Software Creators on TikTok in South Africa: 92
Updated 2026-09-20
This is the pool of Software creators on TikTok serving the South Africa market — 92 of them. This is the most specific cut, and the closest to a real campaign decision: you rarely need "gaming creators", you need a particular kind of creator on a particular platform for a particular market.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Creators indexed | 92 |
| Grade A (contact these first) | 1 (1%) |
| Grade B | 8 (9%) |
| Average authenticity score | 51 / 100 |
| With public contact details | 10 (11%) |
| With recent content captured | 18 (20%) |
| Median follower count | 17,938 |
| Suspected bought-follower accounts quarantined | 18 (excluded above) |
How this slice differs from the index as a whole
- Median following is 17,938, 4.3× the index-wide median of 4,155 — expect higher rate cards.
- A and B grades are 10% of this slice versus 37% overall — expect to screen through more names to find usable ones.
- 20% have recent content captured for judgement versus 46% overall — confidence here is lower than average, so pair it with manual review.
How this segment differs from the baselines
| Metric | This segment | South Africa · Software | TikTok · Software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creators | 92 | 157 | 19,321 |
| Grade A share | 1% | 3% | 1% |
| Avg authenticity | 51 | 53 | 51 |
| Contactable | 11% | 10% | 10% |
Authenticity is above the platform-wide average for this industry (51 vs 51) — so vetting cost in this segment is relatively lower.
How to read these numbers: this covers creators indexed and validated inside Koinon Link, not every creator on the platform. Suspected bought-follower accounts are quarantined and excluded from the table above (shown separately). The authenticity score is our own anomaly detection over follower/engagement structure, not a platform-official metric. Figures update as collection continues.
