Silma is built to explain and improve single videos: it breaks down why one worked and checks your draft before you post. Statly is built to track: you choose the accounts that matter and it re-reads every one of them every day.
Silma 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.
Statly does the reading every day. You decide what to make next.
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.
Trend Finder shows what is growing fastest since the last daily scan, the top outliers and the top sounds across your niches. Save the winners to your Library with tags and folders.
Yes, if what you need is daily tracking of specific public accounts and their outliers. Statly scans every account you add every 24 hours and scores each video against its own account’s median. If you mainly want AI breakdowns of single videos or a score for your draft before posting, Silma covers that and Statly does not.
Agency owners, social media managers and growth operators who monitor competitors and niches they do not own. Statly never posts, needs no social media logins and tracks any public account every day, with no account limit.

No. Statly plans are measured in videos kept fresh (2,000, 5,000 or 10,000), and tracking runs every day within that. Silma uses monthly credits: a chat message costs 1, a Pre-Check 5, a new breakdown or competitor deep dive 12, and unused credits do not roll over.
Silma covers short-form video on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Statly covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X.
No. Statly has no AI video breakdowns and no draft scoring. It finds and scores the videos that beat their own account, and leaves the creative work to you. On Scale and Agency, Statly MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor read your workspace.

Statly, yes: a free preview of 500 videos from as many accounts as you like, scanned daily for 3 days, with no card. Silma does not state a free trial; its cheapest plan, Lite, is $9 a month and can be cancelled any time.
