How Cluely runs UGC: 33 creator accounts, sampled

Cluely UGC program in numbers

Every figure counts the 33 confirmed and likely accounts. View figures come from the 25 sampled TikTok videos only and are lower bounds; Instagram view counts are not public.

What the sample shows about Cluely's program

A sample can show who the creators are and how their posts are marked. It cannot show how often they post or how the whole program performs, so those numbers are left out rather than estimated.

• Nano creators carry the program. The median creator has 2.2K followers. 18 of 33 accounts with a known count sit between 1,000 and 10,000, 8 are under 1,000 and 0 have over 100,000.
• No program hashtag in use. None of the sampled posts carried a Cluely-specific partner or ambassador hashtag, so creators are attributed from ad disclosures, paid-partnership labels and repeated, disclosed brand posts.
• Creators on both platforms. We attributed 25 accounts on TikTok and 8 on Instagram. That split reflects how deep each search went, not the program's real platform mix.
• The program is live. 1 of the 34 sampled posts were published in the 90 days to 28 August 2026, the latest on 28 August 2026. The search included a last-month pass, so this shows the program is active, not how often creators post.
• Sampled TikTok videos drew a median of 257K views. The 25 sampled videos drew 21M views between them and 25 videos passed 100,000. That is a lower bound on the program's reach, not its total.

Cluely's per-video pay is not public. For typical rates by creator size, see our UGC rates benchmarks.

Who the creators are

Follower counts are each account's public count on 28 August 2026. 100% of accounts with a detected language post in English.

How Cluely creators mark their posts

The search looked for these markers, so read the mix as which signals creators use, not as a disclosure rate.

Cluely has no program hashtag in the sample, so accounts are attributed from disclosed posts that tag the brand and from repeat brand posts. The brand name alone never attributes an account, because brand names collide with common words, other products and personal names. US rules on this are summarised in FTC disclosure and paid partnership; program hashtags across 97 brands compares naming conventions.

Format and caption hooks in the sample

By caption, the leading hook types are hashtags or tags only (88%) and relatable reaction or POV (6%), across 34 sampled posts. With a sample this size, read these as the shape of the program rather than precise shares.

Hook type is classified from the opening line of each caption. On-screen text and the spoken hook are not public data, so this is the caption hook only. For how hooks are scored in paid social, see hook rate, or draft your own with the UGC hook generator.

Where the data is thin

• This is a sample, not a census: 25 TikTok videos and 9 Instagram posts. Most accounts were read for one or two brand posts, so posting cadence, active accounts, hit rate and dedicated accounts are not reported on this page.
• View figures are lower bounds: public view counts on the sampled TikTok videos only. Instagram hides view counts from logged-out visitors, so Instagram posts carry no view figure. That is unknown, not zero views.
• Posts were found by searching for paid markers (#ad, paid-partnership labels and program hashtags), so the marker mix on this page shows which markers creators use, not how often the brand's creators disclose.
• Web search surfaces bigger, more-viewed accounts more readily than small ones, so this sample likely over-represents established creators compared with a full scan of the program.
• The oldest brand post in the sample is from May 2025. The program may be older; this is the earliest post we found, not a launch date.
• Cluely's per-video pay is not public, and public view counts include any paid boosting.

Method

UGC Agent searched the public web for TikTok videos that carry Cluely's program hashtags or tag the brand with #ad, #sponsored or a paid-partnership label, read 25 TikTok video pages from counted accounts, and searched Instagram for posts that tag the brand with the same markers. A language model screened each post for a paid relationship with this brand and removed other companies with the same name. Every account was then scored on public evidence with the same confirmed, likely and possible rules used across the dataset, and only confirmed and likely accounts are counted.

The fully scanned brands in the dataset read up to 40 recent videos per account and report complete 30-day windows. Cluely was measured from a sample instead, which is why this page reports creator size and markers but no cadence, activity or total views. Read the full rules in the dataset method.
