A GRIN alternative built for proof of posting.
GRIN runs your whole creator program: relationships, gifting, payments and affiliate links. Pozto does one part of that job. It watches the videos your creators post and tells you which ones show your product, down to the second, tagged or not.
The short answer
If you need one system to find creators, ship them product, pay them and run affiliate codes, GRIN is built for that, and Pozto isn’t. If you already gift product and your real question is “who posted, and is our product actually in the video?”, that’s the job Pozto is built for.
Some teams use both: GRIN to run the program, Pozto to check the content. Others only seed product and don’t need a full creator CRM, so a lighter tool is enough.

Where GRIN is the better fit
GRIN covers parts of a creator program that Pozto doesn’t touch. Pick GRIN, or keep it, if you need:
- Creator discovery. GRIN has a marketplace of 700K+ creators. Pozto has no search database.
- Gifting logistics. Creators choosing products, orders going through Shopify. Pozto doesn’t collect addresses or ship anything.
- Payments and affiliate. Payouts through Stripe, affiliate links, codes and commissions. Pozto doesn’t pay creators.
- Usage rights. GRIN keeps approved usage rights attached to content. Pozto doesn’t manage rights or download videos for reuse.
- Instagram Stories. Pozto checks TikTok, Reels and Shorts, not Stories.
GRIN also has a real free plan and month-to-month paid plans, so cost and commitment aren’t the obstacles they used to be.
Where Pozto is the better fit
Pozto starts from a different question. Not “who should we work with?” but “what did they actually post?”. It’s for teams that gift a lot of product and lose track of the results.
- It reads the video, not just the caption. Creators often show your product without tagging you, or tag you without showing it. Pozto matches frames, speech and captions against photos of your products and shows the exact second. See how untagged detection works.
- Every creator gets a status. Posted, check, waiting, ghosted or not tagged, from the day your product arrives. You stop scrolling feeds to find out.
- Creators don’t connect anything. Pozto checks the public videos they post. There’s nothing for them to sign up for.
- Simple pricing. You pay for the creators you track this month, not for credits. Free covers your first 10 creators.
- Proof you can forward. A daily digest with timestamps, and on Growth, a weekly report for leadership.
Use both
If GRIN already runs your program, you don’t have to move. Keep GRIN for discovery, shipping and payments, and import the same creators into Pozto with a CSV. Pozto then watches their new videos and tells you which ones show your product, including the posts that never tagged you. Those untagged posts are often your best case for a paid follow-up.
