Public stats for channels you do not own
Social Blade shows public stats on any channel for free, without the side-by-side benchmarking against a chosen set of named rivals Rival IQ is built around.
Works with YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch
Social profile analytics billed per account
Rival IQ's own advice sends a solo creator to Minter.io instead, which bills per account rather than pricing for agencies comparing several clients.
Works with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads
Social listening priced for one person
Awario is priced and built for one person listening for mentions, not benchmarking named competitors side by side the way Rival IQ is built to do.
Works with YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit
YouTube analytics from MrBeast's own team
ViewStats is built for YouTube specifically, with a free tier, rather than the cross-platform named-rival benchmarking Rival IQ runs across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X.
Works with YouTube
Alerts when your name turns up anywhere
Brand24 alerts on where a name turns up rather than tracking a chosen set of named rivals on the same axes over time.
Works with Podcast, Reddit
Scheduling and analytics across brands
Rival IQ's own advice is that a solo creator should look at Metricool instead, which schedules posts alongside reporting analytics rather than pricing for agencies at $239 a month.
