SmartMetrics
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.
