GRIN review

GRIN has moved to self-serve pricing, which makes it far easier to evaluate than most platforms in this category. The Free plan allows two live campaigns and 10 gifts in total, and Starter at $200 per month removes the campaign cap, allows 100 gifts a month and lets you export creator lists and contact emails. Every plan includes Gia, an AI agent that plans a program from a plain language request, finds matching creators, drafts outreach and shows you the plan before it runs. Every plan also includes the creator marketplace, all campaign types from gifting to affiliate commissions, unlimited CRM contacts, automatic content tracking and an escrow wallet that pays creators through Stripe. The catch is the management fee on wallet deposits: 20% on Free, 10% on Starter, 7% on Growth and 5% on Scale, so a brand funding $1,000 of creator fees on Starter pays $100 on top. For Shopify brands that want gifting, payouts and sales in one place, it is the most complete option with a public price.
