Every feature runs
on two scores.
One number says the video beat its own creator. The other says it beat the whole niche. When both light up, that's a Dual High — and every tool below reads off that math, across 23,000+ TikToks and YouTube Shorts.
★ DUAL HIGHTwo scores. One verdict.
Every video in the index is graded against two baselines at once. A big account going big is noise; a format outperforming both its creator and its niche is a signal you can copy.
Creator Score
How far a video beat the creator's own median — big account or not.
Niche Score
The same video against its whole niche. A big account, or a winning format?
Dual High
Both scores at once — the strongest signal in short form. One click filters the index to them.
Signals, not spreadsheets
Views, likes, shares and save-rate as plain flags: Loved, High Engagement, Save-worthy.
23,000+ TikToks, scored twice.
The corpus behind every verdict: 23,000+ videos across 12 active niches, each one graded against its creator and its niche — scores and baselines recomputed daily. Search it, browse it by pattern, or read the rolled-up reports.
Search the vault
Query by niche, format, hook, duration or score floor — either platform. Both scores on every result.
Patterns
How often each hook, format, emotion and audio actually produces a Dual High, with sample sizes. Free.
Trending & rollups

The structure, decoded.
A viral video is a structure wearing a topic. ViralVault breaks the structure out so you can keep the mechanics and swap in your niche.

Questions, answered.
What's the difference between the Creator Score and the Niche Score?
The Creator Score grades a video against the creator's own rolling median — 7.43× means 7.43 times their normal numbers. The Niche Score grades the same video against the whole niche. Together they separate a big account being big from a format genuinely winning.
What is a Dual High?
A video whose Creator Score and Niche Score both clear the bar at once. It outperformed the creator's own baseline and the niche baseline — the strongest copy-this signal in short-form. The dual-high filter shows only these.
What do I get on the free tier?
3 scores a day, the Niche Score on every video, the Creator Score on 5 videos a day, 3 AI hook generations a day, 3 guided scripts a month, 1 Creator Scout a month with the newest 6 videos revealed, your last 10 Scoreboard videos per platform, 1 board with 10 saves, the top 10 trending videos per niche, and the Chrome extension with the Niche Score. No card required.
Does ViralVault work for YouTube Shorts?
Yes — Shorts get the same two-baseline scoring. They appear in search behind the platform filter, in the dashboard feed, on a separate Your Scoreboard tab, and the Chrome extension badges Shorts in the player. Patterns, Scout, format clustering and Ads Intelligence are still TikTok-only.
Does the Chrome extension cost anything?
No — it's free to install on every plan, including free. The Niche Score badge is free forever; a Pro license unlocks the Creator Score on the same badge.
Can AI agents use ViralVault?
Yes. ViralVault ships a remote MCP server with 20 tools — format search, creator scorecards, trending sounds, hook generation and more. Any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) connects with a personal access token from your account.
