✨ New: Face + bio audience demographicsTrusted by 50+ creators & brands

BestInstagram, TikTok & YouTubeAnalytics Tool in 2026

Q: Is DecodeCreator free?

Yes — every visitor gets 2 free scans per day with no card required. Paid tiers start at ₹499/month (about $6/month) for higher quotas and more tools. The API is credit-based with a ₹500 minimum top-up.

Q: How is DecodeCreator different from HypeAuditor, Modash, or Iconosquare?

Three differences: (1) transparent per-scan credit pricing — no 'contact sales for a quote'; (2) wallet credits valid for 12 months per top-up with no early expiry; (3) Instagram + TikTok + YouTube in one dashboard, not just Instagram. Honest signals — if a metric is inferred rather than measured, we tell you.

Q: Does the scanned account know I'm looking at their profile?

No. DecodeCreator only reads public data through licensed provider APIs. Nothing follows, DMs, likes, or leaves any trace on the source account. The scanned user is never notified.

Q: Can I check private Instagram or TikTok accounts?

No. Private accounts return a 'private' response — we do not attempt to bypass any platform's privacy settings. This is a strict rule; we won't help circumvent an account block.

Q: How accurate is the fake-follower check?

It's a sampled, signal-based estimate. We look at follower activity patterns, profile completeness, engagement authenticity, and other public signals. Where the estimate is uncertain we say so — no 'AI-powered' claims where a heuristic is doing the work.

Q: Is there a REST API I can integrate?

Yes. GET https://decodecreator.com/v1/scan/{platform}/{handle}?tool={toolId} with an x-api-key header. Credits are metered per call and refunded on failure. Full docs at /docs.

Engagement, audience demographics, fake-follower share, earnings — for any public Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account. Public data only, no login required.

Alternatives comparison

The HypeAuditor, Modash, Iconosquare & Social Blade alternative

Most creator analytics platforms are Instagram-only, cost $99+/month minimum, or hide pricing behind a sales call. DecodeCreator covers all three platforms, starts at zero, and shows the meter on the wall.
