Instagram isn't just fun to use, it's also one of the fastest growing platforms on the planet and is gearing up to launch advertising later this year.

However the platform remains light on the reporting side, which is where Statigram comes in.

Analyse this

Statigram is a very clever web service designed to offer in-depth metrics for your Instagram account, offering more meaningful data than Likes and Shares.

For example, Statigram reports on who your most engaged fans are, and the most popular days and times to share images. You can also track conversations and see which filters resound most with your audience.

We also like the way Statigram employs a global map to represent which regions your users are located in.

Data is refreshed every time you log in and delivered via a graphical dashboard, that shows your month-on-month performance. Reports can also be mailed directly to multiple email accounts.

No contest

In addition to analytics, Statigram also allows you to run photo and video contents on Instagram.

The service also integrates with HootSuite and offers an Instagram feed tab for Facebook.

Happy campers

Statigram currently has 7 million users and is employed by over 150,000 brands in 200 countries. Some of its clients include Coca Cola, Ford and AMEX.
