Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Iconosquare
Social analytics priced by profile
Iconosquare reports on social accounts and charges by how many profiles are being watched, which is the right shape for somebody managing a handful of them and the wrong one for a single creator with a single account. Scheduling sits beside the reporting, so posting and measuring are not two subscriptions. Competitor tracking and industry benchmarks are the part agencies buy it for. Post allowances are set per plan, which matters more than it sounds for anybody publishing daily across several profiles.
Our note
Fix your profile count before comparing tiers, because that is the axis the pricing actually turns on and the plan names distract from it. Metricool is the cheaper option at small scale, and this one earns its price when client-ready reporting is the deliverable.

Umami
Open source site analytics with no cookie banner
Umami counts visits without cookies or personal data, which is what keeps a consent banner off the front of a site nobody came to for a consent banner. The whole thing is open source, so it can be self-hosted for nothing on hardware you already pay for, and the cloud plan exists for people who would rather not. Events are the billing unit above the free tier. The dashboard is deliberately one screen.
