The problem
Sound familiar?
You post consistently. You study trends. You watch your competitors. But your numbers stay flat and you can't figure out why.
The problem is not your content. It's that you're flying blind.
Instagram tells you a Reel underperformed. It never tells you why. So you guess. You tweak. You post again. Same result.
What if you could see what your viewers see?
The exact second they stopped watching.
The hook that made them stay or swipe.
The edit that killed your momentum.
That's what Reelyze shows you.

In their words
Before Reelyze, I mostly created content based on instinct. If a video did well, I couldn't always explain why, and if it flopped, I didn't know what to change. Since using it, I've become much more intentional. Instead of guessing, I'm planning around data, analyzing retention, identifying where people drop off, and improving my storytelling before I even hit publish.
One of my videos ended up performing over 500% better than my typical content, and another increased by more than 200%. I don't think Reelyze magically makes videos go viral. It changes the way you think about creating them. It feels like having an experienced content strategist reviewing every idea and every edit.

Reelyze watches your video like an editor would.
Drop any Reel, TikTok, or Short and Reelyze analyzes it frame-by-frame - hook strength, scene pacing, on-screen text, transcript, and audio-visual alignment - then delivers a structured report and a blunt verdict on why it worked or flopped.
- Hook + first-3-second retention score
- Scene-by-scene pacing & on-screen text (OCR)
- Performance diagnosis with timestamps to fix
Every post, every metric - finally readable.
Connect Instagram and Reelyze syncs all your reels with the metrics that actually drive reach: save rate, share rate, retention, reach-per-follower, follow rate, posting cadence and momentum - with a clear best/worst breakdown.
- Auto-sync all posts
- Derived rates, not raw numbers
- Best day · best format · momentum
Ideas, scripts, and a voiceover - in your style.
Content Studio fuses your top-performing posts with your tracked competitors' winners to generate content ideas and full timed scripts - hook, beats, CTA, caption, hashtags, and an on-screen retention plan. Pick the length, the language, and even generate the voiceover.
- Scripts built from what works for YOU + your niche
- Set the length (15 - 90s) & language
- AI voiceover via your ElevenLabs voice
Stop posting Reels until you fix this one thing.
Your first frame is a slow intro - viewers are already gone.
Comment GOAL and I'll send the exact script.
A strategist that has actually seen your account.
The Coach reads every synced post and your derived analytics, then tells you what's working, what to fix, and the single metric to focus on next - prioritized hook-first, the way reach is actually won. Then chat with it about any post.
- Grounded in your real data
- Hook → shares → saves priority
- Improvement tracked over time
3-second retention. Your hooks pull views but lose them fast - fix this before anything else.
Reels with a face in frame 1 hold 2.1× longer - see the “morning routine” reel.
See the exact moment viewers leave - and why.
Reelyze pinpoints each drop-off in your video and explains the cause in plain English: a slow hook, dead air, a buried payoff. Run it predictively from the analysis, or upload your retention graph for the exact curve.
- Timestamped drop-off moments
- Cause + concrete fix for each
- Predictive or from your real graph
Hook is a slow setup; payoff hidden until 0:06.
→ Cold-open on the result.
3s of B-roll with no narration.
→ Cut to the next point or add a caption.

FAQ
What is Reelyze, exactly?
- What is Reelyze?
- Reelyze is an AI reel analyzer. Paste any Instagram Reel, TikTok, or YouTube Short and it watches the video frame-by-frame - hook, pacing, on-screen text, and the exact second viewers drop off - then tells you the specific fixes. Unlike analytics dashboards that only show numbers, Reelyze sees the actual video and explains why it performed the way it did.
- Who is Reelyze for?
- Short-form content creators, social media managers, influencers, and brands who want to know why a reel underperformed and how to fix it, not just see view counts.
- Does Reelyze need my Instagram login?
- No. Paste any public Reel, TikTok, or Short link to get a full frame-by-frame analysis. Connecting your own Instagram account for deeper, personalized analytics is rolling out separately.
- How is Reelyze different from tools like Metricool or Iconosquare?
- Those are dashboards that report your numbers. Reelyze watches the actual video and points to the exact second viewers dropped and what to change. Many creators use both: a dashboard to track, Reelyze to diagnose.
- Is Reelyze free?
- Yes. The free tools (reel transcript, downloader, audio extractor) need no sign-up, and a free account gives you 1 full frame-by-frame analysis and 1 Content Studio script with no card required. Paid plans add higher monthly limits, competitor tracking, and more, and every paid plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
