When Lurkit is the better pick

If you have a marketing budget and want paid coverage, managed key campaigns and reporting in one place, Lurkit is built for that, including TikTok and Shorts.

When PlayScout is the better pick

If you're a small team sending free keys and personal emails, you probably don't want a sales call or a commission. PlayScout shows public prices, gives you the top 10 matches free, and finds creators whether or not they've joined any platform.
