Getting Started
Veriscore Onboarding Guide
Everything you need to start verifying influencer authenticity — from account setup to reading your first report.
Account Setup
Creating a Veriscore account takes under two minutes. Here's what to expect:
- 1
Sign up with email or Google
Go to veriscore.io/signup and create your account. Email verification is required before you can run analyses.
- 2
Add a payment method
A card on file is required to activate your account and receive your sign-up credit bonus. You are not charged at this step.
- 3
Receive your free credits
Once your card is added, 50 free credits are automatically applied to your account. These are enough for one Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube analysis.
- 4
Run your first analysis
Navigate to the dashboard and enter any supported influencer handle to get started.
Credit System
Veriscore uses a credit-based model — no subscriptions, no monthly fees. You buy credits when you need them and they never expire.
Credit cost per analysis
24-hour cache: If the same handle on the same platform is analysed within 24 hours by anyone on Veriscore, your credits are not deducted — you get the cached result instantly at no cost.

Running an Analysis
Veriscore currently supports Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), and YouTube. Here's how to run an analysis:
- 1
Select a platform
Choose from Instagram, TikTok, X, or YouTube in the platform dropdown on the dashboard.
- 2
Enter the handle
Type the influencer's username or handle — without the @ symbol. For YouTube, you can use the channel's custom URL handle (e.g. mkbhd) or paste the full channel URL.
- 3
Confirm credit cost and submit
The credit cost is shown before you submit. Click Run Analysis. Your credits are deducted immediately.
- 4
Wait for processing
Most analyses complete in under 2 minutes. Enterprise and Scale accounts receive priority processing, so their analyses are picked up first when multiple jobs are queued.
- 5
View your report
Once complete, the report appears in your analysis history and you're taken to the full report page.
Reading Your Report
Each report contains several layers of analysis. Here's how to interpret them:
Authenticity Score
A score from 0–100 measuring the probability of inauthenticity. Lower is better. A score of 14 means 14% of signals suggest inauthentic activity.
Legit (score 0–25)
Low fraud risk. Proceed with confidence.
Monitor (score 26–50)
Some concerns present. Review manually before committing budget.
Sketchy (score 51–75)
Likely inauthentic audience. Avoid unless additional verification.
Run (score 76–100)
High confidence of fraud. Reject immediately.
IREM — Inferred Real Engaged Monthly Audience
IREM filters out estimated fake or ghost followers to give you a realistic picture of how many people actually engage with this creator's content each month. Use IREM — not follower count — when assessing true reach.
Signal Categories
Each platform analyses a different set of fraud signals. The report breaks these into weighted categories so you can see where risk is concentrated — e.g. follower quality vs. engagement patterns vs. content authenticity.
Red flags are listed individually with context so you can make an informed judgment, not just react to a number.
AI Insight
Each report includes a qualitative summary generated by Claude (Anthropic's AI). This section synthesises the raw signals into plain-language findings and recommends specific next steps — e.g. "request audience demographic screenshots directly from the creator" or "cross-reference against public engagement audit tools."
