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.

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.

$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. viral.app

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.

Compare PostRadar with viral.app for UGC campaign tracking, creative analytics, creator payouts, and pricing.

viral.app is a campaign operating system. PostRadar is the tracker that tells you what to brief next.

viral.app is built to own the whole creator program: finding creators, posting jobs, onboarding, tracking, paying and reporting. If you want one tool to run all of that, it is a serious option.

PostRadar does less on purpose. You already found your creators. You already pay them. What you don't have is a clean answer to two questions every week: who hasn't posted yet, and which kind of video actually worked. PostRadar is built around those two questions.

The decision is about how much of the program you want software to run

Finding creators

viral.app has a marketplace where you post jobs and creators apply. PostRadar has no marketplace. You bring your own creators, add their handles, and we follow their posts from there.

Creative insight

viral.app has an AI-powered tagging engine across its analytics. PostRadar's whole analytics view is built around one question: which kind of video wins. You spend two seconds per post marking the hook, format, length and call to action, then compare hundreds of posts by hook type in one click. We hide any group with fewer than five posts, so a single lucky video doesn't turn into next week's brief.

Paying creators

viral.app handles payouts and invoicing for you. PostRadar gives you a payout ledger (flat fee, per post, or per 1,000 views) and locks the view count on a date so the number can't change after you pay. You still send the money yourself.

Choose viral.app if...

You want one platform to source, hire, track and pay creators. You need Snapchat or Facebook coverage, an API, or automated payments and invoices. You have the budget for a $99 to $499/month tool and a team that will use all of it.

Choose PostRadar if...

You already have creators and a spreadsheet that's starting to break. You care most about knowing who is late and which hooks and formats bring views, so next week's brief is based on data instead of a guess. You'd rather pay $39 to $99 a month for that than pay for a marketplace you won't use.

The simple test: if your biggest problem is finding creators, look at viral.app. If your biggest problem is knowing what's working with the creators you have, PostRadar is the better fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between PostRadar and viral.app?

viral.app runs the whole creator program, including hiring and paying creators. PostRadar focuses on tracking posts, creator quotas, and creative analytics (which hook and format win), with a payout ledger you can pay from.

Is PostRadar a viral.app alternative?

Yes, if you already have creators and mainly need tracking, reporting and payout math. No, if you need a creator marketplace or automated payments.

Do my creators need to sign up for PostRadar?

No. Add a handle or paste a link. It works for posts that don't tag you and for faceless accounts.

Does PostRadar support Snapchat or Facebook?

Not today. PostRadar covers TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
