Frequently asked questions

Do competitors need to connect anything?

No. Socialpruf reads public data, so you add a competitor by pasting their handle. Your own accounts work the same way, with no integration to set up.

How many competitors can I track?

As many as define your market. Some teams watch three rivals. Vice Media tracks 200+ competitor accounts and On3 150+, split into sets that match how each business is organized.

How far back does competitor data go?

Back to each account's first post. Add a competitor and its history comes with it, so your first comparison already covers past seasons, launches and campaigns.

How fast do new competitor posts show up?

Within the hour, and their stats keep updating after that.

Can I see the posts behind the metrics?

Yes. Every post is stored with its own metrics, and account totals are those posts added up. When a competitor's numbers jump, open the posts responsible.

Can I track posts that mention my brand?

Yes. Discover finds every post that tags or mentions a brand, yours or a competitor's, with the numbers attached.

Which platforms does Socialpruf cover?

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and Snapchat. Which metrics are available depends on what each platform makes public.
