The best influencers on TikTok aren’t simply the accounts with the most followers. TikTok shows videos to people based on how the video performs individually, not just based on who follows the creator. As a result, a small or mid-sized account can reach more people than one several times its size.
That’s why we rank TikTokers by median views of their posts (average number of people a typical post reaches). As of October 2026, the five most-watched are MrBeast, Zach King, Khaby Lame, Brooke Monk and Hannah Stocking.
The groups follow what each creator is known for, from silent comedy to news. The number beside each name is the creator’s overall rank.
Big set-ups and pranks with a crew, a partner, a twin, or a parent. All five run YouTube channels too.
Set-piece stunts and challenges from the MrBeast YouTube world, filmed with a regular crew and famous guests. The month’s standout is an extreme-food challenge with a football star at the table.
3 sponsored posts in the last 90 days, in coffee, AI apps and mobile games.
Twin brothers who stage pranks and spectacles, such as a meeting with the world’s tallest man. Each video is one short set-up and its payoff.

1 sponsored post in the last 90 days, in coffee.
Motivational edits about self-worth and living on your own terms, set to music with the words on screen. Most posts carry no caption, so the message is in the video itself.

We analyzed the 474 posts these 35 creators published on TikTok in the last 30 days. Of those, 43 beat their creator’s usual views by 3× or more.
Here are the hooks that are working, read from each post’s caption, title, or on-screen text.
“I saw @kingapawlik_ do this and had to try”
The most common caption on this month’s breakouts is a plain line about what is happening, the way someone would caption a photo for friends: “Boating in Vegas >>”, “Defrosting for the night out”, “I made it to the other side.”
Brooke Monk 20M views · 3.8× their usualAlix Earle wrote 5 of the 20; the other 15 come from 12 creators, on pranks, sketches, makeup tutorials, and a restaurant review. Few of them ask the viewer anything.
“learning how to front flip with Interactive Visualizations and @googlegemini”
Five breakouts name a brand or a show in the caption, each from a different creator. Three are paid posts: a fashion house’s campaign, an AI app’s sketch, and a review of cleansing wipes. The other two launch the creator’s own serum and cook a dish from a cartoon.
Alan Chikin Chow 17M views · 14.6× their usualA paid post can do as well as anything else the creator makes: two of those three paid posts are their creator’s best post of the month.
“scariest meal of my life”
Three captions promise a reaction that the video then shows: “scariest meal of my life”, “Her reaction was priceless”, “He has no clue”. They come from three different creators, and each video has someone else in it to react: a guest, a partner, a friend.
MrBeast 121M views · 3.5× their usualLoren Gray: “2016 makeup tutorial.” reached 9.3M views, 16.2× their usual.
Joe Mele: “BEST. PRANK. YET. 😭” reached 20M views, 13.4× their usual.
Josh Richards: “Never underestimate me” reached 10M views, 8.4× their usual.
What the accounts on this list do at each size on TikTok. Use it to judge whether a creator’s numbers are strong for their tier.
| Tier | Followers | Median views | Engagement | Posts a week | Sponsored posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega | Under 20M | 1.8M | 9.7% | 2.1 | 10% |
| Mega | 20M to 50M | 2.3M | 8.2% | 2.1 | 7% |
| Mega | Over 50M | 3.8M | 8.8% | 2.3 | 10% |
Medians across these 35 accounts, from each account’s recent posts. “Sponsored posts” is the share of posts in the 90 days to Oct 12, 2026 that carry a paid-partnership label or a stated sponsor, or are part of a brand campaign.
For a brand that has not picked a niche yet, the first question is what kind of video the product needs, not which name is the most famous.
A product that needs explaining needs a creator who talks to the camera: a review, a news reaction, a get-ready-with-me. A product that is easy to show can go to a creator who works with no words, and that video needs no translation for other markets.
A median across the last 30 posts can reach back months for an account that rarely posts. On this list, one account’s last 30 posts go back to 2023, and three accounts posted only once in the last 30 days. Ask for the views of the last month’s posts and compare them with the median.
For a creator whose YouTube channel is bigger, the TikTok can be a short cut of a longer video. A mention bought for the YouTube video may reach TikTok as a few seconds, or not at all. Agree in writing which platforms the deal covers and what each version must show.
10 of the 35 sell their own snacks, seasonings, taco kits, makeup, or skincare. A food or beauty brand that books one of them is paying someone with a rival product on the shelf. Most name the brand in their bio, so check it first.
11 of the sponsored posts on this list carry no ad words at all, most of them one fashion house’s campaign. The FTC’s guidance for influencers treats free products and perks as a reason to disclose, not only payment. Put the paid-partnership label and the brand’s name in the brief, so the post cannot be read as the creator’s own taste.
We identified and ranked these creators by searching hundreds of thousands of top performing posts across TikTok with Klint.
We rank by median views across each creator’s recent posts, so one viral post can’t lift an account up the list. Creators from any country qualify if they post in English or with no words, and singers, actors, and athletes are left out.
To get this list or a similar one for yourself, describe the creators you’re looking for in the Klint web app, or paste this prompt into any AI agent connected to Klint:
Find the top 35 English-language TikTokers, ranked by median views across their last 30 posts or last 90 days, whichever is lower. No singers, actors, or athletes. Show followers, engagement, sponsored posts, and each one’s best video this month.
Klint is trusted by 1,000+ marketers for AI-native influencer marketing.
As of October 2026 the top five TikTokers by median views are MrBeast, Zach King, Khaby Lame, Brooke Monk and Hannah Stocking.
By followers, Khaby Lame, with 163M. By the views a typical video gets, MrBeast: a median of 34M views, 3.0 times the next creator on the list.
People known for the videos they post on TikTok, from small accounts about one hobby to household names. Every TikToker on this list has more than 6 million followers, and a typical video from each reaches at least 577K people.
All 35 post in English or make videos with no words. Of the 21 who say where they live, in a bio, a post, or on their YouTube channel, 17 are in the US, and one each in the UK, Japan, the Philippines and the Netherlands.
By hand, search TikTok for the phrases your customers use, open the accounts that keep coming up, and look at their last month of views rather than their follower count. Klint runs that search across TikTok in one request, for example “English-speaking cooking creators with 100K to 1M followers who posted a sponsored video this month”.
The price depends on how many people a typical video reaches, how many videos the deal covers, and whether the brand may also run the video as an ad. A deal can be a fee for each video, a fee with the right to use the video in ads, or a commission on sales through TikTok Shop. Creators do not publish their rates, so the price is agreed deal by deal.
Yes. Any creator can ask to be taken off Klint’s lists, and the request applies to every page they would otherwise appear on.
