Question 1

What is the best 1stCollab alternative for dog brands?

Accepted Answer

Dogfluence is the only influencer platform purpose-built for dog brands. Where 1stCollab is a horizontal nano/micro-influencer marketplace covering all niches — with a pets category but no breed-level targeting — Dogfluence gives dog brands breed-filtered creator discovery, dog sizing data for accurate product sendouts (neck girth, chest girth, body length stored on every profile), Brand Trail for mid-campaign performance optimisation, and Social Amplification on every brand post. For dog brands where breed match and product fit are core to the campaign, Dogfluence closes the gaps that 1stCollab cannot address at any pricing tier.

Question 2

Is there a 1stCollab alternative with a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creator.co, Publicfast, and Afluencer all offer free tiers, similar to 1stCollab's free plan. These platforms cover general influencer categories including pets. The trade-off compared to Dogfluence is the same as with 1stCollab: none of these free-tier options offer dog-breed filtering, dog sizing data, or creator-level attribution built specifically for dog brands. Dogfluence's Scale plan at $399/month includes a 14-day free trial — enough time to see the dog-specific features working for your brand before committing.

Question 3

Why do dog brands look for 1stCollab alternatives?

Accepted Answer

The most common reasons dog brands outgrow 1stCollab are: first, the absence of dog-breed filtering — the pets category exists, but there is no way to specify that you only want creators who own a particular breed, which matters when your product is breed-specific. Second, no dog sizing data — for harnesses, collars, or apparel, sizing must be confirmed manually with each creator outside the platform, slowing down sendouts and increasing wasted samples. Third, limited attribution — 1stCollab reports on campaign activity, but does not connect individual creator posts to downstream site visits or conversions. As dog brands scale, these gaps become the reasons they switch.

Question 4

Does 1stCollab have dog breed filtering?

Accepted Answer

No. 1stCollab's creator search includes a pets niche filter but does not support breed-level targeting. A dog brand selling a product designed for French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, or large-breed dogs cannot filter the 1stCollab marketplace to show only creators who own those specific breeds. Dogfluence is the only platform that solves this with built-in breed-level filtering across its entire dog-only creator network.

Question 5

What makes Dogfluence different from 1stCollab and other alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Three capabilities that no alternative — including 1stCollab, Creator.co, Collabstr, Publicfast, or Afluencer — offers for dog brands: dog-breed creator filtering (match creators to the exact breeds your product is designed for), dog sizing data on every creator profile (neck girth, chest girth, body length for frictionless product sendouts), and Brand Trail (performance-based creator swapping mid-campaign). On top of these, Social Amplification automatically matches every brand post with relevant dog creators who engage and contribute — an always-on layer that general marketplace platforms do not have. Dogfluence was built from the ground up for dog brands; the alternatives were built for the broader market with pets as one category among many.
