What viral.app is
A brand posts a job on the Canvas UGC marketplace inside viral.app, reviews applications that carry each creator's portfolio videos, connected accounts, languages and location, then chats, hires and onboards creators into campaigns. Campaign videos are tracked from public links across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels and Snapchat without a creator login. The brand sets base fees, CPM rates, milestone bonuses and caps, and viral.app calculates payouts, invoices creators and pays them in 50+ currencies by bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo or USDC.
viral.app says it has tracked 1M+ accounts and 50M+ videos and issued $5M+ in creator payouts, names app companies such as Quizlet, Jenni AI, Brainly and StudyFlash in testimonials, and states its data is hosted in Germany. It also offers a managed program run by its own team, starting at $20k/month. It is a different company from the agency called The Viral App.

Who it suits, and who it does not
Suits: Apps and brands running high-volume, performance-paid UGC programs that want hiring, video tracking and creator payouts in one tool.
