Social Forge
Creator, Trend & Ad Research
Free · In‑App Purchases
Look up any creator, spot what is going viral and see the ads competitors are running across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more. Start with free credits.
Social Forge is a social media research app for marketers, agencies, brands and creators. Look up creators, trends, posts and competitors' ads across major networks from one search, without connecting any account.
Most lookups cost 1 credit, and the price is shown before anything runs. Start with 150 free credits. No card needed.
SEARCH CREATORS AND TOPICS
Type a handle once and see that creator on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads and Bluesky, with followers, engagement and recent posts side by side. Search a topic across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Threads and Reddit, or use Find creators to search by name.
COMPARE AND AUDIT CREATORS
Put two creators head to head, even on different networks, and compare audience, engagement and views. Run a TikTok audience audit, or a TikTok or Instagram engagement audit, for deeper numbers, priced on the button first.
CATCH TRENDS WHILE THEY ARE STILL RISING
Trending TikToks, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, refreshed through the day and ranked by how fast views are climbing. Plus breakout hashtags and Hacker News and GitHub trends.
- Sound Radar: the videos using a TikTok sound or Instagram audio, its top creators and whether it is rising.
- Content Ideas: enter a topic and country to see related TikTok search suggestions and matching videos.
RESEARCH COMPETITORS' ADS
Ad research searches the Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ad libraries in one place. Save ads and posts to private Research Boards with notes.
HEAR WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT A BRAND
- Brand Watch: mention digests for a brand and up to two competitors from TikTok, X, YouTube and Reddit, on a schedule with a monthly credit cap you set.
- Reddit Listening: what Reddit says about a brand or topic.
- Instagram tagged posts: the public posts that tag an account.
LIVE MONITORS ON PRO AND BUSINESS
Track creators, competitors and subreddits. Social Forge checks them on a schedule and sends a notification when something new is posted.
POSTS, SHOPS AND MORE
- Post intelligence: paste a post link for its metrics, author details and a full video transcript where available.
- Comment Pulse (Pro and Business): what viewers talk about and ask in a YouTube video's comments.
- Ask: type a question in plain English. Social Forge picks the lookup and shows its cost before it runs.
- TikTok Shop research: products, reviews, units sold, estimated GMV and the creators showcasing them.
- LinkedIn company pages and their latest posts.
- Web tools: turn a web page into clean text, data or a screenshot.
