Our own product: CreatoRain is made by Midwest AI Solution Inc., which owns this site and whose CEO is the editor responsible for these pages.

[How we make money](https://eaiservice.com/advertising/) Our verdict CreatoRain is restaurant marketing software made by Midwest AI Solution Inc., which publishes eaiservice.com, so it gets no score. It fits a restaurant or group that wants food creators invited and tracked to a booked visit and a video. It has a free plan, and paid plans start at $200 a month. It does not measure views or sales. **Best for:** A restaurant or restaurant group that wants food creators invited and tracked to a booked visit and a video **Not for:** A business that is not a restaurant, or one that needs views or sales measured **CreatoRain at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Starting price | Free plan; paid plans from $200 a month (read October 5, 2026) | | Free plan or trial | Free plan | | Standout feature | One campaign for many locations, with invitations that name locations in the creator’s city or state | | Maker | Midwest AI Solution Inc. | Not scored: CreatoRain is our publisher's own product, so we show the same evidence we gather for every tool and leave the judgment to you. [How we score](https://eaiservice.com/methodology/#scores) ## Who is CreatoRain for? CreatoRain is for restaurants that want food creators to visit and post. It finds creators in the areas where your locations are and sends the invitations and follow-ups. A person checks each drafted reply before it goes out, unless you turn on auto-send. It suits a group with many locations, since one campaign covers them all. Skip it if your business is not a restaurant. Skip it too if you need to know how many people saw a video or what it did for sales, because it tracks replies, bookings and videos only. On self-serve, creator pay and comp meals cost extra on top of the plan. ## Pros and cons ### Pros - Platform fees and done-with-you per-video prices are published - A person reviews each AI-drafted reply before it sends, unless auto-send is on - One campaign covers many locations, and each invitation names up to five of them - A free plan tracks a creator list you bring yourself ### Cons - Built for restaurants only - No search by distance: creator filters are name, city, state and follower count - Tracks replies, bookings and videos, not views or sales - Monthly billing has a 4-month minimum, and self-serve creator pay and meals cost extra ## How much does CreatoRain cost? **CreatoRain plans and prices** | Plan | Price | Charged per | Main limit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | Free | — | 1 restaurant location and 1 team login.

No, not by default. The AI drafts each reply, and a person reviews it before it sends unless the operator turns on auto-send. On self-serve that person is you; on done-with-you it is a CreatoRain specialist. ### Can CreatoRain search for creators by distance from my restaurant? No. It searches for food creators in the areas where your locations are, and the filters are name, city, state and follower count. Results are not ranked by distance. ### What results does CreatoRain track? It tracks replies, visits booked by location and status, and videos submitted and approved. It does not measure views or sales. ### Does CreatoRain set up the campaign for me? Partly. It reads your restaurant’s website and drafts the campaign name and description. You review and correct them, and you add your locations. ## Sources - [CreatoRain llms.txt (snapshot)](https://www.creatorain.com/llms.txt) (read October 5, 2026) - [CreatoRain pricing](https://www.creatorain.com/pricing) (read October 5, 2026) - [Reddit search for “creatorain”](https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=%22creatorain%22&type=posts&t=all) (read October 5, 2026) ## Changelog - October 5, 2026: Drafted from the llms.txt snapshot of 2026-10-05 and checked against the cited sources.
