Circleboom Twitter Hashtag Tracker vs SmartMetrics

Circleboom Twitter Hashtag Tracker searches Twitter/X hashtags and keywords in real time or across historical date windows, returning matching posts and their authors. Tweet results include impressions, likes, retweets, quotes, bookmarks, and replies; profile results include follower and following counts, follow ratio, and engagement tier. Search filters can narrow results by keyword, excluded terms, language, media type, and engagement metrics. Historical searches cover the last 30, 60, or 90 days, a year, or a custom date window. Real-time results are saved in a search log for later review without rerunning the query or spending tokens again. Tweet and profile views can be exported as CSV with tweet, engagement, and author details. The setup guide says the search flow provides AI query suggestions. The free tier previews features for one profile and includes the Twitter Search Tool; prices for other listed plans are not provided.

SmartMetrics provides Instagram account and hashtag analytics for brands and agencies through web access and an API. Account reports visualize more than 30 measures across accounts, posts, and stories, including audience demographics and geography, engagement, reach, and impressions. Hashtag tracking covers daily post updates, performance, sentiment, top posts, and related hashtags. The service also tracks brand mentions in real time and lets users respond from one place. Reports can be exported as PDF or CSV, charts as images, and shared through a secret link. Agency tools include scheduled and white-label reports, shared online reports, goals, and smart alerts. Its documented API uses key-based authentication over HTTPS; account analytics require authorization through Facebook. Plans start at $9 a month for up to three accounts, with hashtags counting toward the profile limit. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card, but the account is put on hold afterward unless the user subscribes.
