The report card
Best for social analytics and reports
Social Status reports on your profiles, your competitors, your ads and influencers, with automated reports. It does not publish posts, the small plans cover Facebook, Instagram and YouTube only, and every profile or competitor you add eats plan quota.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Micro is $9 a month for 3 profiles, inside the cheaper quarter, which tops out at $14. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 1 profile and 1 month of history, plus a 14-day trial on paid small-business plans. |
| Features | C | Profile, competitor, ads and influencer analytics with reports. It does that job fully, but it is analytics only, with no publishing. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app where you connect accounts and set up reports. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Google Slides and Meta Ads. |
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 Social Status is for
- Fits if you need reports on a few profiles and their rivals
- Works for agencies that want white-label reports on the $29 plan
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to publish posts, as it is analytics only
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 profile and 1 month of data

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.
Your call
You could make the core of Social Status for yourself: reports.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok among them.
What this rests on. Social Status’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.
