Influencer marketing platforms in Saudi Arabia: Nojom and the alternatives

Nojom is the name most Saudi brands hear first when they look for an influencer platform. It isn’t the only option. This guide compares the platforms Saudi brands use to find and hire creators, using only what each one says on its own site or app store page on 3 November 2026.

We make Trendly, so we are not neutral. We have tried to describe every platform, including our own, by what it publishes, and to say where we couldn’t find something.

Two kinds of service

Before comparing names, decide which kind you want:

• A marketplace. You post a campaign or browse creators, compare offers and choose. You do the choosing; the platform handles payment and paperwork.
• A managed service or agency. You give a budget and a goal, and someone picks creators, negotiates and reports back. Less work for you, less control and usually a higher cost.

Several platforms below offer both.

Saudi and Gulf platforms

Nojom (نجوم)

Nojom describes itself as an AI influencer marketing platform for brands, agencies and influencers. Influencer profiles show their city, niche and a starting price, and creators set their own prices for each type of content. Its site mentions a SAR 200 welcome credit for new accounts and charges extra for content writing, campaign management and post-campaign reports. It describes its payments as secure and documented. Its iPhone app was first released in 2023 and is updated regularly.

Flicron (فليكرون)

Flicron calls itself the first Saudi platform connecting influencers and brands, and claims more than 13,500 influencers and 800 brands. Brands launch a campaign, influencers send quotes, and Flicron negotiates with them on the brand’s behalf. Its prices are not public. Its brand app was last updated in 2022 and its creator app in early 2025.

KLIQ (كليك)

KLIQ is a Saudi platform founded in 2025, which raised US$2.25 million led by Sanabil Venture Studio in October 2025. Brands write a brief, KLIQ suggests and invites creators, and agreements come ready to sign. Its FAQ says there is no minimum campaign budget, creators set their own prices, and creators are paid within three working days after approval and publishing.

Suits: brands that want matching suggestions and simple contracts.

Salla’s influencer marketplace (مؤثرين سلة)

If your store runs on Salla, you can hire influencers from inside your dashboard. Influencers create their own services and packages, and merchants see their ratings and reviews from other stores. Salla says it refunds the merchant if the influencer doesn’t deliver as requested. It covers Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf countries. Its platform fee is not published.

MoonTech (مون تيك)

MoonTech is an AI influencer platform covering the six Gulf countries, with Arabic and English support. It says campaigns can launch within 24 hours. Its pricing is not public, and its brand app had no ratings when we checked.

Suits: brands running campaigns across several Gulf countries.

Agencies and brokers

Ranan describes itself as an Arabic platform for influencer and UGC marketing, but works like an agency: it chooses creators, negotiates, contracts and approves content for you, and offers a white-label service to other agencies. Sites such as mashaheersa.com and influencerssa.com act as brokers, selling packages or celebrity ads. influencerssa.com publishes example prices, such as SAR 5,000 for a remote ad from one Snapchat celebrity.

Suits: brands with budget and no time, or that want a well-known face.

Global platforms

• Collabstr lists Saudi creators, including pages for Riyadh and Jeddah. Brands buy fixed-price packages, and payment is held until the brand approves the work. It has a free plan with a 10% fee and paid plans from US$249 a month, billed yearly. Its site is in English and priced in US dollars.
• Modash is a search tool, not a marketplace. It finds creators by location and audience, including in Riyadh, and costs from US$199 a month. You contact and pay creators yourself or through its payouts tool.
• Influee focuses on UGC videos, from US$229 a month plus a 10% fee. We couldn’t confirm Arabic support or Saudi pricing.
• Upfluence is a full software suite with custom pricing, built for large teams.

Global tools are strong for search and reporting. For Saudi campaigns, check whether they show Arabic content, accept riyals and reach creators who are active locally.

Trendly

Trendly is a creator marketplace for Saudi Arabia. Brands post a campaign free, creators apply with their own price, and the brand reviews each creator’s audience data and past work before hiring. When the brand accepts, it pays through Trendly and the payment is held until the brand approves the content and it is published. There is no subscription; the brand pays the agreed price plus a 10% service fee. Brands use the web dashboard or the iPhone app, and creators use the iPhone app.

Two tools sit alongside it. Trendly Studio shows which creators are already making videos for which brands, ranked by city and niche. Trendly Affiliate gives each creator a tracked discount code and handles commission and payouts.

Suits: brands and agencies that want to choose creators themselves and see real prices before they pay.

How to choose

Question	Why it matters
Do you choose the creators, or does the platform?	Control versus time saved.
What exactly is the fee, and when is it charged?	Many platforms don’t publish it. Ask in writing.
Is your payment held until the content is approved?	Protects you if a creator doesn’t deliver.
Can you see audience location and past brand work?	Followers alone don’t tell you who will buy.
Are creators paid quickly?	Creators who are paid on time keep working with you.
Does it work in Arabic, in riyals?	Saves your team and the creators friction.

Whichever you choose, start small: hire a few creators for one clear goal, see who works, and hire them again.
