HashtagsForLikes

HashtagsForLikes is a hashtag research and campaign tool for Instagram and TikTok creators. It is best for solo creators and agencies that want scored discovery and reusable tag sets without sharing social credentials. Its strongest appeal is the combination of search, trend and campaign tools; publishing still requires a separate step in each platform’s app.

Overview

The service says its index spans more than 50 million hashtags across 15 niches. Each tag gets a 0–100 difficulty score based on post volume and engagement concentration, while weekly growth rates flag tags gaining momentum. These signals add useful context to hashtag selection, though creators still need to judge whether a tag fits their specific post and audience.

Beyond discovery, HashtagsForLikes can analyze public Instagram accounts, save named hashtag sets and compose posts in a scheduler. It says it does not collect, access or store Instagram or TikTok credentials, follower lists, private messages or social content. That is a clear boundary for account access, but the scheduler does not publish directly: posts must be sent through the relevant platform’s native app.

Key features

Research and campaign organization

Difficulty scoring helps users consider competition rather than choosing tags on popularity alone; weekly growth tracking adds a timing signal. Campaign Manager stores named sets for reuse and lets users copy them in one click, a practical fit for creators who rotate established tag groups. The free plan’s five saved campaigns may be enough for occasional use, but active creators may value Pro’s unlimited campaigns.

Profile analysis and AI suggestions

Profile tracking examines public Instagram accounts and surfaces hashtags used by their top posts. Pro includes five tracked profiles, while Agency removes that limit. Pro also adds AI-generated hashtag sets based on a written post description or uploaded image, giving users another starting point when building a campaign rather than a guarantee of better performance.

Scheduler and account handling

The scheduler supports composing posts for Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, but publishing takes place in each platform’s native app. That makes it useful for preparation, not a complete cross-platform publishing workflow. The company says it uses TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 at rest, access controls and regular security audits. Its privacy policy names Stripe, AWS, Postmark and Mixpanel as service providers. Email support aims to respond within 24 hours.

Pricing

The Free plan is billed at $0/month and allows 10 hashtag searches per day, full results with difficulty scores, Instagram and TikTok support, one-click copying and five saved campaigns. It is a meaningful way to assess the research workflow, but the daily search allowance and campaign cap constrain sustained use.

Pro costs $19 a month (billed $19/month). It includes unlimited searches, advanced analytics and trends, difficulty and weekly growth scoring, unlimited saved campaigns, five tracked profiles, AI suggestions and priority support. This is the sensible fit for an individual creator who uses research regularly and wants AI support without team seats.

Agency costs $49 a month (billed $49/month). It includes everything in Pro plus five team member seats, unlimited profile tracking, white-label CSV reports, API access and a dedicated account manager. Those additions suit agencies or teams managing multiple profiles and reporting needs; a solo user is unlikely to need the extra seats and agency tools.

A 7-day trial is offered. Subscriptions can be cancelled in account settings, but cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period and unused time is not prorated.

Platforms

HashtagsForLikes is available on web and through an API. Its hashtag research supports Instagram and TikTok; the scheduler also supports composing for Twitter, with publishing handled in each network’s native app.

Who it's for

It suits Instagram and TikTok creators who want more context than a raw hashtag list, especially those who reuse campaigns or compare tags by competition and growth. Pro is the better fit for a frequent solo user; Agency makes sense when multiple team members need shared access, reporting or API access. It is a weaker choice for anyone expecting the scheduler to publish automatically or looking for a broad social-media management workflow.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Difficulty and weekly growth signals give tag research useful dimensions beyond popularity.
• Pros: Saved campaigns make recurring hashtag sets quick to reuse, and Pro removes the free plan’s search and campaign caps.
• Pros: The company says it does not collect or store Instagram or TikTok credentials or private account data.
• Cons: Scheduled posts still need to be published in each platform’s native app.
• Cons: The Free plan’s 10 searches per day and five saved campaigns may be restrictive for regular campaign work.
• Cons: Profile tracking and AI suggestions require paid plans; Pro limits tracking to five profiles.

Verdict

HashtagsForLikes is a strong fit for creators who want scored Instagram and TikTok hashtag research, reusable campaigns and optional AI suggestions in one service. Pro is the clearest choice for an active solo creator, while Agency earns its higher price through seats, unlimited tracking and reporting tools. Look elsewhere if direct publishing is essential or if a simple free generator is all you need.
