What is Statly?
Statly spots the videos taking off in your niche in their first hours. Radar checks the accounts you watch closely every 2 hours, so a new video is found about 1 hour after posting on average. Every day, Statly also refreshes every account you track on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X (accounts quiet for 14 days or more weekly) and compares each video’s or post’s performance with its creator’s typical results.
How does Statly find outperforming videos and posts?
Statly compares each video’s or post’s views with the median views of the account that published it. This identifies content that performs unusually well for that creator, not simply videos and posts from accounts with the largest audiences.
Which accounts can I track?
You can track any public Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X account, including your own accounts, competitors and creators in your niche. You don't need the account's password or any access to it.
Can I track private accounts?
No. Statly only reads what is publicly visible, so private accounts can't be tracked.
How often does Statly update its data?
Active accounts are scanned daily at the ready-by time you choose. Accounts quiet for 14 days or more are checked weekly. Scans run on Statly’s servers, so you don’t need to keep your browser open.
How far back does Statly scan videos and posts?
Statly scans the last 30 days by default. You can choose a 7-, 14-, or 30-day scan window in Settings. Videos and posts within that window count toward your plan’s capacity.
How is the Statly web app different from the Chrome extension?
The Statly Chrome extension analyzes content while you browse. The web app scans active Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X accounts daily, checks accounts quiet for 14 days or more weekly, and keeps the results in shared workspaces for your team.
What is Radar?
Radar spots a new video that is taking off in its first hours, before it becomes obvious. Statly follows each new video from the accounts you watch closely for up to 48 hours and compares it with what that account’s videos usually have at the same age. When one is clearly ahead, Radar shows it and can send an alert to Telegram, Slack or Discord. It works on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X.
How early does Radar find a video?
Statly checks the accounts you watch closely every 2 hours, so a new video is found about 1 hour after posting, on average. Each new video is then checked every 2 hours for up to 48 hours.
Which accounts does Radar watch?
Statly fills about a third of your Radar slots with accounts it picks from the ones you track (Starter 3, Scale 10, Agency 26), choosing ones that post daily and often break out. The rest are yours to choose; in the free preview, Statly fills all 5. You can remove any of them at any time; one you remove is never picked again. Radar works best on accounts that post a few times a day.
How many accounts can Radar watch?
Radar watches 10 accounts at once on Starter, 30 on Scale, 80 on Agency and a custom number on Enterprise. Their new videos are checked every 2 hours for up to 48 hours. The free preview includes Radar on 5 accounts, alerts included.
Is there a free trial?
Yes: a free preview. Track 500 videos for 3 days, no card needed, with Radar on 5 accounts and its alerts included. Team invites and the Statly API and MCP need a paid plan. After 3 days the scans stop and your data stays in your account until you pick a plan.
Do I need a card to try Statly?
No. You only add a card when you choose a plan.
What happens when the preview ends?
Daily scans pause and everything you found stays visible. Pick a plan and they start again, with all your accounts and saved videos kept.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, move up or down any time from Settings.
How many accounts can I track?
There's no account limit. Each account uses its recent videos and posts, at least 12 (10 on TikTok), so you can add accounts until your video and post capacity is full.
What happens if I go over my plan?
Nothing stops. Every account is still scanned each day, newest videos first. The oldest videos of each account stop updating and keep their last numbers, and new accounts can't be added until you're back under. Remove accounts you no longer need to free up space, or add extra videos on Scale and Agency.
Can my team use Statly together?
Yes. Statly supports shared workspaces with viewer, editor, and admin permissions. Starter includes five seats, Scale includes ten, and Agency includes unlimited seats. Use separate workspaces to organize clients or brands and control who can access each one.
Can I export video and post analytics from Statly?
Yes. Statly lets you export each data table to CSV for further analysis, reporting or sharing with your team.
