PlutoBa

PlutoBa gives brands and agencies a creator intake link and scores incoming pitches before review. Its current product surface covers authenticity, engagement quality, comment authenticity, brand safety, audience geography, rate benchmarking and niche fit across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. It can also assess a creator found outside the intake flow by handle. ^{1 2}

The published scoring method is a meaningful transparency feature: PlutoBa says it works from observable public data, produces probabilities rather than certainty, does not claim an honestly measurable outside fake-follower percentage, limits audience demographics to geography/authenticity, and treats each vet as a point-in-time snapshot. ²

For brands, PlutoBa currently offers Free at $0, Starter at $69/month, Growth at $159/month and Scale at $299/month. Agency plans are $499 and $999/month. The free brand plan includes limited monthly pitch vets and assessments; paid tiers raise quotas and rollover. ³

PlutoBa also has a creator-facing Collabs surface: its current page advertises a free Basic tier for early creators and Pro at $89.99/year with a seven-day trial. ⁴ These creator features are adjacent to the brand vetting workflow rather than independent evidence that vetting scores are accurate.

PlutoBa's privacy policy states that it processes account, usage and public creator data; uses Stripe for payments and third parties for email, public social-data collection, AI analysis, analytics and hosting; relies on legitimate interest for public creator-data assessment under GDPR; and provides creator removal rights and explicit retention windows. ⁵

The panel found one exact external product listing on Capterra. It has zero user reviews, so it provides no user-rating input. Its plan limits and free-version metadata also conflict with the current first-party pricing page, so those stale commercial details were excluded. ⁶ No independent exact-product benchmark currently validates the accuracy of PlutoBa's authenticity, safety or rate signals. No hands-on test was performed.

PlutoBa is best for brands and agencies that already receive or source creator opportunities and need a standardized first-pass filter, not for teams primarily looking for a discovery database. PlutoBa explicitly positions itself as an intake/vetting layer rather than a replacement for discovery platforms. ¹

The free tier lowers evaluation risk for smaller brands, while the agency plans support higher pooled volumes. Creator-side tools are relevant to creators who want structured inbound brand enquiries and scam/intent triage. ^{3 4}
