Question 1

What is Aubrium?

Accepted Answer

Aubrium shows you viral reels from Instagram accounts just like yours, so you always know what to post next. We look through millions of reels and pull out the ones that reached far more people than the account has followers. You pick your niche, scroll the ideas, and save the ones you want to make your own. There's nothing to install and you never give us your Instagram password. It all works from your browser, on your laptop or your phone.

Question 2

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Aubrium is a monthly subscription, with three plans: Lite, Growth and Pro. Every plan has every feature. Plans differ in how many Spark Credits you get each month and how many Instagram accounts you can add. There are no setup fees and no contracts — you can cancel whenever you like. For today's prices, see our pricing page.

Question 3

What does my subscription include?

Accepted Answer

Every plan includes: Find Ideas — the full library of viral reels, with every filter and sort · Collections — save the ideas you like and come back to them any time · My Rivals — follow the accounts you care about, checked all month · My Searches — every topic you've searched Instagram for, ready to search again · Performance — see how your own account is doing and what to fix next · Spark Credits every month, to make carousels, scripts, hooks and remixes, to track rivals and to search any topic If you want more Spark Credits in a month, you can add them any time.

Question 4

Which platforms does Aubrium support?

Accepted Answer

Aubrium is built for Instagram — reels, carousels and posts. It doesn't cover TikTok, YouTube or other platforms yet. That said, a reel idea that works on Instagram usually works on TikTok and YouTube Shorts too, so plenty of creators use it for all three. You can use Aubrium in any modern web browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. There's no app to download.

Question 5

Where can I watch how each tool works?

Accepted Answer

Five short videos, one for each tool. Each one walks you through it, start to finish, in about a minute. Find Ideas Find viral reels from accounts like yours. vimeo:1234173783 Create Turn an idea into a carousel, hooks or a script. vimeo:1234173784 Performance See how your reels match what works in your niche. vimeo:1234173782 My Rivals See where a rival is ahead — and get a ping when their reel breaks out. vimeo:1234173781

Question 6

How do I find viral reel ideas?

Accepted Answer

vimeo:1234173783 Open Find Ideas — it's the first thing you see when you log in. Pick a category that matches your niche, like fitness, food or travel. · Scroll the list. The reels at the top reached the most people compared to how many followers the account has. · Tap any reel to see why it worked, then save the ones you like. That's it. You can narrow things down further with filters whenever you want.

Question 7

What makes a reel "viral"?

Accepted Answer

A reel is viral when it reaches far more people than the account has followers. Instagram shows reels to people who don't follow you. When a reel gets many times more views than the account has followers, it means Instagram kept showing it to strangers — because they watched it, shared it and wanted more. That's the clearest sign an idea works. For example, an account with 10,000 followers posts a reel that gets 160,000 views. That's 16× their follower count — a viral reel. You'll see that number in the Virality column. A reel only makes it into the library if it reached at least 2× the account's followers and at least 10,000 views. Photos and carousels work a little differently, because Instagram doesn't show them to strangers in the same way. For those, we compare their likes to what an account that size normally gets. We focus on accounts with 1,000 to 100,000 followers — creators your size, not celebrities. When one of their reels travels that far, it's the idea that worked, not the fame. That's what makes it worth borrowing. A search you run yourself reaches further: accounts up to 1,000,000 followers, and a reel also counts when it got 3× the views that account usually gets (at least 50,000).

Question 8

How do I filter and sort the ideas?

Accepted Answer

Open Filters — there are dozens to mix and match. A few favourites: Category — pick one or more niches, like fitness, food or travel · Country — only see creators from where you are · Viral multiple — only show reels that went at least this viral · Shares — sort by shares to find the reels people sent to their friends There's also an AI filter, so you can hide AI-generated content or see only that. And many more — format, hook style, account size, date and others. To sort, tap any column heading. Tap it again to flip the order. Want to see more or less on screen? Use Columns to show or hide any column.

Question 9

How do I save ideas to Collections?

Accepted Answer

Tap Save on any reel and choose a collection, or make a new one right there. Collections are just folders for your ideas. You might have one for "next week", one for hooks you like, and one per series you're planning. Find them all under Collections in the menu. You can rename or delete a collection whenever you like. Need your ideas somewhere else? Use Export to download the list as a spreadsheet (CSV).

Question 10

How do I see the full breakdown of an idea?

Accepted Answer

Tap any reel in the list. A panel opens with everything we know about it: The numbers — views, likes, comments and engagement compared to followers · The hook — the first few seconds, and whether it's spoken or shown on screen · The transcript — every word said in the reel · How it was made — the format, pace, style and tone · The caption and hashtags — with a button to copy them · The audio it used There's also a link to open the original post on Instagram.

Question 11

Can I watch the reels inside Aubrium?

Accepted Answer

No. The reels belong to the creators who made them, so we don't host their videos. When you want to watch one, tap Open on Instagram and it opens the original post. Everything else — the numbers, the hook, the transcript and how it was made — is right there in Aubrium, so you only need Instagram to see the video itself.

