- What's included in the 3 free competitor analyses?
- Each free search delivers the complete ranked post list for one public Instagram account — full viral scores, engagement data, post types, and dates. There's no artificial limitation on the free plan; you get the same data as paid users for your first 3 searches.
- Do I need to enter a credit card to get the free analyses?
- No. Creating a Viral Finder account and running your 3 free analyses requires only your email address. No payment information is collected until you choose to upgrade to a paid plan.
- What happens after I use my 3 free competitor analyses?
- You'll see a prompt to upgrade to a paid plan when you hit your limit. The Freelancer plan ($13.99/month) gives you 25 searches per month; the Agency plan ($27.99/month) gives you 100. There's no automatic billing — you choose when and if to upgrade.
- Is the free competitor analysis the same quality as the paid version?
- Yes. The data, viral score algorithm, and interface are identical on free and paid plans. The only difference is the number of searches available per month.
- What's the best way to use my 3 free competitor analyses?
- Use them to analyze your 3 most important competitors — the accounts your target audience actively follows. This immediately gives you a competitive picture and lets you validate whether Viral Finder's data quality meets your needs before committing to a paid plan.
