Aubrium vs CreatorHouse: which is better for finding viral reels?
CreatorHouse goes deep on the Instagram and TikTok accounts you track. Aubrium is a library of Instagram reels from accounts your size. Here's how they compare.
In Aubrium's library, read on 22 October 2026, there's a reel from a horse-care account in the UK, @hanna…, with 3,537 followers. The reel has 51,458,999 views. Its hook is one line: "Oh, would you look at this?"
Would that account have been on your list of creators to watch? That question is most of the difference between these two tools. CreatorHouse tracks the Instagram and TikTok accounts you choose (creators it suggests in your niche, or any public handle) and goes deep on each one: every video transcribed, every hook labelled. Aubrium is a library of 286,620 Instagram posts that took off, from 196,476 creators with 1,000 to 100,000 followers. You search it by niche, country and account size.
Fair warning: we make Aubrium, so this is our page. We read CreatorHouse's site, pricing, terms and blog on 22 October 2026. We haven't used its app, so everything we say about it is what it says about itself. It's also one of the ten tools in the best tools to find viral reels.
Pick CreatorHouse if you post on Instagram and TikTok, already know which accounts to learn from, and want every video on that list transcribed with its hook labelled. Pick Aubrium if you post on Instagram and want viral reels from accounts you've never heard of, filtered by niche, country and size. CreatorHouse starts at $14.99 a week or $39 a month. Aubrium starts at $49 a month.
A searchable library of Instagram posts that took off, from creators with 1,000 to 100,000 followers, filtered by niche, country and size.
Tracks the Instagram and TikTok accounts you add, from its suggestions for your niche or any public handle, transcribes every video and labels its hook.
Do you need to know the accounts before you start?
With CreatorHouse you start from a list. It suggests creators in your niche based on your audience, you can add any public Instagram or TikTok handle, and you can track as many as you like.1 Then it goes deep. Its blog says it scores every reel against that account's median views and flags anything at 2x or more as an outlier, a reel that did far better than the account usually does.5 Its own review of Sandcastles names "research beyond your watchlist" as one place Sandcastles is ahead.4
With Aubrium you start from a niche. You don't need any names. You pick from 360 niches, then a country and an account size, and you see what took off for creators you may never have heard of. A reel gets into the library when it reaches at least twice its creator's follower count and at least 10,000 views.
The orange bar is the hardest one to build a list for. Those 23,495 posts come from accounts with under 2,000 followers. To track one of them, you'd need to know it exists, or have it suggested to you. When an account with 3,537 followers gets 51 million views, the idea did the work, not the follower count. That's the reel worth studying.
If you already know who you want to learn from, though, a list is all you need. Then CreatorHouse's depth on each account is the point.

How we did this
We read creatorhouse.app on 22 October 2026: the home page, pricing, terms, free tools and three of its own blog posts. We didn't sign up or use the app, so everything about CreatorHouse here is what its own site says, and prices are as its pricing page prints them. It may have changed since.
Aubrium's numbers come from its own library on 22 October 2026, counting the posts members can see. Aubrium makes this page.
