The Problem Instagram Insights fall short

Instagram’s native analytics weren’t built for strategy

Reels are the fastest-growing format on Instagram, but the tools to analyze them haven’t kept up.

Insights Only Show Your Own Reels

Instagram’s built-in analytics are limited to your account. You can’t see competitor Reels performance, trending formats in your niche, or what’s working for creators outside your network.

No Trend Prediction or Audio Tracking

By the time a sound trends on Instagram, it’s usually too late. There’s no native way to spot rising audio, emerging formats, or content patterns before they peak.

Can’t Compare Across Platforms

A Reel format crushing it on Instagram might be untapped on TikTok or Shorts. Without cross-platform data, you’re optimizing in a silo and missing repurpose opportunities.

No Outlier Detection

Instagram shows you raw view counts, but can’t tell you if a Reel is genuinely exceptional relative to the creator’s baseline. Without outlier scoring, you’re confusing popularity with signal.

How It Works Three steps to Reels intelligence

From blind spots to full visibility.

Set up once, get continuous Reels intelligence across your entire niche.

1

Define your niche or keyword

Enter a keyword, hashtag, or creator list. Choose Instagram Reels alongside TikTok and Shorts, or focus on Reels alone.

  • Any keyword, hashtag, or creator handle
  • Track Reels only or all three platforms at once
  • Set up in under 60 seconds
