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.

Social Blade
Public stats for channels you do not own
Social Blade has been the place people check somebody else's numbers since long before creator analytics was a product category. Everything public is free to look at, which is why brands, journalists and rival channels all end up here. What a subscription buys is the absence of adverts, longer history and the ranked lists. The estimated earnings figure is a wide range built from public data, and it should be read as one.
