The MagicBrief alternative that's still here — and does the whole job.
MagicBrief shut down on July 31, 2026 and folded into Canva. ViralMojo is an active, standalone agent that goes and finds what's winning in your niche — organic and paid — decodes why it works, hands you a brief that names every test variable, and writes the hooks and scripts in your customers' own words. Same research job. A product that isn't going anywhere.

Choose MagicBrief if
- You mainly wanted a big pre-indexed swipe library (~12M ads) to browse, save, and tag by hand — the part Canva Grow absorbed.
- Your team already runs a manual discover → save → storyboard → AI-brief process and just wants it organized.
- You've made your peace with Canva — the workflow you had in MagicBrief now lives inside Canva Grow.
Choose ViralMojo if
- You want a product that isn't going anywhere — an active, standalone agent, not a tool that wound down into another suite.
- You want winners found for you live across organic and paid in your exact niche, not a saved catalog you scroll yourself.
- You want the full loop — decode each winner (plus audience sentiment, questions, buying signals, ICP) and get the hooks and scripts written in your customers' own words, not a workflow that stops at the brief.
Receipts, not claims — real ads, running right now.
This is the kind of winner the agent finds and decodes. Every row is a public, currently-running Meta Ad Library ad — click through and check. The days-live count is the tell: nobody pays to run an ad this long unless it converts.

What are marketers actually asking for?
Why an agent, not a library to scroll
“If you're spending hours scrolling the Ad Library by hand, exporting CSVs from Ads Manager every Monday, staring at a blank doc trying to write ad variation #14…”
Why signal beats guessing
“posting without knowing what's working in your niche is just noise. the agent gives you signal.”
Why live, not a saved catalog
“i genuinely think organic content is becoming one of the biggest moats in business — especially for apps + ecommerce brands.”
Why your exact niche
“You don't guess what to post. You check what's working in your niche right now, then make content that matches.”
Why decode, then adapt
“your competitors have already spent millions testing. you don't have to start from scratch — study what's working in your niche and adapt it.”
Why start from organic
“Start with $0 organic content on TikTok / IG. Post daily and find your natural winners.”
What else do teams compare MagicBrief with?
Most teams compare MagicBrief against adjacent ad research, swipe-file, and AI creative tools before choosing the workflow that fits their testing process.
Other MagicBrief alternatives worth knowing.
Not every team should land on ViralMojo — these are the other credible options for this job, in one honest line each.
Closest to MagicBrief's save-and-organize job — swipe file, boards, and briefs from a large ad library; from $59/mo.
Creative analytics on your own ad accounts — the performance-reporting side; needs spend history; from $250/mo.
Creative intelligence + Meta ad engine, priced by ad spend — from $129/mo.
Comparison pages have a trust problem — most shade the truth. Every competitor fact on this page is checked against public sources on the date shown, the ✕ marks on our own side are real, and the ads in the receipts table are public links you can verify. If anything here is out of date or unfair to the competitor, tell me and I'll fix it.

Should you switch from MagicBrief?
Yes — and with MagicBrief shut down, it's a place to land rather than a side-by-side swap. MagicBrief was an ad-research suite: a 12M-ad library you searched by hand, smart tags, and AI briefs. ViralMojo is an active, standalone agent that does that research for you — finds what's winning in your niche across organic and paid, decodes why each one works, and writes the hooks and scripts in your customers' own words. If you mainly wanted a big ad library to browse and tag, that's exactly the part Canva Grow absorbed; if you want the research done and turned into scripts you can shoot, that's ViralMojo.
It's closed. MagicBrief shut down on July 31, 2026 (8 PM EST) after the team joined Canva; billing was wound down beforehand, the platform is now inaccessible, and the ad workflow moved into Canva Grow. That's why this page exists: if you're looking for somewhere to take the research-to-script job, ViralMojo is an active product that isn't going anywhere.
ViralMojo starts at $79/mo (Starter), $199/mo (Creator), $399/mo (Pro). All three tiers have the same features — higher tiers just add monthly credits — and there's no free tier. MagicBrief's individual plan ran from about $29/mo with ad-spend-based team pricing from roughly $249/mo; that pricing was retired when the product closed on July 31, 2026.
Three things. First, it finds — an agent live-searches your exact niche across TikTok, IG Reels, and Meta Ads instead of handing you a pre-indexed library to scroll. Second, it reads the audience — every winner is decoded down to comment sentiment, the questions people ask, buying signals, and the best-fit ICP, not just tags. Third, it writes — you get a brief that names each variation's test variable, and the hooks and scripts in your customers' own words, ready to shoot. And it does all of this from just your product URL, with no ad account or spend history required.
Yes — and since MagicBrief closed on July 31, 2026, there's nothing to export or wait for: ViralMojo works from just your product URL, so you point it at your niche and the agent surfaces this week's winners and their breakdowns on day one. If a particular MagicBrief workflow (say, browsing a huge tagged ad library) is what you miss, that piece is the part that moved into Canva Grow — many teams run that alongside ViralMojo's research-to-script loop.
On demand and continuous. Ask the agent any time for fresh winners in your niche, and it auto-refreshes competitor creative weekly — so your research keeps current instead of going stale in a saved library.
