Which apps does it work with?

TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Those three cover almost all the short video that brings people to an app.

What if my creators do not tag me?

That is the normal case, and it still works. We watch the accounts on your list instead of watching for mentions of your brand. Posts with no tag, and accounts with no face, are covered the same way.

$39 a month if you are on your own, $99 once you run a full list of creators, and $249 for agencies handling a few brands. No sales call and no yearly contract.

How does the free trial work?

Seven days on any plan, and you do not need a card. The trial covers one campaign and 500 posts, and exports unlock when you subscribe. The fair test is to load a campaign you already ran and see what it tells you about posts you already know.

PostRadar vs. spreadsheets

Q: Do my creators need to sign up?

No. You add their handle or paste a link, and we follow the public numbers from there. There is nothing for them to install, approve or log in to. Asking creators to sign up is the step that kills most tools like this, so there isn't one.

Q: Why not just use a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet cannot check view counts every day, cannot tell you a creator is two posts short, and cannot compare 400 posts by hook type in one click.

Compare PostRadar with tracking UGC campaigns in Google Sheets or Excel: view counts, creator quotas, creative analytics, and payouts.

With a spreadsheet

Free and already open
Fully flexible
Someone pastes view counts by hand
Late creators are easy to miss
Payouts use whatever number was there that day

With PostRadar

Add a handle or link, views update on their own
See who is behind on posts before you pay
Compare posts by hook, format and length in one click
View count locked on a payout date
A Monday email with what changed
Starts at $39/month

A spreadsheet is the right place to start. It stops working at about 15 creators.

Almost every UGC campaign starts in a sheet: one row per post, columns for creator, link, views, and amount owed. With five creators, that's fine.

Then it grows. Someone posts without tagging you. A view count goes stale. You pay against a number that has already changed. By 30 creators, nobody can say who is late.

What actually breaks

View counts

A spreadsheet can't check views. Someone has to open every link and type in the number. Posts keep getting views for days, so the number in the sheet is almost always out of date.

PostRadar checks views often while a post is new, then less once it settles down.

Who is behind

In a sheet, you find out a creator is two posts short when you go to pay them, if you notice at all. In PostRadar you set how many posts each creator owes you, and anyone behind shows up first.

What worked

You can add a "hook" column to your sheet. But comparing 400 posts by hook type means pivot tables, and a single viral video can make one hook look like a winner. PostRadar compares groups in one click and hides any group with fewer than five posts.

Payouts

Per-1,000-view deals are where sheets cost real money. If a creator's views keep rising after you pay, which number was right? PostRadar locks the view count on a date, so what you paid matches what you reported.

Custom columns and layouts	Tags only	Anything you want

Stay with a spreadsheet if...

You have fewer than 10 to 15 creators, pay flat fees, and don't mind updating views by hand once a week. It's free and it works.

Switch to PostRadar if...

You're past 15 creators, pay per 1,000 views, or spend more than an hour a week pasting numbers. Or you want to know which hooks and formats actually win before you write the next brief.

What it costs

Most tools like this start at $99 a month. PostRadar Solo is $39/month for 3 campaigns, 300 posts and 15 creators. Studio is $99/month for 2,000 posts and 75 creators.

If you pay creators $2 per 1,000 views across five million views, that's $10,000 a month in payouts. Studio is one percent of that.

There are no seats. Your creators never log in, so seats would make no sense.

Moving from a spreadsheet

Paste your links in as a batch, or add creator handles and we find their posts. The 7-day trial covers one campaign and 500 posts, so the fair test is to load a campaign you already ran and see what it tells you about posts you already know. No card needed.
