The 6 best free TikTok analytics tools
TikTok Studio — Start with your own account
Start here for your own account and content performance. TikTok’s Studio introduction describes free analytics, audience information and content-management tools.
Log in and inspect the reports available to your account before adding another dashboard. For someone else’s public activity, use a TikTok account audit or a public lookup below.
Free access: Free native tool; TikTok login required.
Countik — Quick public checks and a CSV
Countik returned a public account overview, engagement summaries, hashtags and original video links without registration. Its CSV download worked and contained 15 video rows, making it useful when you want a quick spreadsheet.
Check the sample labels: the analytics page describes the last 20 videos, while our report’s engagement chart said “last 10 posts.” The CSV also included older posts. Treat its earnings figure as an estimate, not creator revenue. For benchmarking, first choose comparable accounts.
Free access: Free public lookup and CSV; no registration in our check.
Metricool Free — Connected-account monitoring
Metricool Free suits monitoring your own TikTok alongside other social accounts. It documents one brand and 30 days of analytics, with a TikTok connection required. Its connection guide supports Personal and Business accounts.
Do not assume its general competitor feature covers TikTok: the supported-network list does not include it. Client reports and PDF/PPT exports also require checking the paid plans.
Free access: Free plan: one brand and 30 days of analytics; authorize your TikTok account.
Exolyt Basic — Limited TikTok tracking
Exolyt focuses on TikTok tracking. Its Basic plan lists one tracked account, seven days of chart history and once-daily updates at US$0.
That fits a small, stable watchlist, not a broad competitor dashboard. Basic lists zero social-listening projects; longer history and other paid features should not be assumed to remain available after a trial.
Free access: Ongoing US$0 Basic plan; an Exolyt account and tracking allowance are required.
Kabo Free — Analyze, ask follow-ups, then write
Kabo’s AI Agent supports account analysis and video research, with follow-up questions in the same conversation. Choose it when you want to discuss the evidence and turn references into a content idea.
Free daily credits limit how much you can do. Ask which posts and fields were available before relying on a batch result; see the example below for what our Free-account workflow produced.
Free access: Free daily credits and a Kabo login; no owner connection needed for public research.
From public account data to a filmable TikTok
We asked Kabo to research 20 fixed video URLs from @urhotnonnaa, a family-cooking and lifestyle account. Its CSV covered all supplied links, with caption-level observations; shares and visual frames were unavailable.
We then kept a birthday-cake post and a foggy-kitchen pasta post as references for three original cookie-video directions. Kabo chose The Kitchen Mistake for a solo creator and drafted a 25-second sequence with shots, screen text, voiceover and a caption.
The useful part was keeping the references and constraints through analysis, ideas and writing. The plan was a creative proposal, not measured retention; revise it around a tested recipe. A TikTok video ideas tool offers a smaller starting task.
Before comparing the numbers
Match the included posts, period and interactions before comparing an engagement rate. A fixed URL list, a recent-post report and a 30-day summary are different samples; higher displayed percentages do not establish a better tool.
Public lookups do not expose a competitor’s private retention, traffic sources or audience demographics. Use an authorized report for your own account. If your task is choosing music, see the TikTok trending-sound tools comparison.
Free TikTok analytics tools FAQ
What is the best free TikTok analytics tool for my own account?
Start with TikTok Studio. Consider Metricool Free if you want your connected TikTok alongside other networks, within its 30-day history limit.
Can I analyze a competitor without connecting my TikTok account?
Countik and Socialinsider’s free Audit accepted a public handle without registration. Kabo required its own login but no TikTok owner connection. These paths use public evidence.
Which free option lets me export data?
Countik downloaded a 15-row CSV; Kabo generated a CSV for our 20-link task. Socialinsider’s free Audit provided a summary. We did not verify free exports from the other tools.
How we checked
Checked October 22, 2026. We obtained results from Kabo, Countik and Socialinsider’s free Audit. TikTok Studio and Metricool stopped at access gates; Exolyt Basic features come from official documentation because the existing session was a trial. Samples differed, and native checks covered only selected posts. Inputs, results, CSVs and screenshots are retained. No new connections, purchases, trials or growth tests were performed.
Socialinsider Audit — A 30-day overview
The free TikTok Audit suits a quick check of posting frequency, engagement and top posts. Our successful query showed the correct account, a stated 30-day period, 58 posts and three top-video links.
The first query was still collecting data; one later resubmission worked. This is a summary checker, not a full post dataset or the subscription dashboard. Use its top links to choose what to inspect next.
Free access: Free public checker; no sign-up required.
