01 + 02
Search the posts, then judge on median views
A TikTok video search for "travel backpack" returned 20 videos from 15 accounts, and 8 of the videos linked a TikTok Shop product. One backpack reviewer, Creator A, showed up 4 times, with 419,400, 147,400, 78,900 and 65,200 views.
Then we pulled each candidate's latest posts. Creator B looks like a find: a 313,000-view BAGSMART Blast video and 9,089 followers. Their last 20 posts, from 6 to 9 October, all link Shop products, none of them bags, and the median is about 1,030 views.
Creator C has only 1,540 followers but a median of 2,314 views, more than their follower count, and a 53,700-view comparison of backpacks under $55. Creator A posted about bags in 18 of their last 19 posts and tagged 8 bag brands, from Osprey to BAGSMART. Modash lists brand collaboration history as a feature; on TikTok, much of it sits in the brands a creator tags.

Vet a shortlistModash vs TokConnect: questions brands ask
Is Modash good for finding TikTok creators?
Modash is a strong creator database: 350M to 380M+ creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube (Modash shows both figures), with audience demographics and public emails, from $199 a month billed yearly. For TikTok creators who post about your product right now, TokConnect is the better pick: it searches live videos, ranks creators on median views of their latest posts and shows the Shop products they link, from $49 a month.
Does Modash show which creators sell a TikTok Shop product?
Its pricing page lists Shopify sales tracking, affiliate links and promo codes, but no TikTok Shop product links, as of 10 October 2026. TokConnect lists the creators whose public videos link a Shop listing: for the best-selling LOVEVOOK travel backpack it found 14, and 10 carried TikTok's "Creator earns commission" label.
Is Modash worth it for a brand that only works on TikTok?
For a TikTok-only brand, TokConnect usually fits better: it finds creators from their TikTok posts, Shop links and comments, starts with 50 free credits and costs $588 a year on its Starter plan. Modash is worth its $2,388 a year (Essentials, billed yearly) when you also run Instagram and YouTube creators and need audience data, emails, tracking and payments in one place.
Should brands pick TikTok creators by followers or by views?
By views on recent posts. In our travel-backpack check, a creator with 9,089 followers had a 313,000-view backpack video but a median of about 1,030 views across their last 20 posts, none about bags. Another, with 1,540 followers, had a median of 2,314 views, more than their follower count.
How we got these numbers
We pulled public TikTok data through TokConnect on 10 October 2026, 11 calls in all:
search_videosfor "travel backpack", twice (20 videos each);search_shop_productsfor "travel backpack", best sellers;find_affiliateson the top LOVEVOOK listing and on the BAGSMART Blast listing;creator_postsfor four creators (the latest 19 or 20 posts each);video_commentson two creator videos (35 and 20 comments).
Medians are over the posts pulled. Views and sold counts are what TikTok displayed that day. Creators are masked; brand accounts are named. The BAGSMART Blast listing returned 4 linking accounts, 3 of them BAGSMART's own, so the page uses the LOVEVOOK best seller. Modash facts come from its pricing, homepage and API pages, read on 10 October 2026, each saved with its exact wording. Open the data.
