Statly vs the alternatives.
Side by side, sourced.
Most short-form tools either write scripts with AI or track a handful of accounts. Statly re-reads every account you add every day and shows which videos beat their own account’s median. Here is how it compares, using only what each company publishes.

questions and answers.
What makes Statly different from these tools?
Statly re-reads every public account you add every 24 hours on its servers, with no account limit on any paid plan, and scores every video by its views divided by its own account’s median. It covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X, never posts and never asks for a social media login.
Does Statly write scripts with AI?
No. Statly finds and scores the videos that won and leaves the creative work to you. Several of the tools compared here, such as Sandcastles, Octupie and Silma, focus on AI scripts and breakdowns.
Who is Statly for?
Agency owners, social media managers and growth operators who monitor competitors and niches they do not own, rather than their own accounts. Statly tracks any public account every day, never posts and needs no social media login.
Are Shortimize and viral.app competitor research tools?
Not mainly. They are often compared with short-form analytics tools, but both are built for companies running UGC campaigns: add the accounts of the creators you hire, track their videos and pay them. Statly has no creator payouts on purpose, because it is not the middle man between companies and creators.
Which tools are closest to Statly?
Trendly also tracks public accounts every day, but caps them at 10 to 100 per plan. Statly starts at €39 a month with 2,000 videos, no account limit and 5 seats.
How often does Statly refresh data?
Every account is re-read every 24 hours, ready by a local time you choose. Faster refresh is coming soon.
How do you keep these comparisons accurate?
Each page uses only what the other company publishes on its own website, with the date we read it and a link to the source. Where a company does not publish a figure, the page says so. Prices and plans change, so check the vendor’s site before you buy.
Can I try Statly before paying?
Yes. The free preview tracks 500 videos from as many accounts as you like, scanned daily for 3 days, with no card.
