Hashtag.org Hashtag Metrics vs Rival IQ

Hashtag.org Hashtag Metrics is a free web and API service for live hashtag usage, related tags, top posts, engagement and posting hours. No login is required, and the directory offers browsing across 1,251,230 measured tags. Usage counts come from Mastodon public tags, trends and search APIs, while post metrics come from the Bluesky public search API. Mastodon counts cover roughly seven days; Bluesky metrics use the latest sample of posts. Every figure includes a named source and fetch time, while values that cannot be measured appear as a dash. Metrics for X, Instagram and TikTok are omitted because their numbers are behind paid APIs. The same measurements are available as JSON at `/api/hashtags/`. The service also describes an auction with public bids for claiming a hashtag as a #name on the hashtag.org network. The free plan costs nothing.
