LinkedIn competitor analysis for Pages and profiles
LinkedIn competitor analysis without a per-competitor limit, on public Company Pages and personal profiles alike. Paste a LinkedIn URL and track follower counts, posting cadence and public engagement.
The people are the channel, and LinkedIn won't compare them
LinkedIn's own competitor view only works on Company Pages, and it now limits a free Page to a single competitor with more behind a paid tier. Personal profiles, which is where most of the reach on LinkedIn actually sits, can't be benchmarked there at all. Socialpruf reads both from the public page, with no cap on how many you watch.
Track
LinkedIn competitor analysis, in full
Profiles and Pages in one set.
Track a competitor's Company Page next to the founders, executives and subject experts posting under their own names. On LinkedIn that split is usually where the reach difference lives.
No comparison limit.
Watch one competitor or thirty, Pages and profiles mixed. The number in your set isn't a pricing tier.
Basic public stats, stated plainly.
Follower counts, posting cadence and the engagement a public post displays. This is a lighter layer than Socialpruf's other networks, because LinkedIn makes less public, and we would rather say so here than in a footnote.
Alongside the networks with more depth.
Most teams put LinkedIn next to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X in one set, where the fuller metrics are, and read it as the B2B line on the same chart.
Set
The Page and the people, in one set
On LinkedIn a company's reach is usually spread across the individuals posting under their own names, not concentrated in the brand account. Socialpruf tracks both from the public page, so a competitor's whole footprint adds up in one place. LinkedIn's own comparison view can only see the box in the middle.

Frequently asked questions
Can I analyse personal LinkedIn profiles, not just Company Pages?
Yes. Paste either a profile URL or a Company Page URL and it joins your set. This is the part LinkedIn's own comparison view can't do at all, since it only benchmarks Company Pages, and on LinkedIn a company's reach often sits with the people posting under their own names rather than with the brand account.
Do I need a LinkedIn Premium Company Page?
Not for this. LinkedIn's own comparison view limits a free Page to one competitor and puts more behind a paid tier. Socialpruf doesn't cap how many public Pages or profiles you watch.
Do I need to connect a Page or profile?
No. Socialpruf reads public data, so you add an account by pasting its handle. Nothing to connect, on your side or theirs.
Why is LinkedIn lighter than the other networks?
Because LinkedIn makes less public than the others do, and its API doesn't support competitor analysis at all, so every tool in this category is working from the public page. Socialpruf gives you basic stats there: follower counts, cadence and public post engagement, plus full coverage on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook and Snapchat.
Which other platforms does Socialpruf cover?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and Snapchat. Which metrics are available depends on what each platform makes public.
