Track TikTok competitors and see which videos take off
Paste a competitor's TikTok profile link. Firnway keeps watching the account and tells you when a video gets far more views than that account normally gets.
Paste a profile link. No creator login needed.
Why a view count on its own tells you little
A video with 200,000 views is a huge hit for one account and an ordinary Tuesday for another. Scrolling a competitor’s profile shows you the numbers but not what they mean.
The useful question is how a video did against what that account usually gets. A video at 6 times its account’s normal is worth studying, whatever the raw number is.
How Firnway tracks a TikTok competitor
- Paste the profile link. Firnway imports the account’s videos. You do not need the competitor’s login.
- It sets a normal for the account. Usual performance is the median views of up to 20 earlier videos on that account. A median, so one viral video cannot drag the normal upward.
- It scores every video against that normal. A video at 2x or more is a winner. At 5x or more it is a huge winner.
- It keeps watching. When a new video breaks out, or the account changes how often it posts, you see it under what changed since your last visit.
A competitor breakout, as it looks
A new quick gel demo has about 960,000 views. Saltleaf’s usual video gets about 200,000. That is 4.8x better than their normal, so it shows up as a competitor breakout.
The next question is why it worked: the hook, the topic, the format. Firnway labels those on each video so you can compare winners side by side.
What you can see
- Which competitor videos are beating that account’s normal, and by how much.
- Whether a competitor has gone quiet or is posting less than their usual rhythm.
- The hooks, topics and formats their winners share.
- Your own accounts next to theirs. Competitors are tracked separately, so they never change your own numbers.
What you cannot see
Firnway cannot show a competitor’s private analytics such as watch time, reach, audience makeup or sales. When TikTok does not show a number, Firnway leaves it blank instead of guessing.
Questions
- Do I need the competitor's login or permission?
- No. You only paste the profile link. The competitor does not need to log in, connect anything or approve anything.
- How does it decide a video is a breakout?
- It divides the video's views by the account's usual views, the median of up to 20 earlier videos. 2x or more is a winner. A video also needs at least 1,000 views, and the account needs at least 5 earlier videos, so tiny accounts do not produce noise.
- Can I track my own account too?
- Yes. Your own accounts and your competitors are tracked side by side but scored separately.
- What does it cost?
- Pricing is not published yet.
