Use cases

Opah for social media managers: the format that lands, the cadence, and where the audience is against where the posts go

A social media manager uses Opah to read the accounts they run beside the artists they learn from: every post with its likes, comments and views, every video with its plays, saves and shares, read every 72 hours. The reads become the format that lands, the posting cadence against the niche’s, audience against output per platform, and the organic half of the release cycle.

$0.99 a month for your first 3 months on Opah Core, then $19. Cancel any time. Chartmetric is $60 a month for 10 artists; Opah is $19 for 3 or $39 for 10.

The format that lands is not the format posted most

One artist posted 25 reels and 12 carousels in 90 days; the carousels earned a median 3,428 engagements each to a reel’s 2,008. A per-format median is the only read that shows it, because one viral reel drags an average the other way.

The same artist’s audience is 26% on YouTube, which gets 2% of the posts. Audience against output is the read that says where the next month’s posts should go.

The plan that fits

Three plans, priced by how many artists you track. Every plan reads every platform.

Opah Pro
$39a month
10 artists, every platform, cancel any time
  • Opah Core: $19 a month for 3 artists
  • Opah Suite: $89 a month for 30 artists

Ten slots: the accounts you run and the artists whose posting you learn from. Every slot reads Instagram, TikTok and YouTube every 72 hours, plus Spotify daily and every Meta ad the page runs, so the paid side sits beside the organic one.

A coordinator with one or two accounts starts on the three-artist plan.

The pages behind this one

Each read here has its own page: what Opah reads on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and the engagement reads across them.

Questions

More on the FAQ.

Which artists does a social media manager add?
The accounts you run and the artists whose posting you want to learn from. Opah reads Instagram, TikTok and YouTube for each every 72 hours, with no login and nothing connected, and prints the day of each read. Plans start at $19 a month for 3 artists.
Does Opah tell me what to post?
It tells you what landed: median engagement per format over 90 days for each artist, the breakout post against the typical one, saves and shares per 100 likes on TikTok, and how often the artists in the niche post on each platform. The calendar is yours.
Can I see an artist's engagement when likes are hidden?
A hidden like count is left out of the medians and shown as a dash; comments and views still count. No post is counted as a small number because its likes were hidden.
When should the posts go up around a release?
Across the artists Opah tracks, posts peak on release day, the median post lands on it, and the second week after is as busy as the week before. The same chart carries the ads above the line, so the paid and organic calendars read on one axis.
Does Opah schedule or publish posts?
No. It reads what was posted and what it earned, for your accounts and for anyone's. Scheduling stays in the tools you use for it.
