Social Network Analyzer
by AppStellix
Social Network Analyzer, from AppStellix, has been around since 2014 and recently received a late 2025 update. It targets creators and business account holders who want to look beyond surface-level likes and understand which posts quietly draw attention. The pitch is reasonable enough, but a store rating of 2.02 across 406 reviews is a loud signal that real-world results are not matching the promise. Add a subscription that tops out at $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and skepticism is warranted before you hand over payment details.
What It Actually Offers
The app is restricted to Business and Creator accounts, which immediately cuts out a large chunk of casual users. Within that audience, it surfaces data on post performance with a focus on so-called silent engagement, views or attention that does not register as a like or comment. The free tier covers only your most recent posts, so anything resembling a genuine content audit sits firmly behind the paywall. At $1.99 a week on the cheapest plan, costs stack up fast for what amounts to a narrow analytics slice.
A Rating That Cannot Be Ignored
A 2.02 average from over 400 ratings is not a rough patch, it is a persistent pattern. The app has had more than a decade to mature since its 2014 launch, and the December 2025 update shows it is still being maintained. Yet user sentiment has not recovered. At 31 MB the install is light, but a small footprint does not offset concerns about reliability or value. Prospective users should read recent reviews carefully before committing to any paid tier.
Who Might Still Find It Useful
A creator who is already on a Business or Creator account, wants a quick passive-engagement snapshot, and is willing to test the free tier without upgrading could get some marginal value here. The yearly plan at $49.99 is the most defensible price point if the core features actually hold up for a given account type. For anyone running serious analytics needs, dedicated platform dashboards or more established third-party tools are almost certainly a better starting point.
Pros
- Light 31 MB install with no heavy onboarding overhead
- Focuses on a specific gap, passive or silent post engagement
- Yearly plan at $49.99 is relatively affordable if the app delivers
- Still actively maintained, with a version 3.4 update in late 2025
Cons
- Store rating of 2.02 from 406 users is a serious red flag
- Free tier is limited to only the latest posts, forcing an early upgrade decision
- Weekly subscription at $1.99 becomes expensive very quickly
- Restricted to Business and Creator accounts, excluding most personal users
- Over ten years on the market with no meaningful improvement in user satisfaction
