Why sellers go looking for sites like Tomoson
Tomoson takes payment ahead of time. Its terms call the service non refundable. Months you do not use earn no credit.
Every plan also limits how many people you can hire in a month.
A Quora question, "What is tomoson.com?", still has no answers.
What Tomoson costs, plan by plan
Tomoson lists five plans. Each price is for one month.
Plan | Price per month | People hired a month | Cost for each person hired | Campaigns at once | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic | $49 | 25 | $1.96 | 1 | 1 |
Starter | $99 | 100 | $0.99 | 10 | 3 |
Business (most popular) | $199 | 300 | $0.66 | 30 | 5 |
Agency | $399 | 1,000 | $0.40 | 100 | 10 |
Scale | $599 | 3,500 | $0.17 | 100 | 20 |
Take Basic. It costs $49 a month and lets you hire 25 people. Split $49 across 25 hires, and each one costs $1.96.
The last column assumes every spot gets used. The pricing page lists caps only. It gives no count of creators who will apply.
Business is $199 a month, which adds up to $2,388 over 12 months.
Tomoson's FAQ also says your fee depends on how many people you approve. All five plans list Export Reports.
What happens when the 10 free promotions run out?
Promotion number 11 ends the trial, even if the 21 days are not up. The Tomoson terms say: "Creation of more promotions immediately moves the account to paid monthly subscription status."
Each business gets one trial, and it starts without a card. Add no card by the end, and the account closes with no charge. Add a card, and monthly billing runs on its own.
The terms say billing happens ahead of time and the service is non refundable. Partial months, plan changes, and unused months earn no credit.
The one exception is the 110% Guarantee, and it has five conditions:
Put a card on file before the trial ends.
Get billed once at a full plan price.
Close the account inside the first paid period.
Message Tomoson support within 30 days of the trial end date.
Leave the trial unextended, since any extension voids the guarantee.
On Basic, you would get back 110% of $49, which is $53.90. Tomoson says approved refunds arrive within 10 business days.
Sending an email or making a call does not close an account. You close it yourself.
The link sits on the Update Subscriptions page, inside the Billing and Subscriptions tab. Close it before your bill date, and the next month is not charged.
When Tomoson is still a fair pick
Tomoson costs $0 while every promotion stays inside the 21 day trial. You add no card. You see whether creators apply without paying.
Two written promises sit on top of that. The 110% Guarantee protects your first paid period. The Send Your Product Guarantee covers the product cost plus shipping on your first promotion.
You claim it 40 to 55 days after shipping. You send proof of the price and a tracking number.

The pages for Intellifluence, Collabstr, Heepsy and Influee do not.

The product is free, with no shipping charge to the creator. The same FAQ says it will not step in when a creator leaves a negative rating.

Taking your creator list with you
Every Tomoson plan lists Export Reports. The pricing page never says whether that includes contact details. Try an export in your account first.
