Creator Roam vs Instagram Insights
Instagram Insights is built for questions about Instagram. Creator Roam is built for travel creators who need Instagram plus TikTok, YouTube, affiliates, and brand-ready stats together.
Quick answer
Use Instagram Insights for quick in-app checks on a single post. Use Creator Roam when you pitch brands, track affiliate income, or plan content across platforms.
Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Instagram Insights | Creator Roam |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-platform view | Instagram only | Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook together |
| Affiliate & tip revenue | Not included | Affiliate and tip income alongside social stats |
| Posts tied to income | Likes and reach only | Insights link content to bookings and sales |
| Brand media kit | Screenshots or manual exports | One live link, verified stats, updates daily |

When Instagram Insights is enough
You only post on Instagram, you just need yesterday's reel reach, and you are not pitching brands or tracking affiliate bookings yet.
When Creator Roam makes sense
You post on multiple platforms, brands ask for fresh stats, or you want to know which posts actually led to hotel bookings and affiliate clicks.
