$12/mo per connected account · analytics included · data from day one

See every account at once

LinkedIn, X, Instagram and the rest on one chart, compared with the previous period. No more tab-hopping between native analytics.

Find your winners

Posts ranked by what actually earned engagement. Repost the angle that worked, not the one you liked.

Post when your audience is around

The best-time heatmap comes from your own engagement history, not a blog post from 2019.

Back the right account

Which account earns the most per post? The side-by-side table tells you where the effort pays off.

Numbers with your coffee

Yesterday's impressions, follower changes and top post, mailed to you every morning. Toggle it anytime.

Every post, receipts attached

Likes, comments, shares, saves, clicks, reach and engagement rate on each post, day by day.

Grow

Double down on what already works.

The whole dashboard is built around one question: what should you post next? Ranked top posts, your peak posting window, and follower trends turn last week's results into next week's plan.

  • Top posts ranked by engagement, impressions, likes or clicks
  • Best time to post, learned from your own audience
  • Follower growth for every connected account on one chart
  • Search and sort the performance of everything you've published

In context

Your numbers live where you post.

No separate reporting tool. Every post in the Posts Log carries its metrics, and one click opens the full story: reach, saves, clicks, engagement rate, and daily charts.

  • Performance on every row of the Posts Log
  • The full per-post breakdown, one click away
  • Posts synced from your platforms count too, so nothing starts at zero
  • CSV export for when someone asks for the report
API + agents

Your agent reads the numbers and plans the week.

Under the dashboard sits a social media analytics API, the same one we use. Point Claude at it through Orshot for agents and the loop closes itself: render, publish, measure, repeat. It's exactly how we run our own LinkedIn and X.

  • Ask in plain language: top posts, follower change, best posting window, per-platform numbers
  • Agents plan content from real performance, not vibes
  • Works with Claude, Cursor and any agent, on the same accounts and billing

API

Every number, one GET away.

Five documented endpoints cover the whole dashboard: cross-account analytics, daily series, computed insights, follower stats, and per-post breakdowns. Authenticate with your API key and build whatever the dashboard doesn't.

  • Same API key as rendering and publishing
  • Filter by platform, account, source and date range
  • Cached responses with a refresh switch when you need live numbers
  • 10 requests per minute, plenty for daily reporting jobs

Frequently asked questions

What is social media analytics?

Social media analytics is measuring how your posts and accounts perform: impressions, engagement, clicks, and follower growth. The point is not the numbers themselves but the decisions they drive, like what to post next and when. Orshot builds this into the same dashboard you publish from, so measuring is not a separate chore.

What is a social media analytics API?

A social media analytics API returns your posts' metrics as structured data instead of charts, so scripts, dashboards, and AI agents can use them. Orshot exposes five GET endpoints covering cross-account analytics, daily series, computed insights, follower history, and per-post breakdowns, authenticated with the same API key you already use for rendering and publishing.

What does agent-first analytics mean?

It means the analytics are built to be read by AI agents, not just people. Through Orshot for agents, an agent like Claude can ask what performed best, when your audience engages, and how followers changed, then act on it: writing captions, rendering images, and scheduling next week's posts. We run Orshot's own LinkedIn and X exactly this way.

How do I track social media analytics across platforms?

Connect your accounts to one tool that normalizes metrics across platforms, since each network reports differently. In Orshot, every connected account (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and more) lands in one dashboard with comparable impressions, engagement, and follower numbers, plus filters per channel and account.

What metrics matter in social media analytics?

Impressions show how far a post travelled. Likes, comments, shares and saves show whether anyone cared. Clicks show who wanted more, and follower growth is the part that compounds. Engagement rate ties them together by adjusting for audience size. Orshot tracks all of these per post and per account, and ranks your top posts so the winners are obvious.

How do I automate social media analytics?

Use an API or an agent instead of checking dashboards manually. With Orshot you can pull any metric from the analytics API on a schedule, get a daily digest email with yesterday's numbers, or let an AI agent query performance through Orshot for agents and plan content from it. The whole loop, from rendering images to reading results, runs on one platform.

How do I find my best time to post?

Look at when your own posts earned engagement, not generic best-time charts. Orshot builds a day-by-hour heatmap from your posting history and highlights your peak window. It sharpens as you post more, and it is available in the dashboard and through the insights API endpoint.

How do I create a social media analytics report?

Decide the window, pull the numbers, and show change over time rather than snapshots. In Orshot you can export every post's metrics to CSV for client reports, compare any period against the previous one on the dashboard, or automate the report entirely through the analytics API.

Do I need a separate social media analytics tool?

Not if your publishing tool measures results too. Orshot includes analytics with Social Posting at no extra cost: $12/month per connected account covers publishing, scheduling, and full analytics, including posts you published before connecting, so there is data from day one.
