Shortimize is a general short-form video analytics tool. Viralytics is built specifically for brands managing paid UGC programs — with payout tracking, CPM, and a creator portal included.
Shortimize

From $99/mo (Pro: 1,000 videos, 1 seat)
Viralytics
Brands and agencies running paid UGC programs who need to track creator ROI, manage payouts, and report on campaign performance — all in one purpose-built tool.
From $40/mo (500 videos/month, scales with usage)
Side-by-side breakdown
The four things that actually matter when you're managing a paid UGC program.
Shortimize charges $99/mo for 1,000 videos with a single seat. Viralytics tracks the same 1,000 videos for $76/mo — about 23% less — and starts at just $40/mo if you only need 500. Every plan includes unlimited team seats.
Know exactly what you're paying each creator and what you're getting back. Viralytics calculates CPM per platform, tracks base pay vs bonuses, and shows remaining balances — Shortimize doesn't touch this.
Share a private performance portal with each creator. They see their views, their CPM, and their earnings — without you having to send weekly reports.
Shortimize limits you to 1 seat on Pro and 3 on Business. Viralytics includes unlimited team members on every plan — invite your whole ops team without upgrading.
Viralytics tracks posts across all three platforms automatically — no manual uploads, no API keys to manage. Just paste a creator's handle and we handle the rest.
Viralytics is the best Shortimize alternative for brands and agencies running paid UGC programs. It tracks your creators' posts across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and adds what Shortimize lacks: built-in payout tracking, per-platform CPM, a creator-facing portal, and unlimited team seats — starting at $40/mo versus Shortimize's $99/mo.
Yes. Shortimize starts at $99/mo for 1,000 videos with a single seat. Viralytics starts at $40/mo for 500 videos with unlimited team seats, and scaling to 1,000 videos/month still comes in around 40% cheaper.
No. Shortimize is a short-form video analytics tool and does not calculate creator payouts or CPM per creator. Viralytics is purpose-built for that — it tracks base pay, bonuses, CPM per platform, and remaining balances for each creator.
Set up takes under 5 minutes. Paste in your creators' handles and start tracking views, CPM, and payouts across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
