Alexis JarreCEO & Co-founderNaano and Favikon both work with B2B LinkedIn creators, but they sit on different sides of the GTM stack. Naano is a creator marketplace with CPL pricing — you book campaigns, creators publish, you pay per qualified click. Favikon is a creator analytics and discovery platform — you research creators, score their audience and content, and use that intelligence to inform outreach (which you then run yourself or through another channel). The honest answer to "Naano or Favikon?" is that for most B2B SaaS teams, you don't pick one — you pick what you actually need: campaign execution (Naano) or creator intelligence (Favikon).
What is Favikon?
Favikon is a French B2B-focused creator analytics platform that ranks LinkedIn (and increasingly cross-platform) creators using its proprietary scoring system. Brands and agencies use Favikon to discover creators in specific verticals, understand their audience composition, benchmark engagement, and inform outreach decisions. Favikon's product is data and discovery; the actual campaign execution — outreach, contracting, briefing, payment — is handled outside the platform.
Favikon's strengths:
- Deep creator analytics (engagement rates, audience composition, scoring)
- LinkedIn-first with growing cross-platform coverage
- Vertical and country filters for creator discovery
- Strong creator-leaderboards and rankings (useful for category research)
What is Naano?
Naano is a B2B SaaS creator marketplace that connects companies with vetted LinkedIn micro-creators (1k–10k followers in defined verticals) on a cost-per-qualified-click basis. Naano handles end-to-end campaign execution: vertical matching, brief management, creator publishing, click tracking, and payment. The customer is a B2B SaaS marketing or GTM team that wants CPL acquisition, not a researcher building a creator database.
Naano's strengths:
- End-to-end campaign execution (book → publish → track → pay)
- CPL pricing (€1.90–2.90/qualified click) — pay only on tracked outcomes
- ~300 vetted B2B creators across SaaS verticals
- 12% average CTR vs 0.8% LinkedIn Sponsored Content benchmark [Naano data, Q1 2026]
- Built-in qualified-click tracking and engager-export for warm outbound

The key distinction: Favikon is a research tool; Naano is an execution platform. They sit at different points in the workflow.
When is Favikon the right tool?
Favikon is the right choice when the team's job is creator research, agency-style campaign planning, or building a strategic creator database for ongoing relationship management. In these cases, the analytics depth and discovery breadth are the actual product value.
Scenario 1 — Agencies running multiple brand accounts An agency managing creator-led growth for 5 different B2B SaaS brands needs to source, vet, and benchmark creators across many verticals. The agency's product is intelligence and execution — they want a research tool, not a marketplace that locks them into specific creators or pricing.
Scenario 2 — Internal creator program teams An enterprise B2B brand with a dedicated creator-marketing team and an established outreach process may already have the muscle to handle outreach, contracting, and payment. They need analytics to inform creator selection — Favikon fits.
Scenario 3 — Competitive intelligence Understanding which creators talk about your category, who their audience is, and how they're trending over time is a Favikon-shaped problem. Naano doesn't surface this kind of cross-creator analytics directly.
When is Naano the right tool?
Naano is the right choice when the team's job is producing qualified clicks for a B2B SaaS product on a CPL budget, with minimal overhead. The decisive factors are CPL pricing, end-to-end execution, and the lack of internal creator-marketing infrastructure.
Scenario 1 — Lean B2B SaaS marketing teams A team of 1–3 marketers running demand gen across multiple channels doesn't have 8–15 hours per campaign to source, vet, brief, contract, and pay creators directly. Naano compresses that to 30 minutes — and the CPL pricing means the team is accountable to outcomes, not to creator-management overhead.
Scenario 2 — CPL-accountable demand-gen budget If the marketing budget is measured in CPL or pipeline contribution, Naano's CPL pricing aligns the platform's incentive with the team's incentive. A research tool like Favikon doesn't shift the cost-of-execution problem.
Scenario 3 — Tested vertical match Naano's vetted creator network is filtered for B2B SaaS verticals already. The brand doesn't need to build a database from scratch; the matching layer is the product.
Can you use both?
Yes, and several mature B2B SaaS teams do. The pattern: use Favikon for strategic creator research and benchmarking (quarterly cadence, internal database), and use Naano for campaign execution (continuous, CPL-priced).
A typical workflow:
- Quarterly: use Favikon to understand which creators are emerging in your vertical, score them, and add the strongest to an internal watchlist.
- Continuously: use Naano to run CPL-priced campaigns with vetted creators, tracking per-creator performance and refining the active roster.
- Cross-reference: when Favikon surfaces a high-scoring creator your Naano roster doesn't include, request that creator be added to the Naano network (or run a one-off direct deal).
This combined workflow avoids the trap of over-investing in creator research without execution capacity, while also avoiding the trap of running execution-only without strategic intelligence behind it.
How do you decide?
Ask one question: does the team need execution or intelligence?
- If you need clicks shipped, campaigns run, creators paid, and tracking handled — Naano. The product is execution; the pricing matches.
- If you need creator scoring, audience analytics, and competitive intelligence — Favikon. The product is data; the pricing is SaaS.
Most lean B2B SaaS teams need execution first, intelligence second. Most agencies and enterprise creator-program teams need intelligence first, execution second. Pick based on which side of that line your team sits on.
If your B2B SaaS team needs to ship qualified clicks, not build a creator database, Naano matches you with vetted LinkedIn micro-creators in your vertical and bills you per qualified click — €1.90–2.90/click, no minimum, no retainer.
