Why teams switch to Viralytics
The four things that actually matter when you're managing a paid UGC program.
Cheaper for most programs
viral.app's Pro plan is $99/mo for 1,000 tracked videos. Viralytics starts at $40/mo for 500 and is $76/mo for 1,000 — and stays below viral.app's $299 Ultra plan all the way up to 4,000 videos a month.
No seat or creator caps
viral.app's Pro plan includes 1 team seat and 10 active creators. Viralytics includes unlimited seats and doesn't cap creators — you're priced only on the videos you track.
No percentage on your creator spend
viral.app charges a 3% payout management fee on creator payments. On $20,000 a month of creator pay, that's $600/mo. Viralytics calculates what each creator is owed and tracks what's paid without taking a cut.
Built for creators you already work with
If you recruit creators yourself, you don't need a marketplace, job posts, or competitor spying. Viralytics focuses on tracking, per-platform CPM, payouts, and a creator portal.
TikTok · Instagram · YouTube
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.
