What It Is

Clearcast is a client reporting automation tool for independent social media managers and micro-agencies. Its core promise is to turn the monthly process of taking screenshots, copying and pasting data, formatting slides, and exporting PDFs—which can take 1–2 hours per client—into automatically generated and delivered monthly reports. The product is currently accepting Beta users.

Core Features and Data Sources

Based on the available text, Clearcast mainly connects to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok business accounts. It automatically pulls social media metrics such as followers, reach, and engagement rate, then generates clean, branded PDFs. Reports support month-over-month comparisons, showing how each metric has changed versus the previous month and reducing manual spreadsheet work. It also supports uploading an agency logo and brand colors for white-label delivery, and reports can be emailed to clients automatically every month.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is very straightforward: one plan at £29/month. Beta users get the first month free, and joining the waitlist does not require a credit card. The plan includes connections to the three major social platforms, unlimited clients and reports, white labeling, month-over-month comparisons, automated sending, and short-form PDFs. Compared with AgencyAnalytics at £59/month and Whatagraph at £249/month, both mentioned in the source text, Clearcast is clearly priced more for individuals and small teams.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its focused positioning: it specifically addresses the monthly reporting pain point for solo SMMs. Instead of trying to be a complex dashboard product, it outputs PDFs around the growth, reach, and engagement metrics clients are most likely to care about. White labeling and automatic delivery also fit well with agency workflows. The limitations are that it is still in Beta, so stability, data accuracy, and long-term support remain unknown. The disclosed platform support is limited to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, with no visible integrations for Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube, or SEO data. Customer support, payment methods, permission management, and security/compliance details are also not specified.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Clearcast is best suited to freelance social media managers, small social media studios, and micro-agencies managing around 5–20 clients—especially those still creating monthly reports manually with Google Slides, Excel, and screenshots. It is less suitable for agencies that need complex cross-channel BI, SEO rank tracking, or large-team permission workflows. The source text does not disclose access conditions from China. Since it depends on overseas platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, real-world usage may be affected by network conditions, account permissions, and payment methods. Alternatives include AgencyAnalytics, Whatagraph, Hootsuite reports, or continuing to build reports manually with spreadsheets and slides.
