Socialcrab
Socialcrab is a web-based, AI-powered social media analytics platform for brands, agencies, creators, communities, marketers, founders, and analysts. It currently supports Instagram reports; TikTok and X analytics are described as coming soon. Users can analyze public accounts or keywords without connecting or logging in with their own social accounts. Listed analysis includes public profile and competitor comparisons, creator evaluation, content and keyword performance, historical trends, best-time-to-post analysis, and thread and carousel performance. Reports may contain AI-powered takeaways and suggested next steps, and can be downloaded as PDF or Excel files. On-demand reports usually take 2–4 hours, with notification when ready. Each new account receives 50 free posts once, while a free-plan report analyzes up to 12 posts. Reports consume posts according to analysis size; active plan and pass allowances refresh every 30 days, and unused posts do not carry over. Explore costs nothing as a one-off allowance. SCRB passes provide 30- or 90-day access, with prices not listed.
