What Exolyt does, so you know what you are replacing

Exolyt is a TikTok social intelligence platform: account, hashtag, and sound analytics, social listening projects, share of voice, sentiment, and influencer campaigns.

The free Basic plan tracks 1 account, 1 hashtag, and 1 sound with 7 days of history. Essentials is $400 a month ($330 billed yearly) for 50 accounts, 90 days of history, and data updated twice a day. Advanced is $950 a month ($790 billed yearly) for 300 accounts, at least 1 year of history, 6 updates a day, and age and gender analytics. Every plan includes 10 team members.

People usually look for an alternative because it covers TikTok only, because of the price jump from free to $400, or because 90 days of history is not enough.

The alternatives

Buzzlytics

For teams that used Exolyt to track accounts and creators rather than to listen. Buzzlytics tracks any public profile or post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, Snapchat, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky, and keeps full history on every paid plan.

You pick refresh per dashboard, from hourly to weekly. Agencies get branded live client dashboards, scheduled PDF reports, alerts, TikTok sound and Instagram audio tracking, an audience quality score, API access, and a Claude and ChatGPT connector.

Agency plans are $29 (Starter, 1 seat), $79 (Growth, 3 seats), and $199 (Scale, 25 seats) a month, about 20% less billed yearly. A $9 Creator plan covers people tracking their own accounts. One free profile unlock, no card.

What it does not do: social listening and share of voice, age and gender demographics, post scheduling, an inbox, or sending creator payouts.

Socialinsider

For competitor benchmarking across networks. Socialinsider covers TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube, and counts competitor accounts across all of them.

Adapt is $99 a month, or $990 a year, for up to 20 social accounts, 3 months of history, and 1 seat. Predict ($2,390 a year) raises that to 40 accounts, 12 months of history, and 5 seats. There is a 14-day free trial.

Sprout Social

For teams that also publish and reply on their own accounts. Sprout Social is a full social media suite with a 30-day free trial.

Essentials is $79 per seat a month billed yearly ($99 billed monthly) with 5 social profiles. Standard is $199, Professional $299 (with extensive competitor insights), and Advanced $399 per seat a month. Listening and Premium Analytics are add-ons from Standard up.

Brandwatch

For enterprise research teams that need listening across the whole web, not just TikTok. Brandwatch sells consumer intelligence, social media management, and influencer marketing suites.

It does not publish prices. You book a demo.

Virlo

For creative and content teams who used Exolyt to spot trends. Virlo finds outlier videos and breaks down hooks, formats, and scripts, with account tracking and Slack and Discord alerts.

Starter is $49 a month for 2,000 credits after a 7-day free trial. Pro is $199 for 12,000 credits. Its API includes MCP and webhooks.

Modash

For influencer teams who used Exolyt's influencer database. Modash searches creators on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with a CRM, inbox, and automatic tracking of campaign posts.

Essentials is $199 a month billed yearly with 100 tracked creators. There is a 14-day free trial with no card.

HypeAuditor

For audience quality and fraud checks before you sign a creator. HypeAuditor covers discovery, influencer analytics, campaign management, and a media monitor.

Campaign management and media plans are free to start. Other plans are priced through sales.

How to choose

Name the job. Listening (what people say about a brand) is Exolyt, Brandwatch, or Sprout's Listening add-on. Tracking (what specific accounts and creators get) is Buzzlytics or Socialinsider. Recruiting creators is Modash or HypeAuditor.

Check platforms. If any of your creators or competitors post outside TikTok, Exolyt cannot see that half of the picture.

Check history. Exolyt keeps 90 days on Essentials. Socialinsider keeps 3 to 12 months by plan. Buzzlytics keeps full history on paid plans.

Check seats. Exolyt includes 10 seats on every plan, which is generous. Sprout charges per seat.

Run three accounts you already track through a free plan or trial before you switch.
