Two tools,
two jobs.

Octupie is built to help one Instagram creator decide what to post and write it: it learns your voice, picks your competitors and drafts scripts. Statly is built to track: you choose the accounts that matter on four platforms and it re-reads them every day.

Where Octupie is stronger

  • A strategist built in. An onboarding interview sets up to 5 content pillars and writes strategy docs for you.
  • Competitors found for you. Octupie maps the accounts in your niche automatically.
  • Breakdowns and scripts. Hook, structure and what to copy, then a script in your style in about 30 seconds.
  • Lower entry price. Creator is $29 a month, or $23 a month billed yearly.
  • An easy trial. 7 days with no card and no automatic charge, and a 14-day refund on paid plans.

Where Statly is stronger

  • Four platforms. Statly covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X; Octupie tracks Instagram only.
  • No account limit. Track every account you care about; Octupie caps tracked competitors at 30 on Pro.
  • A score you can check. Views divided by the account’s median, shown on every video.
  • Seats included. 5 seats on the €39 Starter plan; Octupie Pro charges $329 a year per extra seat.
  • API and MCP. Read your workspace from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor on Scale and Agency.
  • CSV on every table. Take your data into a spreadsheet or report whenever you like.

Why Statly doesn’t
write your scripts.

Octupie uses AI to help you make the next video. Statly is built for the step before: catching what is taking off in your niche, every day. Writing scripts, hooks or ideas for you is not what Statly is for. AI copy built from the same viral videos tends to sound generic and promise more than the video delivers, and the creative call should stay yours.

Octupie’s AI features, and their limits

  • AI scripts. Scripts built from the same viral videos sound alike across accounts, and copy the result rather than the reason it worked.
  • AI hooks. Template hooks get reused widely, and a hook can promise more than the video delivers.
  • AI video breakdowns. They describe what is in a video, but cannot see why the platform pushed it, such as timing or a repost from a larger account.
  • Learning your voice. It learns from what you have already posted, including what did not work, and drifts back to a generic tone.
  • AI ideas and content plans. Ideas that do not come from fresh data on your niche are often generic, and shared by others in the same niche.
  • AI research agents. You do not control which accounts they pick, and results change from run to run, so they are hard to compare over time.
  • Viral or fit scores. No tool can see a platform’s ranking, so a score before posting is an estimate, and the formula is rarely published.
  • In-app AI chat. Answers can sound right and still be wrong, and messages often use credits.

What Statly does instead

  • Catches what is taking off. Trend Finder flags the videos that took off today, at 2× their account’s usual pace, across every account in your niches.
  • Shows the evidence. Every video’s views divided by its own account’s median, so you can see which formats keep winning, and which were a one-off.
  • Leaves the idea to you. You study what worked and decide what to make, in your own words, so your videos do not sound like everyone else’s.
  • Works with your own AI. On Scale and Agency, Statly MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor read your data, if you want AI help on your own terms.

How Statly finds
the videos that won.

Statly does the reading every day. You decide what to make next.

Baseline

Every video, measured against its own account.

Each account gets a baseline: its median views. A video’s outlier score is its views divided by that median, so a small account’s breakout is as visible as a big account’s.

Statly vs Octupie:
questions and answers.

Is Statly a good Octupie alternative?

Yes, if what you need is daily tracking of specific public accounts and their outliers, especially beyond Instagram. Statly scans every account you add every 24 hours on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X and scores each video against its own account’s median. If you want an AI agent that sets your content pillars and writes scripts in your voice, Octupie covers that and Statly does not.

Is Statly cheaper than Octupie?

Not at entry for one creator: Octupie Creator is $29 a month ($23 billed yearly) and Statly Starter is €39 a month. Statly includes no account limit and 5 seats on Starter, while Octupie Creator tracks 15 competitors for a single creator and Pro ($49 a month) tracks 30, with extra seats at $329 a year each.

Which platforms do Statly and Octupie cover?

Octupie tracks Instagram only, and uses LinkedIn, X, YouTube and your website as context about you. Statly tracks Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X.

On Statly, there is no account limit on any paid plan; plans are measured in videos kept fresh. Octupie tracks up to 10 competitors on the trial, 15 on Creator and 30 on Pro.

Does Statly write scripts or break down videos like Octupie?

No. Statly finds and scores the videos that won and leaves the creative work to you, with no AI scripts, breakdowns or transcription in the web app. On Scale and Agency, Statly MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor read your workspace and answer questions about it.

Do I need to connect my Instagram account?

Not for Statly: it reads public data only and never posts. Octupie starts from your Instagram handle and does not post or schedule; it does not state whether a login is needed.

Who is Statly for?
