Followers went out of style. Nobody told your tracker.
InsTrack watches your follower count go up and down. Statly tells you whether your content is actually working, and does the same for anyone else's account too.
Statly vs InsTrack, in a sentence
InsTrack meters your own follower count. Statly measures whether your content is statistically working, on any account, at one flat price.

Reach decoupled from follower count years ago
A “Followers Growth Rate” chart made sense when the algorithm rewarded pure follower accumulation. It doesn't work that way now, Reels get distributed to people who don't follow you, which is why an account can lose followers in a week and still be doing its best content ever, or gain them while coasting.
InsTrack's dashboard is built around the numbers that decoupled from performance years ago: followers, following, average likes and comments. None of it tells you whether last Tuesday's Reel was a real breakout or a rounding error.
Median, outlier scores and consistency, on any account
- Median, not just average, one viral post drags an average up; Statly shows both so you see the gap InsTrack's averages hide.
- Outlier Score, every Reel measured against the account's own baseline. 3,000 views is normal here; this one did 30,000, a 10× outlier worth understanding.
- The consistency suite, five metrics that separate a repeatable pattern from a one-time fluke.
- Any account, not just yours, every public profile, from day one, no upgrade required.
Unlimited accounts, no per-account upgrade
InsTrack charges per account tracked, want ten competitors instead of two? That's a plan upgrade. Statly Pro is €39/month, unlimited scans, unlimited accounts, API access included. Competitive research doesn't come with a number attached in advance.
Statly vs InsTrack: FAQ
I want a mobile app and push notifications.
InsTrack has that; Statly doesn't. If checking your follower count from your home screen matters more than understanding why a Reel performed the way it did, InsTrack's app is real and Statly won't pretend otherwise.
I want to schedule posts from the same tool.
InsTrack does that; Statly doesn't, on purpose. Analysis and scheduling are different jobs, use your scheduler of choice, and use Statly to decide what's worth scheduling.
Isn't tracking my own account enough?
It's necessary, not sufficient. Watching your own followers tick up or down tells you what happened; it never tells you what to try next. That answer lives in the accounts already doing it.
