Nakodo again, and a creator who declined you isn't contacted on your behalf for 180 days.

The trade-off is real. Nakodo gives you less: no list of addresses and nothing to export. In return you never hold contact details for creators who didn't want to hear from you, and sending, follow-ups and opt-outs are Nakodo's job.

If you want any of these, Modash's site describes them and Nakodo doesn't do them:

• You want to browse and filter creators yourself, by audience age, gender or location, or by lookalikes of a creator who worked well.
• You want creators' published addresses in your own hands, and to write from your own inbox.
• You sell on Shopify and want discount codes, gifting and affiliate commissions next to your creator list.
• You need to pay creators, collect invoices, and track posts and sales once a deal is agreed.
• Several people on your team work with the same creators and need one shared record.

• You'd rather describe your brand once than build searches. Nakodo reads your homepage and up to 5 key pages and writes the brief for you to edit.
• You want each creator scored against that brief with written reasons. Creators scoring 55 or more count as a fit, and a score means the same thing in every campaign.
• You want the emailing done for you: sent in the creator's working hours, followed up on a fixed rhythm, paused for out-of-office replies and stopped when they answer.
• You'd rather not handle creators' addresses at all, and only meet the ones who said yes.
• Your hard part is starting conversations, and you'll handle the deal, payment and tracking yourself. Our page for Shopify stores covers the codes and reports you'd use alongside Nakodo.

What each Nakodo plan includes is on the pricing page.
