- You want to know where each creator’s followers live before they visit, read from Instagram itself.
- You would rather pay per collab than a monthly fee plus an ad budget.
- You want Story detection and review handled for you, with expired Stories kept in your dashboard.

Pricing compared
Storytime starts at $10 per influencer collab; our pricing page shows what is included. You choose the reward creators get: a comped visit, a code, a gift card, a link or cash.
Remy is $300 a month per location: $150 for the Remy subscription, which is all Feast charges, plus about $150 of recruitment ads that you pay through your own Meta account3. Dining credits and an optional partnership-ad bonus, typically around $100, sit outside that1. It is month to month, with no partial refunds, and Feast refunds the subscription payment if your first creator visit isn’t booked within 7 days13.
How creators are matched and checked
Remy works like a job ad. It publishes a paid ad around your restaurant, creators who see it on Facebook or Instagram apply, and you see each applicant’s profile, followers and engagement before you approve or deny them2. Approved creators book themselves into the hosting windows you set2.
Storytime works from a network. Our team builds the campaign from your request, creators qualify by where their followers live and a Storytime creator score, and they join from the app. You can require approval, rate creators and block them.
Both check the visit at the door. Remy gives each creator a digital pass your staff scan on arrival, and you approve each video or ask for a revision2. Storytime adds a GPS check-in to the Collab Pass your staff validate, then detects posted Stories through the Instagram API and reviews them.
Where the creator data comes from
Storytime creators connect their Instagram professional account through Instagram Login, Meta’s official API, so follower cities, reach and post results come from Instagram. A creator whose connection lapses can’t take new campaigns until they reconnect.
Remy uses Meta for something different: the recruitment ad runs from your restaurant’s ad account2. Feast doesn’t publish where the follower and engagement figures it shows for applicants come from, and audience location isn’t mentioned2.
Markets
Storytime is live in New York City, Miami, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and the Hamptons, with limited access elsewhere and online campaigns nationwide. Feast is based in New York and says Remy works anywhere with active food creators, including small towns, where it widens the search to a 15 to 30 minute drive41.
