Paste any channel or Instagram account. Viralyst flags every video that outran its creator's own average, explains why it won, and writes your version.
Paste any YouTube channel handle and see its top 3 outlier videos instantly.
Roughly 0.35% of uploads beat their channel's own average by 5× or more. Those are ideas the audience already voted for. Viralyst finds them so you don't scroll for hours.
Scan, decode, script and track. Every tool is built around one question: what is the audience already rewarding?
Every video scored vs the channel median. See exactly which ones the algorithm pushed — and by how much.
Hook, emotion trigger, title pattern, and 3 ready-to-adapt angles — generated in seconds from the actual transcript.
Scan any public Instagram account for viral reel outliers. Our AI actually watches the video — visuals, audio, pacing — and decodes the hook, then writes short-form scripts built for the first 3 seconds.
Add up to 10 channels. Get a daily email every morning with their newest outlier videos before you start filming.
Turn any viral analysis into a complete word-for-word script — modeled on what already worked: hook (0–15s), sections with timing, CTA, B-roll ideas, and thumbnail concept.
Manage multiple creators from one account. Give each client their own workspace, niche watchlists, and personalized scripts — so research for a fitness brand never bleeds into a SaaS client. Built for agencies and freelancers.
Viralyst finds the Reels that out-played an account's median, then has AI watch the video itself: the first-second hook, pacing, on-screen text and the moment people stop scrolling.
Drop in a YouTube handle like @mkbhd or a niche keyword like "AI productivity". No account connection needed.
We scan the last 50–200 videos and score each one against the channel median. Videos with 5x+ scores are your gold.
Click any video. The AI reads the transcript and extracts the hook, emotion, title pattern, and 3 content angles for your channel.
Generate a full, proven-to-work script adapted to your niche in one click. Go from research to ready-to-film in under 2 minutes.
We're new, so instead of stock testimonials, here's exactly how the scores work and how your data is handled.
Every outlier score is a video's views divided by that channel's own median. No black box — you can verify the math on any channel yourself.
Your scripts, niche profile, and saved analyses are private to your account. We never sell your data or train on your ideas.
The free tier needs no card. Cancel any time in one click, and export your outliers to CSV whenever you want.
Cancel anytime. Pay from any country, in your currency.
An outlier score measures how much a video outperformed a channel's average. A 5x score means that video got 5× the channel's median views — meaning the algorithm pushed it hard. Higher scores = stronger signal.
No. Viralyst analyzes any public YouTube channel without you connecting anything. Just paste a handle like @mkbhd and we do the rest.
Free gives you 10 scans/month, one Instagram scan, one AI analysis, and basic outlier detection. Creator unlocks unlimited YouTube scans, 15 Instagram scans/month, 100 YouTube AI analyses and 30 reel video analyses a month, script generation, niche-wide scanning, and the competitor watchlist.
When you click Analyze on an outlier video, we fetch the video's transcript and run it through Claude AI. It extracts the opening hook, emotion trigger, title pattern, and generates 3 hooks and 3 content angles tailored to your niche.
Yes. Free accounts get one Instagram scan to try it; Creator includes 15 scans a month and Agency 100. Reels are scored against the account's own median plays, and our AI actually watches outlier reels (visuals, audio, pacing) to decode the hook and format, then writes short-form scripts adapted to your niche. Because that means running the actual video through a model, reel analyses are metered separately from YouTube ones — 30 a month on Creator, 150 on Agency.
Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel from your account settings and you keep access until the end of your billing period.
Channel scan, AI breakdown and a ready-to-film script, in under two minutes.
