Scope updates

Most of our Scope work this time has been about keeping profile data cleaner and handling more of the maintenance automatically.

Broken images can fix themselves, profiles link across platforms from more sources, and background checks are quieter and more accurate.

Broken TikTok images now fix themselves

Broken TikTok profile images were affecting quite a few profiles.

Scope now detects a broken image and refreshes it automatically in the background.

You don't need to do anything. It will fix itself.

Improved company detection

We improved how Scope detects company profiles, especially in TikTok Similar Audience searches.

After the early exclusions, Scope checks the remaining profiles and runs company prediction where needed. This helps keep business accounts out of creator results.

Quieter background data notifications

Data notifications are now only shown when the update was triggered by you.

Updates that Scope runs quietly in the background no longer create unnecessary notifications.

Better TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube linking

We added more sources for connecting TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube profiles, including social links found on Linktree-style pages.

This now links thousands of profiles each day, giving you more complete creator records with fewer duplicates.

Gender prediction tweaks

We made several gender prediction tweaks and added male detection to TikTok Similar Audience exclusions, so opposite-gender profiles are removed more consistently.

More Similar Audience results for TikTok and Instagram

Similar Audience for TikTok and Instagram can now use more methods to find matching profiles.

We've also added tighter ceilings, clearer exclusions, result-based pricing, feedback after completed searches, and a more reliable path from the first lookup to the final result.

Here's what changed in the AI chat

View and follower ceilings

We've added maximum ceilings for TikTok views and Instagram followers, alongside minimum-view and minimum-follower ladders. This lets Scope exclude profiles outside the requested range, then adjust the minimum in controlled steps when more results are needed.

Pause after 100 results

Similar Audience now pauses when a search reaches 100 profiles and asks whether you want Scope to continue.

You can load more, stop with the results you have, or review them and be asked again in one minute. This makes it easier to control the search without having to watch the page and stop it at exactly the right time.

Smarter TikTok exclusions

TikTok profiles are now checked in this order:

1. Remove duplicates.
2. Exclude different nationalities.
3. Exclude private accounts.
4. Exclude companies and run company prediction on the remaining profiles.
5. Exclude the opposite gender, including male detection when relevant.
6. Exclude profiles below the median-view minimum.
7. Exclude profiles already in connected Google Sheets.
8. Exclude profiles without an email when that option is enabled.

Result-based pricing

You now only pay for profiles that remain in the final result after all exclusions. Profiles filtered out along the way don't use credits.

This means the price is based on the useful result you receive, not the number of profiles Scope had to check along the way.

Feedback after every search

When a search is completed, Scope now asks whether the result was good or bad. A sentence or two about why you liked or didn't like the result helps us improve the next version.

More reliable searches from start to finish

With more ways to find profiles, ceilings to protect quality, and filters that finish before the search settles, Similar Audience now returns more useful profiles with fewer unwanted results.

Together, these changes should give you more results and better quality, without charging you for profiles you never receive.

Help us help you

As always we'd love to hear your ideas.

What do you want us to work on? What's important to you is important to us:)
