The Bottom Line

Viral is a content monitoring tool for teams tracking trends across social platforms. It's not an ad account analytics tool. If you want to know what's going viral across TikTok and Instagram, Viral is built for that.

Wilow works the other way round: it looks at your own Meta ad account and tells you what is working, ranked and AI-tagged, with a free ad library alongside it for checking what competitors are running. It does not monitor viral trends and does not cover TikTok. Free to start, no credit card required.
