Choosing the right analytics plan is not just about price. It is about matching the tool's capabilities to the complexity of your content operation. A solo creator testing their first series has very different needs than a studio managing twenty concurrent series across four platforms. Overspending on features you do not need is wasteful, but underspending and missing critical data can cost you far more in missed optimization opportunities.
This guide walks through Reelytics pricing tiers, explains what each plan includes, identifies who each plan is designed for, and provides a framework for evaluating whether upgrading makes financial sense for your specific situation.

Who Each Plan Is Best For
Free Plan: Testing the Waters
The Free plan is designed for solo creators who are just starting with serialized content or want to evaluate whether series-level analytics change how they think about their content. With support for up to two series and basic cross-episode retention data, it provides enough to demonstrate the value of series analytics without any financial commitment. If you are publishing your first series on a single platform and want to see episode-over-episode trends, the Free plan covers that.
Creator Plan: Serious Solo Creators
The Creator plan is where Reelytics becomes a genuine business tool. Full retention funnels, two-platform support, basic paywall analytics, and data export give solo creators and small teams the analytical depth needed to make informed decisions about episode pacing, paywall placement, and platform prioritization. This plan suits creators running two to five concurrent series who have moved past the experimental phase and are actively optimizing for audience retention and revenue.
Studio Plan: Multi-Series Operations
The Studio plan is built for content operations managing multiple series across multiple platforms with team collaboration needs. Full platform coverage, advanced paywall analytics, AI-powered optimization recommendations, and support for up to five team members make it the right choice for studios that need standardized reporting and data-driven production decisions. If your team is regularly asking questions like which series to renew, where to set paywalls, and which platforms to prioritize, the Studio plan provides the analytical infrastructure to answer those questions systematically.
Enterprise Plan: Large-Scale Content Operations
The Enterprise plan serves large studios, media companies, and agencies managing extensive content catalogs with dedicated account management and custom integrations. Unlimited everything, dedicated support, and the ability to configure custom analytics pipelines make it suitable for organizations where analytics data feeds directly into production, finance, and distribution systems.
How to Evaluate ROI at Each Tier
The financial value of analytics comes from the decisions it enables you to make better. Here is a practical framework for calculating whether a paid plan pays for itself.
- Paywall optimization: If data-driven paywall placement increases your conversion rate by even a few percentage points, the revenue uplift on a series with thousands of viewers can pay for the tool many times over. A Creator plan that helps you move your paywall from Episode 6 to Episode 8 and increases conversions by 15% generates real, measurable revenue.
- Time savings: If you are currently spending hours per week manually compiling cross-platform data in spreadsheets, the time recovered by automated reporting has a direct financial value, especially for studios paying team members to do that work.
- Retention improvements: Identifying and fixing a drop-off episode that was losing 30% of your audience translates to more viewers reaching monetized content. Even modest retention improvements compound across every episode in a series.
- Platform distribution decisions: Data showing that your series generates three times more revenue per viewer on ReelShort than TikTok can shift your distribution strategy in ways that significantly impact total revenue.
Start with the Free plan to confirm that series-level analytics change how you think about your content. Upgrade when you hit a specific limitation, like needing more than two series or wanting paywall analytics, rather than paying for features you are not ready to use.
Cost Comparison with Alternatives
When evaluating Reelytics pricing, it is useful to compare not just the dollar cost but the analytical coverage relative to alternative tools. Many creators piece together multiple general-purpose tools to approximate what a series-specific platform provides natively.
| Approach | Monthly Cost | Series Analytics | Cross-Platform | Paywall Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Native dashboards only | Free | None | Manual comparison | None |
| Exolyt + Pentos | $88+/mo | Basic grouping only | TikTok only | None |
| Socialinsider + manual tracking | $99+/mo | None | Multi-platform posts | None |
| Reelytics Creator plan | Affordable | Full funnels | 2 platforms | Basic |
| Reelytics Studio plan | Mid-range | Full funnels + AI | All platforms | Advanced |
The key insight is that combining general-purpose tools costs more while delivering less series-specific intelligence than a purpose-built platform. You can spend more on Exolyt and Pentos together than on a Reelytics plan and still lack cross-episode retention funnels, paywall analytics, and cross-platform series normalization.
Start Free, Upgrade When You Need To
Reelytics offers a free tier so you can experience series-level analytics before committing to a paid plan. Connect your account, organize your first series, and see what your data looks like when it is built around episodes, not isolated videos.

- The ROI of analytics comes from better decisions: optimized paywall placement, improved retention, smarter platform distribution, and time savings from automated reporting.
- Combining general-purpose tools like Exolyt and Pentos often costs more than a Reelytics plan while providing less series-specific analytical depth.
- Start with the Free plan to validate the value of series analytics for your specific content strategy before committing to a paid tier.
- Upgrade when you hit a concrete limitation, such as needing more series, paywall tracking, or multi-platform support, rather than paying for features before you need them.
