Cohley is a broad enterprise creator-content platform with managed services. It covers UGC, reviews, product seeding, rights, creator recruiting, contracting, payments, and custom campaign analysis.
viral.app is a leaner performance UGC control plane. It focuses on tracked posts, campaign analytics, payout rules, creator operations, and API/agent workflows for teams that want software leverage.
Where teams feel it
The real problem starts after the first creator says yes
Enterprise content suites can cover many jobs. The tradeoff is speed, transparency, and whether the tool is focused enough for high-volume performance UGC.
That work gets brittle in a spreadsheet because the data has to move between people:
Growth wants to know which hooks, creators, and formats are worth scaling.
Creator ops needs a clean view of who posted and who needs follow-up.
Finance needs payout numbers that are not rebuilt from screenshots.
Leadership wants a campaign report without asking five people for context.
Creator roster
Track creators as campaign participants, rather than sourcing-list names.
Campaign analytics
Read short-form performance in the same workspace where campaign decisions happen.
Payout logic
Turn performance terms into payout records your team can review later.
Core comparison

Most comparison pages try to win every row. This one is simpler: Cohley is stronger for broad enterprise content generation and managed services. viral.app is stronger for focused performance UGC operations.

$120 migration gift

Switching tools should not mean rebuilding account lists, tracking rules, and onboarding notes by hand. viral.app gives teams a white-glove migration path, a personalized onboarding call, a 7-day free trial, and a satisfaction guarantee before the switch becomes permanent.
One more thing: how we handle your data
Private campaign data stays private
Your data is not sold, reused, or shared in any way. With viral.app, all your tracked accounts, tracked videos, creators, and campaign data stay private.
viral.app keeps customer environments separated. Your tracked accounts, videos, creator rosters, payout rules, prompts, search queries, and campaign data are not used to generate results, insights, or AI content for another customer.
We also do not sell your private campaign data. The boring version is the right version here: your workspace data is used to provide the product, support the workflows you asked us to run, and meet legal or payment obligations. For the full policy language, read the viral.app privacy policy.
