Yes, always. No credit card, no signup. The free diagnostic gives you the score, the three subscores, the data point and a preview of the full teardown. The free tier is rate-limited (15 audits per day per IP) — enough for a creator, more than enough for an agency exploring.
The $29 one-shot unlocks the full teardown for a single handle, accessible for 30 days via a private link. The $39/month Pro plan tracks one handle continuously — a new Verdict every month, updated benchmarks, evolving recommendations. Pro is for operators who want a verdict every month, not just once.
Yes. Cancel from your billing page in one click. You keep access until the end of the billing period. No retention call, no exit survey.
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email us within 14 days of payment and you get a full refund. This applies to one-shot, Pro and Agency.
Instagram and TikTok at launch — both fully supported, same depth of analysis, same verdict format. LinkedIn and YouTube are on the roadmap. The pipeline is platform-agnostic; we ship verticals one at a time so each one is honest.
We detect the dominant language of the account's content and generate the report in that language. English, French and Spanish are supported at launch. Accounts that post mostly in another language fall back to English for now.
Amir Davies, founder and editor, building solo from Paris. Bootstrapped, no investors. The Letter from the Editor on the /about page tells the longer story.
No. We only read public Instagram and TikTok data. We don't sell anything to third parties. We don't use your account's data to train generic models. The full privacy policy is on /legal/privacy.
Still unanswered? hello@teardown.social
I spent three years building SaaS. The pattern I kept seeing was the same: people posting on Instagram for years without knowing why one post worked and another didn't. Every tool gave them a number. None of them gave a reading.
Teardown is the reading. It's the AI strategist a senior agency would assign to your account — except it doesn't bill $2,000 and it doesn't take three weeks. It takes ten seconds.
If it's wrong about your brand, I want to hear from you. I read every reply.
