Social Forge

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.