Question 12

What if I can't find my niche in the library?

Accepted Answer

Search it as a topic. Type it in the Find Ideas search box — for example, "sourdough baking for beginners" — and tap Search a topic under the results. We search 12 versions of it, keep the reels that beat their creator's usual audience. They show as they come in, and it's done in about a minute. A search uses Spark Credits, and a search that finds no viral reels costs nothing. You always see the cost before you confirm, and current prices are on our pricing page.

Question 13

What is tracking a rival?

Accepted Answer

vimeo:1234173781 A rival is any Instagram account you want to learn from — a competitor, a creator you admire, or someone a little ahead of you. Go to My Rivals, type their @username and tap Track. We pull their recent posts and rank them against their own normal, so you can see straight away which posts really worked for them. After that we check their reels every 90 minutes and add anything new. Tracking a rival uses Spark Credits for 30 days at a time — current prices are on our pricing page. We remind you three days before the end; then it pauses by itself, and you can resume it for another 30 days. They're never notified, and nobody else can see who you track.

Question 14

How do I search a topic?

Accepted Answer

A search finds the viral reels about any topic — a subject, a trend, even a place. Type it in the Find Ideas search box and tap Search a topic under the results — or tap it in My Searches. We show you the 12 searches we'll run — remove any that aren't quite right — and the cost, before anything is spent. Its reels show as they come in — the first within seconds, all of them in about a minute — then in Find Ideas, the most viral first. A place ("greece", "top restaurants in dubai") opens on creators from everywhere; anything else opens on your region, and you can change it like any filter. Want what's new later? Tap Search again: it adds the new reels and marks them New. A search that finds no viral reels costs nothing. Current prices are on our pricing page.

Question 15

What should I search for?

Accepted Answer

The words your ideal viewer would actually type into Instagram search. Be specific. "Protein breakfast ideas" finds better reels than "food". · Use your viewer's words, not industry words. "How to sleep better" beats "sleep hygiene". · Name the subject, not the goal. "Instagram growth tips" finds more than "how to go viral" — we do this for you, but it helps. · Places work too. "Greece", "Lisbon food", "top restaurants in dubai". If one of the 12 searches looks off, remove it before you tap Search.

Question 16

How many rivals can I track, and how many searches can I run?

Accepted Answer

You can track up to 100 rivals and run up to 30 searches a day, one at a time, on any plan. Tracking a rival is paid in Spark Credits for 30 days at a time, and they're checked every 90 minutes. Each search is paid once; Search again is paid the same way. Current prices are on our pricing page.

Question 17

What are Spark Credits?

Accepted Answer

Spark Credits ("Sparks" for short) are what you use for the extra things you do in Aubrium. Your plan gives you a fresh batch of Sparks every month. You spend them when you: Create a carousel · Make my version of a viral post · Write hooks · Remix a trending reel or photo · Track a rival · Search a topic on Instagram For what each one costs today, see our pricing page. Searching the library, filtering, browsing and saving ideas never cost Sparks. That's all included in your plan. You always see the price before you spend anything. Your balance is shown at the top of the screen, and the full history is in your account.

Question 18

Which plan is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Every plan has every feature. Plans differ in how many Spark Credits you get each month and how many Instagram accounts you can add. Lite — for creators posting for fun or just starting out. · Growth — for creators posting several times a week who want a steady flow of new ideas. · Pro — for agencies and anyone running several accounts. Not sure? Start with Lite — you can move up any time. Prices, monthly Spark Credits and accounts for each plan are on our pricing page.

Question 19

Can I buy extra Spark Credits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you run low, you can buy a Spark Credits pack at any time from your account. Bigger Spark Credits packs come with extra Sparks on top. You'll find the current Spark Credits packs on our pricing page. If you find yourself buying Spark Credits packs every month, upgrading your plan is usually the better deal.

Question 20

Do Spark Credits expire?

Accepted Answer

It depends where they came from: Sparks from your plan last for that month. Anything you don't use doesn't roll over — you get a fresh batch when your plan renews. · Sparks you buy in a Spark Credits pack last for one year from the day you buy them. When you spend, we always use the Sparks that expire soonest first, so you never lose some while others sit unused. We'll also email you 30 days and 7 days before any bought Sparks expire.

Question 21

How do I cancel my plan?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Plan & Billing, then tap Cancel plan and confirm. Your plan stays active until the end of the month you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. Changed your mind before then? Tap Keep my plan on the same page. After your plan ends: Your Collections and everything you've saved stay in your account. · Any Sparks you bought in a Spark Credits pack still work until they expire. · The library and daily tracking pause until you subscribe again.

Question 22

How do I change my plan?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Plan & Billing, tap Change plan, then pick the plan you want. When you move up, the change starts straight away and your extra Sparks arrive right then. When you move down, the change starts at your next renewal, so you keep what you've paid for until then.
