The report card
Best for Instagram hashtags and planning
Flick is a planner built around Instagram hashtags, scheduling and an AI content tool. Prices are in pounds, analytics cover Instagram only, and the entry plan caps scheduled posts at 30 per profile a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Solo is 11 pounds a month on yearly billing for 4 profiles, close to the category's cheaper-quarter line of $14 once converted; prices are shown in pounds and tax is extra. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A 7-day trial on every plan with no free plan; the listing does not say whether a card is needed. |
| Features | C | Hashtag search and tracking, a scheduler and AI. Analytics are Instagram only, and Solo tracks 30 posts a month. |
| Ease of use | C | A web and phone product you set up with profiles and hashtag collections. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Flick is for
- Fits if Instagram is your main channel and hashtags matter
- Works for a solo creator with up to 4 profiles
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want analytics on networks other than Instagram
- Tight if you schedule more than 30 posts per profile a month on Solo
- Pricey if you add people or profiles: extra users are 8 pounds and extra profiles 4 pounds a month
- Watch out: prices are in pounds with tax added on top
Good to know
Good for
- Instagram-focused creators and small businesses
- Marketers who pick posts by hashtag performance
Worth knowing
- Prices are shown in pounds sterling; the vendor's page showed no dollar version.
- Analytics are Instagram only, and Solo allows only 30 tracked posts a month.
- Extra social profiles cost £4 a month and extra users £8 on the plan page.
- Tax is added on top of the prices shown.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
You could make this
What Flick does at its core is reports, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $176.87 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Flick’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
