What Rival IQ is
Rival IQ provides social media analytics, alerts, and custom reports for comparing social performance with competitors. Competitive tracking covers Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. Post analysis includes hashtag analytics, popular topics, post times, media types, and keyword search, while always-on monitoring can alert users to competitor activity. Private measurement includes Instagram Insights, Facebook Insights and Ads, LinkedIn Page Analytics, and Twitter Analytics. Instant Search queries sites including Reddit, blogs, news, and Twitter; saved searches monitor mentions, sentiment, and conversations. Users can customize dashboards and schedule exports in PNG, PDF, PPTX, and CSV formats. The Drive plan costs $239 per month, billed monthly, and includes 10 tracked companies, six months of history, one user, and 12-hour metric freshness. Engage and Engage Pro increase the listed company, history, and user limits. A 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the site offers a free Head-to-Head report against one competitor on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Rival IQ says its responsive web design works on phones and tablets through a browser login.
