Social Blade
Public creator growth analytics and competitor tracking across five social platforms
Current official five-platform public analytics, favorites, history, report cards and API; no managed publishing or primary revenue attribution.
August 2026 Capterra and older G2 users value fast creator comparisons; one current review finds desktop UI crowded and older reports note search/data delay.
Four annual USD totals and quota tiers are published; separate API fees and a 14/30-day free history inconsistency reduce certainty.
Developer API and documented credit rules support integration, but public estimates, privacy/accuracy assurance and underlying social API limits were not independently audited.

About Social Blade
Social Blade tracks public creator and channel statistics across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and Facebook. Its dashboard and top lists support follower/subscriber trends, rank comparisons, estimated earnings and creator discovery; paid personal subscriptions unlock longer histories, daily/weekly charts, YouTube report cards and limited Business API credits at higher tiers. Official annual personal prices range from $59.99 for Bronze through $1,439.99 for Platinum, with a free account for basic metrics. It is a competitive/research analytics service, not a social scheduling, posting or campaign management system. External G2 and Capterra reviews are generally positive but include warnings about estimates, stale counts and paywalls.
Best for
Influencer marketers, creator managers, agencies and channel owners checking public account growth, creator rankings and competitor trends.
Social Blade pros and cons
Pros
- Official home page supports YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Facebook and Instagram statistics rather than only a single social network.
- Free profiles, favorites and top lists allow lightweight competitor discovery without a subscription.
- Four personal subscription tiers have explicit annual totals and caps for favorites, table history and YouTube report cards.
- Silver, Gold and Platinum include a stated monthly amount of Business API credits; standalone API credits and documents are also available.
- Business custom reports can filter creators and export lists, addressing agency discovery workflows.
- An August 2026 Capterra reviewer praises quick YouTube competitor insights, with paywall and crowded-interface caveats.
Cons
- −Public subscriber/view counts, future projections and earnings are estimates or dependent on social platform visibility; they are not verified creator revenue.
- −The official comparison has a free-user table history inconsistency: 30 days in the matrix versus 14 days in its own narrative; check active-account entitlement.
- −Longer histories, report cards, API credits and detailed charts are concentrated in paid tiers; Bronze does not list API credits.
- −One 2026 Capterra review finds the desktop interface crowded, and older reviews note search gaps, lagging updates or mobile limitations.
- −No native publishing/scheduling, CRM, inbox or ad-buying module is established; a separate social-management tool is needed for these workflows.
