clerpAI vs.
the alternatives.

vs. cold-DMing on Discord and Reddit

Most indie devs start here: searching Discord servers and subreddits, DMing streamers cold, and hoping for a reply. It works, but it doesn't scale — there's no way to tell a real, active streamer from a dormant account or a key-farm bot before you've already sent the key, no tracking once the DM thread goes quiet, and every hour spent searching is an hour not spent making the game.

• clerpAI verifies every creator's real activity — streaming frequency, engagement, delivery history — before you ever see them, not after you've already sent a key.
• Blind preview shows you the Trust Score, platform, viewers and content tags upfront — no more judging by follower count or guessing from a profile.
• Every match is tracked automatically from confirmed to streamed to VOD-submitted — no lost DM threads.

vs. curated influencer-marketing platforms

Services like Keymailer or Woovit exist to connect brands with creators for sponsorship-style campaigns, typically through subscriptions or per-campaign fees, curated by audience analytics. That's a reasonable model if you're running a marketing campaign with a budget behind it — it's a mismatch for an indie dev who just wants a genuine streamer to try their game.

• clerpAI charges per confirmed match, not a subscription or campaign fee — you only pay when a real match actually happens.
• Built specifically for the 10–500 concurrent-viewer range that bigger platforms often don't prioritize, not just top-tier creators.
• Verification is activity-based — real streaming behavior and pattern analysis — rather than audience-demographic analytics.

To be fair: those platforms offer broader campaign and brand-management tooling that clerpAI doesn't try to be. clerpAI is built for one specific job — getting a real key into a real streamer's hands without the guesswork — not for running a full marketing campaign.
