Quick answer: nine apps and platforms are live for Indian creators today, checked on 19 October 2026: Meta Creator Marketplace inside Instagram (free, needs 1,000 followers and a professional account), InfluencerMetric (free to join, iPhone and web), Kofluence, Viral Pitch, OPA, Infloso and Collabzi (free campaign apps on both stores), Collabstr (no upfront cost, 15% fee on each sale, pays in dollars) and Wishlink (commission on sales, paid monthly). Flytant is also live but its App Store listing shows paid plans from ₹99 a month. None of the free ones should ever ask you for money to join.
"Brand collaboration app" is what Indian creators type when the DMs stay quiet. Every app below was found on the Indian App Store or Google Play on 19 October 2026, or on the company's own live site. Cost and payout facts come from the app's own listing or FAQ; where a listing says nothing about a fee, we say so.

Meta Creator Marketplace (inside Instagram)
Instagram's own brand collaboration feature, so start here. Meta announced in February 2024 that it was inviting creators and brands in India. The help centre lists four conditions: at least 18 years old, a professional public account, "a minimum of 1,000 followers" and agreeing to the Partner Monetisation Policies.
To join: open your profile, tap Professional dashboard, then Branded content, then Join creator marketplace. If the option is missing, Instagram says the feature "may not be available to you yet." Once in, brands can see your content, your average reach and follower count, and message you in a separate Partnership messages folder. Instagram's pages cover discovery and messaging only, so the price and the payment are agreed between you and the brand. Check our Instagram collaboration rates before you reply, and label the post afterwards as the disclosure rules require.
InfluencerMetric
Our own marketplace. Brands find and book creators; creators connect Instagram or YouTube so the numbers brands see come from the platform itself, not from a screenshot. The brand pays when it books and the money is held until the brand approves the work, which is the part most creators have been burned on. Joining is free. The iPhone app went live on the App Store in August 2026, free; the website does the same job on Android, where a native app is still in development.
For pricing: counted on 12 October 2026, creators had 173 live packages from 72 creators, median ₹2,500, middle half ₹1,000 to ₹5,000. Reels sit at a median of ₹2,500, Stories ₹1,300, UGC videos ₹5,000. Listed prices, not settled invoices.
List your first package in ten minutes. Connect Instagram or YouTube, set a price per Reel, Story or UGC video, and let brands book you with payment held until you deliver.
Create my free profileKofluence Influencer Platform
A creator app from Kofluence, which calls itself an influencer marketing agency with a 750K+ creator network. On the App Store since 2019, 500K+ installs on Play. You opt in to campaigns through your Instagram and Facebook accounts, submit content in the app, and the listing promises "swift payments" and "No cost for downloading and setting up." Brands do not use this app; you see campaigns the agency has already sold.
Viral Pitch
A self serve platform with a creator app on both stores and a separate brand app on Play. The creator listing says "100% Free to Download & Use", campaigns from over 100 brands, and three deal types: paid, barter, and product sampling or review. Payment is "instant payments after campaign completion". It is pitched at "Nano, Micro, Macro & Mega Influencers", so no stated follower floor.
OPA
Listed as "OPA: Try Free Products" on iOS and "OPA: Get Brand Collabs" on Play, with 500K+ installs and almost 3,000 Indian App Store ratings. The model is mostly barter: a brand sends a product, you complete a task such as a short survey or a social post, and you "Collect payment on the OPA app". Every deal shows its terms before you accept. OPA's own site pitches brands on nano and micro influencers, and its published brand fee is per influencer, so the deals are built for small accounts. If most offers are products, read how to value a barter deal first.
Infloso
Listed on Play as Infloso (Paid & Barter Collab), 100K+ installs, and on the Indian App Store with 700+ ratings. The listing says it is "free and no minimum followers required", and you link a social account before applying. The company site claims 2.2 million creators, 5,000 brands and ₹20 crore paid out; those are its own numbers.
