The Best Media Kit Tools in 2026: 5 Options for Creators and Agencies

Short answer: The best media kit tool depends on who you are. For creator and talent agencies managing a roster, Creato is built for the job: live, verified media kits for every creator, multi-creator pitch links and live campaign recaps. For solo creators, CreatorsJet and Kitly are strong live media kit makers, and Beacons is the best pick if you also sell products from your link in bio. Canva is fine for a one-off, good-looking PDF, but its numbers are typed in by hand and go out of date.

What makes a good media kit tool in 2026

Brands have learned to distrust screenshots. A media kit tool is worth paying for if it gets four things right:

  1. 1.Live data, not typed-in numbers. The tool should connect to your accounts and update followers, views, engagement and audience automatically.
  2. 2.Verified sourcing. Numbers should come from the platforms' official connections, so a brand can trust them without asking for proof.
  3. 3.The platforms you actually use. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube are table stakes; Snapchat, Facebook, Twitch and X vary by tool.
  4. 4.One shareable link. A URL a brand can open any time beats a PDF attachment that is stale a week later.

1. Creato - best for creator and talent agencies

Creato is a creator management platform built around the agency roster. Every creator connects Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat once via read-only OAuth, and from then on their live media kit updates itself and carries a verified badge.

What sets it apart is what happens around the media kit:

Pricing: free forever for solo creators. Agency plans start at €79/month (billed annually) for 3 creators, with Pro at €399 and Scale at €1,199; every new workspace starts with a 30-day free trial of Scale. See pricing.

Watch out for: no Facebook, X or Twitch support, no invoicing, and no creator discovery database. Creato is for teams that already work with their creators.

2. Kitly - best for creators who want invoicing too

Kitly is a creator business app with a live media kit builder at its core. Creators can add videos, links, rates and galleries to a kit that pulls insights from their connected accounts, and the same kit can serve as a link in bio. Kitly also handles campaigns and deliverables, sends invoices, and reconciles payments with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks. It covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, and has iOS and Android apps. A separate product, Kitly Business, targets brands and agencies with creator discovery and campaign reporting.

Pricing (as listed on kitly.co): Free with 1 connected account; Starter at $89/year; Premium at $190/year. Kitly Business offers a 7-day trial with pricing on request.

Watch out for: no Snapchat support. Agencies will want to evaluate Kitly Business separately from the creator app.

3. CreatorsJet - best for solo creators actively pitching sponsors

CreatorsJet combines live media kits with a link in bio, a deals tracker, tracked short links and a "Find Sponsors" tool for brand outreach. It supports a broad set of platforms, including Twitch and X, which most competitors skip.

Pricing: Free (1 media kit, 1 connected account); Creator Starter $12/month billed annually ($15 monthly) with 3 accounts and daily stat updates; Creator Pro $24/month annually with 3 media kits, 10 accounts and a custom domain; Creator Max $40/month annually. Manager plans for teams are priced by creator seats.

Watch out for: stats on the free plan update less often than on paid plans, and the product is built mainly for individual creators.

Beacons is an all-in-one creator platform: link in bio, digital product store, email marketing and a media kit that pulls in live audience stats. If you sell presets, courses or merch, it replaces several tools at once.

Pricing (from Beacons' help center): Free, which includes the media kit but takes a 9% fee on store sales; Creator at $10/month; Creator Plus at $30/month, which removes the transaction fee; Creator Max at $90/month.

Watch out for: the media kit is one feature among many rather than the focus, and the 9% fee on lower plans adds up once you sell regularly.

5. Canva - best for a one-off designed PDF

Canva's media kit templates make it easy to produce a beautiful document fast, and the free plan is enough for most creators. The catch is that every number is typed in by hand, so the kit is out of date as soon as you send it and brands cannot verify it. Use Canva when design matters more than data, or when you need a printable one-sheet.

Pricing: free plan available; Canva Pro is $18/month or $180/year.

Watch out for: no live data and no verification. If brands ask for screenshots to back up your PDF, a live tool will save you time. See our Canva media kit alternative page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free media kit tool?+

Creato, Kitly, CreatorsJet and Beacons all offer free plans with live media kits. Creato's Solo plan is free forever and includes a live, verified media kit plus a link-in-bio page; Beacons' free plan includes a media kit but charges 9% on store sales; Kitly and CreatorsJet limit free users to one connected account.

What is a live media kit?+

A live media kit is a shareable link that pulls followers, views, engagement and audience data straight from a creator's connected social accounts and keeps it current, instead of a PDF with numbers typed in by hand.

Which media kit tool is best for agencies?+

Tools built for individual creators rarely handle a roster well. Creato is designed for agencies, with one workspace for every creator, multi-creator pitch links, roster pages, a client CRM and live campaign recaps.

Which media kit tools support Snapchat?+

Creato supports Snapchat alongside Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Kitly does not list Snapchat; for other tools, check their current list of supported platforms before you sign up.

Is a Canva media kit good enough?+

For a first kit, yes. But Canva numbers are entered manually, go stale quickly and cannot be verified, which is why many brands now prefer live, platform-sourced media kit links.
