How SocialSeal compares

SocialSeal vs Exolyt

Exolyt is a TikTok analytics and social intelligence tool: accounts, hashtags, sounds, influencers and what people say about a brand. SocialSeal helps brands make social content that gets found on five social platforms and in AI answers, across many countries and languages. It studies the videos, creators and competitors that win, finds creators who already rank and drafts briefs from what works.

Where Exolyt is stronger

  • Depth on TikTok accounts: audience by country, and by age and gender on Advanced, plus hashtags, sounds, comments and brand comparison.
  • Social listening on TikTok: what people say about a brand or topic, with sentiment and share of voice of the conversation.
  • Industry insights, data refreshed up to six times a day and at least a year of chart history on Advanced, and video transcriptions.
  • Influencer campaign tracking alongside its influencer database.
  • A free plan you can keep using, and ten team members on every plan.

Where SocialSeal is different

  • We start from demand that already exists, so every post and every creator is aimed at a search your buyers really make.
  • Instagram, YouTube, Douyin and Xiaohongshu sit next to TikTok, and AI answers next to all five, so you can compare markets in one place.
  • Follower count is a weak guide to who ranks: across 18,004 TikTok searches, 55% of first-place videos came from accounts under 10,000 followers. Picking creators by search performance brings small creators into view.
  • Briefs arrive ready for your team or a creator to shoot, and our experts can run the work with you.

Popular videos and top search results are different things

Across 18,140 TikTok searches, the most-viewed video in the top 20 was in first place in 6.2% of searches, close to the 5% you would expect by chance. The same words searched on the same day from two countries shared 24% of their top-20 videos overall.

Account and trend analytics show what is popular. Where you appear when someone searches has to be measured separately, from the country they search in.

How we know

  • 18,140 TikTok searches in 27 countries, top 20 results each; latest captures 21 November 2025 to 30 October 2026. Mostly travel and hospitality searches, plus finance, rental and consumer brands.
  • “Most-viewed” uses each video’s latest view count, not its count on the day of the search.
  • Country overlap: 13,191 comparisons of the same words on the same day in two countries, across all captures to 30 October 2026; 185 comparisons with identical results are left out.
  • We and our clients chose which searches to track, so they aren’t a random sample.