Flytant and Collabzi
Flytant is one app for both sides: brands create sponsorship campaigns and search creators, creators build a profile and apply. It has 1M+ installs on Play and the Play listing shows ads. It is the one app here whose App Store listing shows paid plans: Basic one month ₹99, Standard ₹199, Advance ₹299, Premium ₹399, with three month plans up to ₹1,149. The listing does not say what the plans include, so read the terms in the app before paying anything.
Collabzi is a newer app from the same iOS developer, launched in April 2026 with 50K+ installs. It pays creators per click on brand links across Instagram, YouTube and Facebook and states "No minimum followers required". Performance model: no clicks, no money.
Collabstr
A global marketplace where you list packages at a fixed price and brands buy them, with India on its supported countries list. Its FAQ is clear: "There is no up-front cost. We take a 15% transaction fee when you make a sale." Payment is collected from the buyer and held "until the order is complete", then paid out through Dots with options such as PayPal. Prices are in US dollars and the platform verifies identity and audits for fake followers before listing.
Wishlink Creator
An affiliate app rather than a campaign app, and at 1M+ installs it is where many fashion and beauty creators actually earn. You share product links from 250+ brands, including automatic DM replies to "link please" comments, and earn a commission on sales. The FAQ says payouts include commissions confirmed by the brand that month and are "processed on the last day of the month".
Brand side platforms you cannot apply to
Qoruz, Pulpkey and Chtrbox come up in the same searches but have no creator app. Qoruz is discovery and reporting software for brands and agencies; Pulpkey and Chtrbox are agencies, and Chtrbox manages a roster. Hobo.Video is an agency with a web form to register as an influencer. Brands can read our Qoruz alternative page; UGC marketplaces are covered in best UGC platforms in India.
Apps we could not confirm
Plixxo's site returned an empty page and we found no app in either store. Winkl, Trell and Mojo returned only unrelated apps of the same name. Fueler is a portfolio site, not a place brands post deals. There is no Chtrbox creator app.
How to get picked on any of them
Every app above ranks creators on the same three things: a clear profile, real numbers and a price the brand can act on.
- Finish the profile. Niche, city, platforms, a bio that says what you make and for whom. Step by step in how to make a perfect influencer profile.
- Show numbers brands can trust. Connect the account where the app allows it. Where it does not, keep a media kit ready, with your engagement rate from the engagement rate calculator.
- Price before you apply. Use the creator pricing calculator and the medians above so you are not the cheapest applicant by accident.
- Know the deal type. Paid, barter, affiliate, ambassador and UGC pay differently. Brand collaboration meaning explains each and has the checklist for spotting a fake offer; run it on every DM.
- Pitch outside the apps too. The scripts for approaching brands work in Partnership messages as well as email.
Five line bio template
Paste into any app's bio field and replace the brackets:
- [Niche] creator in [city], posting in [language]
- [Follower count] on [platform], [engagement rate]% engagement
- I make [Reels, UGC videos, reviews] for [type of brand]
- Worked with [one or two brand names, or "open to first collaborations"]
- Reels from ₹[price], UGC from ₹[price], usage rights extra
Get booked with your numbers verified. Brands on InfluencerMetric see your real Instagram and YouTube stats and pay into escrow before you start.

Which brand collaboration app is free in India?
Meta Creator Marketplace, InfluencerMetric, Kofluence, Viral Pitch, OPA, Infloso and Collabzi all state no cost to creators in their listings. Collabstr charges 15% of each sale but nothing upfront. Flytant's App Store listing shows paid plans.
How many followers do I need for brand collaborations?
Instagram's marketplace requires 1,000. Infloso and Collabzi state no minimum. OPA is built around nano and micro accounts. On our marketplace, creators under 10,000 followers list Reels at a median of ₹2,000.
Should I pay to join a collaboration app?
Every free app above is paid by the brand. A registration fee, deposit or "buy the product first" request is the most common scam pattern; the checklist is in our brand collaboration meaning guide.
