ViralRank tracks the creators in your niche across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Every night it scores their posts against that account's own normal, so a genuine breakout stands out from a big account having an ordinary day. Then it tells you why the winners won.
Free for members. You bring your own API keys and pay nothing to us on top.
Four things, every night, without you opening a single app.
A post is scored against its own account's median, not against the internet. A small creator's 40x is worth more to you than a huge account's ordinary Tuesday.
Hook type, format, angle, emotion, and a reusable template you can steal. Not a score with no reasoning behind it.
It takes a snapshot every night, so you see what is accelerating right now instead of what peaked a fortnight ago.
When one hook is working on three platforms at once, that is a signal. ViralRank groups them and shows which platform paid best per thousand followers.
For video it pulls the on-screen text and the opening line, so you can study the hook itself, not just the caption under it.
Connect it to Claude Code, Codex or your own agent. Ask questions of your own data in plain language, in your own voice, on your own machine.
About ten minutes, once.
Your ViralRank account comes with your AI Systems Society membership.
Apify for the scraping, YouTube for video data, and an AI key for the write-ups. They stay encrypted, and only you can use them.
Any profile on any of the four platforms. Tag them by topic so you can filter later.
Last night's winners are waiting, scored and explained.
Most tools sell you credits. Credits run out, cost more than the compute behind them, and vanish at the end of the month. ViralRank does not resell you anything.
| Tool | You pay | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Typical creator suite | $39 to $297 / mo | A credit balance that resets monthly, with no rollover |
| Typical AI thumbnail tool | $28 to $80 / mo | Credits, and an edit costs the same as a brand new image |
| Design tool with AI | $18 / mo | A monthly cap on AI images, then you stop |
| ViralRank included | $0 to us | Uncapped. You pay the API providers directly, at their price |
Running costs are yours and they are real. Expect roughly $25 to $35 a month in Apify usage for a full watchlist, less if you track fewer creators or pull less often. You set both in Settings. Nothing is marked up, and nothing is capped.
