A better SubredditStats alternative, with a real free tier
SubredditStats is great for a quick subscriber chart. SubredditAnalyzer is built for the next question, when do I post, what do I post, and how strict are the mods. Both pull from Reddit, ours acts on the data.
SubredditStats shows historical subscriber count, post counts, and a few demographic breakdowns for a subreddit.
We track the same metrics and add the part that turns the data into a campaign, hour-by-hour engagement, mod strictness, audience pain points, and posting recommendations.

SubredditStats vs SubredditAnalyzer FAQ
What people ask before switching from SubredditStats.
Do you show subscriber history?+−
Yes. We track subscriber count daily and graph it on each subreddit page, alongside posts and comments per day.
Is the engagement heatmap accurate for small subs?+−
We require a minimum sample of two posts per cell before we recommend a posting window, so small subs may show fewer green cells until enough data accrues. The page is honest about this.
Can I track NSFW or private subs?+−
We track NSFW subs that are publicly viewable. Private subs are not supported.
Is there a Chrome extension?+−
Not yet. The web app and the API cover the same use cases.
