Social Blade review
A practical public-statistics tracker for basic creator and profile growth monitoring.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Social Blade is a freemium social media analytics platform for creators, brands, media organizations, businesses, and fans. It tracks public profile statistics and growth across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and Facebook through web, iOS, Android, and API access. Its core toolkit includes historical tabular and graphical data, top lists, favorites, creator comparisons, estimated earnings, future projections, YouTube report cards, custom reports, spreadsheet export, and a Business API for public statistical data. It fits buyers who need accessible public-profile monitoring rather than full audience or campaign intelligence.
The free plan covers five favorites per platform, Top 100 lists, a user summary page, future projections, live subscriber counts, and video statistics. Paid plans expand monitoring and reporting in clear steps: Bronze adds ad-free access, 15 favorites per platform, Top 250 lists, one YouTube report card per month, and up to 30 days of table data. Silver increases those limits to 25 favorites, Top 500 lists, 10 report cards, and 60 days of table data, with weekly and daily charts. Gold and Platinum extend favorites, rankings, report cards, data history, and chart access further, with Platinum reaching 500 favorites, Top 5,000 lists, 100 monthly report cards, and 365 days of table data.
Social Blade’s strongest fit is lightweight, cross-platform visibility into public creator and profile performance. Rankings, comparisons, projections, downloadable YouTube report cards, spreadsheet exports, and API access support research, monitoring, and recurring reporting. The narrower public-statistics focus also defines its limits: it does not provide verified audience demographics, campaign reporting, or competitor benchmarking. Choose Social Blade for basic growth tracking and public profile comparisons; choose another product when audience intelligence, campaign measurement, or deeper competitive analysis is central to the workflow.
