Alexis JarreCMO & Co-founderNaano and Kolsquare are both European creator platforms, which is where the resemblance ends. Kolsquare is a multi-channel influencer marketing platform built for consumer brands: a large profile database, campaign management, and reporting across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, sold as an annual license. Naano is a B2B LinkedIn creator marketplace: brands book vetted micro-creators at a fixed price from €20 per post, and every post reports qualified clicks. The honest answer to "Naano or Kolsquare?" is a question about your buyer: if they make purchasing decisions on LinkedIn, you need LinkedIn-native supply and pipeline metrics; if they scroll Instagram, you need reach tooling.
What is Kolsquare?
Kolsquare is a French influencer marketing platform used by European consumer brands and agencies. Its core product is discovery and campaign management: a database of influencer profiles with audience analytics, campaign workflow tooling, reporting, and GDPR-native data handling. Pricing is quote-based, typically an annual software license.
Kolsquare's strengths:
- Deep European influencer coverage across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
- Campaign management and reporting built for brand and agency teams
- GDPR-native data practices, a real differentiator for EU brands
- Established vendor with a large customer base in consumer verticals
What is Naano?
Naano is a B2B creator marketplace built exclusively for LinkedIn: 2,000+ vetted micro-creators (1k–10k followers in defined B2B verticals), creator-defined fixed prices from €20 per post, booking and payment handled in the platform, and per-post qualified-click tracking. Campaigns averaged an €18 cost per qualified click in Q1 2026, with a 7-day median from brief to first live post [Naano marketplace data, Q1 2026].

When is Kolsquare the right tool?
Choose Kolsquare when you are a consumer brand (or an agency serving them) running multi-channel influencer programs in Europe: e-commerce, beauty, lifestyle, retail. Its database depth, campaign tooling, and GDPR posture are built for exactly that job, and none of Naano's LinkedIn-native machinery would help you there.
When is Naano the right tool?
Choose Naano when your buyers are professionals and your metric is pipeline: B2B SaaS launches, demand generation, and always-on qualified-click acquisition on LinkedIn. A Kolsquare-style consumer database cannot supply LinkedIn practitioner voices, and reach-centric reporting cannot tell you which post produced which lead — the two structural gaps a B2B marketplace exists to close.
The takeaway
This is a channel decision disguised as a tool decision. Kolsquare is excellent tooling for consumer influence in Europe; Naano is the transactional marketplace for B2B influence on LinkedIn. Teams that sell to both audiences sometimes run both — they don't overlap on a single campaign.
