- How does Viral Finder find an account's top posts?
- Viral Finder retrieves all recent posts from a public Instagram account and ranks them by viral score — a metric that measures outperformance relative to that account's own baseline. The "top posts" are those with the highest scores, not the most recent or most liked.
- Why does ranking by viral score find better "top posts" than filtering by likes?
- Ranking by likes gives you the posts that benefited from the account's largest audience or widest distribution at any given time — often outliers. Ranking by viral score surfaces posts that consistently outperformed that account's own standard, regardless of when they were published or how the algorithm distributed them.
- Can I find top posts from accounts I don't follow?
- Yes. Viral Finder works on any public Instagram account regardless of your relationship to it. You can find top posts from competitors, industry leaders, or any public account without following them.
- How far back does the top posts finder look?
- Viral Finder retrieves the most recent posts available from Instagram's public data for each account, typically covering the last several months of content. Older posts may not appear if they've been deleted or aged out of the accessible data window.
- Is the top posts finder included in the free tier?
- Yes. All 3 free searches include full top-posts data ranked by viral score. No credit card required.
