Both cover analytics and social media management. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
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.
Covers the networks the older schedulers skip
Vista Social publishes to the list most schedulers stop short of, Reddit and Google Business Profile included, and it prices review management and social listening as separate products rather than folding them into a top tier nobody reaches. The plan you start on carries a profile count and a user count, both of which are what actually runs out first. For somebody posting to more than four networks it is usually cheaper than the incumbent it replaces.
