Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Scruta because I was doing creator outreach for my own app on a $0 budget, and I had no idea which influencers were actually worth paying. Follower counts lie, engagement can be faked, and one bad paid post can wipe out a tiny marketing budget.
So I made Scruta. You paste any TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube handle and it pulls live metrics, then gives you a plain-language verdict: pay, free-seed first, or avoid, with the reasoning and a fair rate estimate. No dashboards to decode, just a decision.
It also saves creators to a tracker, writes personalized outreach DMs and emails, and compares two creators head-to-head so you know who to reach out to first.
It's free to start (5 vets a day), built solo, for other indie founders doing their own outreach. I'd love your honest feedback on what would make it genuinely useful.
What's the worst creator spend you've ever made? 👇
Been waiting for something like this. One thing that would make it way more useful is showing a side-by-side comparison of two creators so I can quickly decide between them without opening multiple tabs.
Pasted a few handles I was actually considering for a collab and the engagement breakdown was way more useful than the usual follower count. Fair rate estimate alone saved me a back-and-forth.
Ran my own handle through Scruta and the verdict actually matched what I already suspected but couldn't prove with the usual vanity numbers. The fake follower flag was spot on.
