UGC Creator Finder

Stop scrolling hashtags for hours. Find pre-qualified UGC creators in minutes.

Enter your niche hashtags, set your criteria, and get a scored list of creators ready for outreach—complete with engagement rates, follower counts, and contact info.

The Problem

Finding UGC creators manually means:

  • Scrolling through hundreds of hashtag posts
  • Clicking into each profile to check follower counts
  • Calculating engagement rates by hand
  • Copy-pasting emails from bios into spreadsheets
  • Repeating this for every campaign

This tool does all of that automatically.

What You Get

For each qualified creator:

  • UGC Fit Score (0-100) - Prioritized by likelihood to do paid partnerships
  • Engagement Rate - Calculated from their recent posts
  • Contact Info - Email extracted from bio (when available)
  • Profile Data - Followers, posts, bio, category, external links
  • Recent Posts - Preview their content style

How It Works

  1. You provide hashtags (e.g., "ugccreator", "skincareugc", "fitnesscreator")
  2. Set your filters (follower range, minimum engagement rate)
  3. Get a scored list of creators who match your criteria

Scoring System

Each creator is scored 0-100 based on:

FactorPointsCriteria
Engagement Rate0-4010%+ = 40pts, 5%+ = 30pts, 3%+ = 20pts
Follower Sweet Spot0-2510K-50K = 25pts (ideal for UGC)

Tips for Best Results

Hashtag Selection

  • Use niche-specific hashtags (e.g., "skincareugc" not just "skincare")
  • Include "ugc" or "creator" variations
  • Try brand-adjacent hashtags your ideal creators use

Follower Range

  • Nano (1K-10K): Highest engagement, lowest cost, most authentic
  • Micro (10K-50K): Sweet spot for UGC - good reach, still authentic
  • Mid (50K-100K): More professional, higher rates

Pricing

$5.00 per 1,000 qualified creators

You only pay for creators that pass your filters and get returned in results. Hashtag searches, post visits, and failed requests don't count toward your bill.

Example: You search 3 hashtags with filters set to 5K-50K followers and 3%+ engagement. The tool checks 200 profiles but only 45 meet your criteria. You pay for 45 results.

Limitations

  • Only works on public Instagram profiles
  • Results depend on hashtag activity
  • Rate limited by Instagram (~200 requests/hour)
  • Some profiles may not have engagement data

This tool only accesses publicly available data. Users are responsible for:

  • Complying with Instagram's Terms of Service
  • Following applicable data protection laws
  • Using data ethically (no spam, harassment, etc.)
