When it comes to viewing what strategies, content, and campaigns competitors are launching, having a tool to gather this information is the secret sauce to staying competitive in your industry’s market. 

And with Metricool’s competitor comparison feature, you can do this with just one click. Let us walk you through how this works. 

Overview of Metricool’s Competitor Analysis

If you haven’t done so already, you can create your free Metricool account, to access features such as scheduling social media posts and letting the tool auto-publish content for you, managing all social media messages and replies in one place, and viewing in-depth analytics.

And of course, add in your top industry competitors to view their latest social media content’s analytics, and now compare competitors against each other. 

After creating your Metricool account, head to the Analytics section and find the “Competitors” section inside Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and YouTube. You can simply search your competitor’s social media handle and Metricool will populate the account’s social media content in the chosen time frame. 

You can add up to five competitors with a free Metricool account, and up to 100 for Premium accounts. View up to three months of data history for free accounts, and up to a year for Premium accounts. 

Metricool’s competitor analysis includes data such as community growth, post count, and a list of the top posts in the chosen time period.
