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.
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.

Rival IQ
Benchmark your social against named rivals
Rival IQ is built around comparison rather than reporting: you name the companies you measure yourself against, and it tracks all of them on the same axes. That framing is why agencies and social teams buy it and why a solo creator usually will not. Historical depth and the number of tracked accounts are what separate the plans. Private analytics for accounts you own are an addition to the public benchmarking, not the point of it.
