Been doing creator research lately and follower count just doesn't tell you much — Instagram only shows stats for your own account. So I built a small Chrome extension that overlays analytics on any public profile: median views, posting consistency, engagement rate, posting-time heatmap, and a head-to-head comparison for when I'm deciding between two creators. Also added single reel video downloads and PDF report exports along the way.

Made most of it free since I built it for myself first — 6 scans a day, all the analytics, comparisons, and single video downloads included. Only bulk downloading and full profile export are paid.

Curious what you all usually check before a partnership — still improving this.

I kept wanting to check how a creator's reels were actually performing.

Median views. Posting consistency. Best time to post.

But Instagram only shows your own stats and third-party tools wanted $50+/month for something I'd use occasionally.

So I built Viralytics.

It overlays directly on any Instagram profile:

• Median views + a "relative success" score (not averages skewed by outliers)
• Sort/filter reels by views, engagement rate, or date
• Posting-time heatmap
• Head-to-head creator comparison
• One-click PDF export

Free for basic stats. Paid tier unlocks the deeper analytics.

Would love feedback especially from anyone doing creator research.

What's missing that you'd actually pay for?
