Viralytics vs Viralstat
Viralstat is great for discovering viral videos and benchmarking competitors across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. Viralytics does the opposite job: it tracks the specific creators you pay, calculates their CPM and payouts, and gives them a portal to see their own stats.

Brands, agencies, labels and creators who want to discover trending content and benchmark channels they don't own. It's a research and monitoring tool, not a paid-UGC program manager.

Why teams switch to Viralytics
The four things that actually matter when you're managing a paid UGC program.
Payouts are built in, not bolted on
Viralytics calculates what each creator is owed from real view counts and per-platform CPM, then tracks who's been paid. Viralstat has no payout or CPM tooling — you'd export numbers and run payouts in a spreadsheet.
Measures your roster, not the whole internet
Viralstat shines at discovering viral videos and benchmarking channels you don't own. Viralytics is built around the specific creators you've hired, so every metric maps to a creator on your payroll.
A real creator-facing portal
Viralytics gives each creator their own view of the stats and earnings that matter to them. Viralstat offers share-via-link reporting, but not a dedicated portal for the creators you pay.
Simple step pricing, unlimited seats
Viralytics starts at $40/mo for 500 tracked videos with unlimited team seats and straightforward step pricing ($18 per extra 250 videos) — no credit system. Viralstat's plans are scoped to monitored profiles and cap guest access.
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.
