Statly vs Sort Feed

Statly vs Sort Feed.
Sort a page or track an account?

Sort Feed is a Chrome extension: open a profile, search or saved collection on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook, and it sorts the posts by outlier score or views, with a player, downloads and exports. Statly is a web app built for agency owners, social media managers and growth operators who monitor competitors and niches they do not own: it re-reads the public accounts you choose every 24 hours on its servers and scores every video against its own account’s median, so the numbers are waiting for you each day.

Two tools,
two jobs.

Sort Feed works on the page in front of you: open a profile, sort it, watch, download, export. Statly works while you are away: it re-reads the accounts on your list every day, so you see who broke out without opening each profile.

Where Sort Feed is stronger

  • Right where you browse. Sort any profile, search or saved collection without leaving Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook.
  • Downloads and transcripts. Watermark-free downloads, even on the free plan, and transcripts on Pro (not on YouTube).
  • Facebook Reels. Sort Feed covers Facebook, which Statly does not.
  • More export formats. CSV, Excel, JSON or a new Google Sheet.
  • Price. Pro is $10 a month billed yearly, and the free plan has no time limit.

Where Statly is stronger

  • Tracking, not a one-off sort. Every account on your list is re-read every 24 hours, ready by a time you choose.
  • Nothing to open. Scans run on Statly’s servers, so your computer and browser do not need to be on.
  • X as well. Statly covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X.
  • Across your whole niche. Trend Finder ranks videos beating their own account’s median across all the accounts you track, and flags the ones that took off today.
  • Seats for the team. 5 seats on Starter, with workspaces and viewer, editor and admin roles.
  • Read only. Statly never asks for a social media login; it reads public data only.

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.

Which one
should you pick?

Choose Sort Feed if…

  • You research one creator or one search at a time, in the moment.
  • You want to download or transcribe the videos you find.
  • You need Facebook Reels, or exports to Excel, JSON or Google Sheets.
  • You work alone and want the lowest price, or a free plan with no end date.

Choose Statly if…

  • You research competitors and niches for clients or a team and want the same list re-read every day.
  • You want to see each video’s numbers over time, not only at the moment you sort.
  • You need X alongside Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
  • A team needs to share one workspace, alerts and an API.

Statly vs Sort Feed:
questions and answers.

Is Statly a good Sort Feed alternative?

Yes, if you want a set of accounts tracked every day rather than sorting one page at a time. Statly re-reads every account you add every 24 hours on its servers and scores each video against its own account’s median. If you mainly sort profiles while you browse and want downloads and transcripts, Sort Feed fits that better.

Who is Statly for?

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 on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X every day. Sort Feed suits sorting one page at a time while you browse.

Is Statly cheaper than Sort Feed?

No. Sort Feed Pro is $10 a month billed yearly, or $15 monthly, and it has a free plan. Statly Starter is €39 a month, or €390 a year, and includes daily server-side tracking with no account limit, 2,000 videos and 5 seats.

What is the difference between Sort Feed and Statly?

Do Statly and Sort Feed measure outliers the same way?

Yes, both divide a video’s views by the account’s median views. Sort Feed applies it on single-creator profiles when you sort them; Statly shows it on every video of every account you track.

Which platforms do Statly and Sort Feed cover?
