Minter.io
Social profile analytics billed per account
Minter.io reports on one social profile at a time and charges that way, which suits somebody running three accounts and nothing like a marketing department. Instagram is where it goes deepest, down to stories, reels, collabs and hashtag performance. Reports are scheduled and emailed rather than waiting in a dashboard nobody opens. Adding a competitor's public profile costs the same as adding your own.
Our note
Count your profiles first and multiply, because this is cheap at two accounts and expensive at ten in a way the headline price hides. Iconosquare and Metricool are the flat-rate comparisons; Minter.io wins when you track few accounts deeply and loses when you track many.
Publer
Scheduling priced per account, not per seat
Publer schedules to most of the networks a creator actually posts on and prices by social account rather than by seat, with every tenth account free. Recycling and auto-scheduling matter more than the calendar view for anyone running an archive of evergreen posts. The free plan is a real one, with the caveat that it will not connect X and keeps published posts for a day. Paid plans add the workspace, the bulk tools and unlimited scheduling.
