Which one is for you
Pick Iconosquare if
- Fits if reporting on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook matters more than posting volume
- Works for agencies sending clients scheduled PDF and XLS reports
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Starter, at 30 posts a month and one user; Launch stops at 100
- Not for you if you want X or an inbox on the cheapest plan, as both start at Launch at €33
- Pricey if a team needs in: a second user means Scale at €69 a month, and more than 3 users means Custom
- Skip it if you're staying free: 2 profiles, 10 posts a month each and 1 month of history
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and competitor and hashtag tracking need Scale
Pick Socialinsider if
- Fits if you report on several networks and want competitor numbers in one view
- Makes sense if an agency needs a hard cap on tracked profiles
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you work alone with history in mind, as Adapt keeps 3 months and has 1 seat
- Pricey if you only need a few accounts, since the entry is $990 a year
- Skip it if you need publishing, as the pricing page lists none
- Watch out: the page showed another currency from India, and extra profiles and seats cost more on top
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAIconosquareFair | 2.0GPASocialinsiderFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter and Launch are one user, so two or three people need Scale: €69 a month billed yearly for 5 profiles and 3 users.

Alone, Starter is €15 for 5 profiles. | CAdapt is $990 a year ($82.50 a month) for 20 accounts, above the $79 dearer-quarter line for social tools but under the $129 dearest-tenth line. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for good with 2 profiles and 10 posts a month per profile, plus a 14-day trial with no card. One month of analytics history is thin for an analytics tool, though. | CA 14-day free trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | BAnalytics for 8 networks with dashboards and scheduled PDF and XLS reports, scheduling with captions per network, an inbox from Launch, and competitor and hashtag tracking on Scale.

| Ease of use | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll connect profiles and build dashboards to get the most from it. So it gets the ordinary grade. | CNo store rating on record. You connect or add accounts, then build the reports you want. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Zapier, Adobe Express and an MCP link for ChatGPT and Claude. No desktop app, which an A needs. | CWeb only. The one connector listed is an MCP connector for AI tools. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
