The experiment
We took one of the biggest marketing agencies in the game, a $10,000 campaign, and ran the same song, the same week, on SWARM. Real, high-quality U.S. views and engagement that blew past theirs. Here's the head-to-head.
Industry-leading agency
$10,000 budget
SWARM
$717 spent
✓ All real, high-quality U.S. views, 0 botted, 0 flagged. That $0.46 is a $0.52 effective CPM: not just cheap, effectively cheap.

The literal difference
Same song. Same week. For their $10,000, we could've run this campaign ~14 times over, and still win on views and engagement, with real, high-quality U.S. views, not inflated counts. Cheap is easy; effectively cheap is the whole game.
Your campaign, coached
Example
You saved ~$14,200 using SWARM
vs. what a traditional campaign would've cost for the same real reach.
Example
Don't use @creator again
Their views are botted, you paid for reach that mostly doesn't exist.
Example
Do more with @creator
A proven, US-based winner you've only run once. Book them again.
See the real value
Bought views and views from outside your target market get noticed and weighted, so a creator's numbers reflect the audience that actually matters to you, not an inflated count. That's your effective CPM.

Why you won't get screwed
What burns people running TikTok campaigns, and how SWARM has your back automatically.
“5 million views!” …that are bought
Bot/bought views are spotted and counted as zero in your effective CPM, so a fake viral video can never trick you into overpaying.
Views from outside your market
Views from regions outside your target are noticed and weighted by their real value, so the numbers reflect the audience that actually matters to you.
Overpaying a creator
SWARM tells you what to pay each creator from their real past performance on the platform, so you start from a fair number, not a guess.
Paying for videos that never come (or get deleted)
Every deal is tracked with proof of payment and a full dispute trail. If they don’t deliver, you’ve got the receipts.
Drowning in drafts & approvals
Creators send drafts in one place; you approve or deny in a tap. Everyone always knows where things stand.
The industry standard vs. SWARM
CreatorCore is what most teams run campaigns on today. Here's everything SWARM tracks to actually run one that works, lined up against what it gives you.
Track total views for the whole campaign
Share a link so partners can watch the campaign live
Creators upload drafts, you approve or deny
Budget that counts down live as you add videos
theirs stays static
Real CPM (cost per 1,000 views)
eCPM: true cost after bot & off-target views are weighted
Bot / fake-view detection on every creator
Real results from everyone who's used that creator
theirs is estimated, not real results
Suggested price per creator, from real platform data
A private inbox to talk to creators, out of the DMs
Audience location flagged per video (real US reach)
Proof of payment & dispute trail on every deal
Tells you what to actually do with the numbers
You don't even have enough information to run an effective campaign on the other dashboards. And even if their numbers were right, you still wouldn't know what to do with them. SWARM does.
For creators
Brands reach out to you in one place, no login, no app. Chat, send drafts, get approved, and track every deal from a single link you can save to your home screen.
