Head-to-head breakdown

Dogfluence vs Zorka.Agency

Control & Ownership

Dogfluence gives dog brands full self-serve control — browse creators by breed, size, location, and engagement metrics. Zorka.Agency is a managed agency where campaigns are run by their team, meaning less direct control for the brand.

Cost Model

Dogfluence is a flat subscription starting at $199/month with no campaign minimums. Zorka.Agency uses campaign-based or retainer pricing that requires direct negotiation — costs scale significantly with campaign scope.

Automation

Dogfluence automates creator matching and outreach through Social Amplification, which automatically matches brand posts with relevant dog creators who engage and contribute. Zorka.Agency relies on their team to manually source and manage influencer relationships.

Dog Niche

Dogfluence is built exclusively for dog brands, with features like breed filtering, dog sizing data (neck girth, chest girth, body length), and a creator network of dog owners and enthusiasts. Zorka.Agency has no dog-specific capabilities — their influencer network and tooling are oriented around gaming, app, and tech audiences.

Speed to Launch

Dogfluence lets brands launch campaigns and start matching with dog creators within the same day. Zorka.Agency requires a scoping and onboarding process typical of managed agencies, which adds time before campaigns go live.

Only on Dogfluence

Built-in Instagram Amplification. No other platform has this.

When you publish an Instagram post as a dog brand, Dogfluence automatically matches it with dog creators who are likely to engage with it on Instagram. Their real comments, co-authoring, and storytelling dramatically boost your Instagram post performance — and compound your account health with every post you boost.

Traditional influencer platforms

Your Instagram post reaches existing followers only — zero new reach
Flat IG engagement — Instagram's algorithm sees no momentum
No creator matching for your Instagram content
Your Instagram account health stagnates between campaigns

With Dogfluence

Your Instagram post is matched with suitable dog creators
Creators comment and co-author on Instagram — real IG engagement from relevant profiles
Every boost dramatically improves your Instagram post performance
Continuous amplification compounds your Instagram account health over time

We match suitable creators

Dogfluence identifies creators in our network whose dog profile and audience fit your content best.

Creators engage, post soars

Real IG engagement from relevant dog profiles — boosting your reach, Instagram relevance score, and long-term account health.
