Social Blade
Social media statistics platform tracking YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, and Twitter statistics including follower growth, engagement, and estimated earnings.
The problem it solves: I want to check any YouTube or TikTok account's follower growth, estimated earnings, and stats before partnering or competing.
Our verdict: Social Blade instead of SimilarWeb?
Switch if: Creators, journalists, and talent scouts who want free public growth stats and rough earnings ranges for YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, and TikTok accounts.
Don’t switch if: Marketers needing any website-level intelligence — Social Blade tracks social-account follower counts, not site traffic, keywords, channels, or ads — or anyone needing dependable revenue figures.
Biggest caveat: Its famous earnings estimates are extremely wide ballparks built on generic CPM assumptions, and data updates sometimes lag or skip days, which visibly distorts the monthly averages users rely on.

Negative feedback found on public platforms — because every tool has trade-offs, and vendors won't show you these.
“Social Blade in general doesn't update fast enough and the live sub counter is almost never accurate”
“When subscriber and video views data isn't updated on any day and the day is skipped, the monthly average statistics are incorrectly shown”
“It gives a ball-park value of monthly earnings hence it's very difficult to pinpoint the specific values”
“too many display ads on the site , i found these ads can be a distraction as the blink and flash”
