ilo.so
Comprehensive Twitter analytics. Understand & Grow faster.
Twitter Spaces is becoming more popular, yet the experience for hosts during and after Spaces is severely lacking.
Who was speaking?
Who was most engaged?
How many listeners did we have?
How much of the audience became speakers?
How long was the Space?
How did my last Space compare with my previous Spaces?
How many people listened to my Space last week?
I've solved all of these questions and more with Twitter Spaces analytics in ilo.so.
Spaces analytics lets Spaces hosts view a number of informative metrics, like Participation rate and average listener rate, plus a participation chart from the whole Space.
Essentially, all of your Spaces are also listed in ilo, meaning you can easily go back through your Space history and see who was speaking, for how long, and compare your Spaces over time in a sortable table view.
Twitter Spaces analytics is now available in ilo for $20/month or get four months free at $160/year.
I'm not sure if I ever had a customer target in mind at the beginning of ilo, but reaching 150 customers is a big step for the product.
However, with over 300 million monthly active users, Twitter's user base is a huge market to tap into and 150 is definitely not even scratching the surface.
Next goal: 2,000.
Everything I do will now be to work towards that target.

Awesome Don. Just curious, what's your stack for doing analytics quickly ?
The ilo.so blog is now live.
It is a place to come and learn about Twitter, both how to best use the platform and how to grow on it.
I have a small team of writers contributing, to creating a diverse voice, and big plans to make it an important place to find out how to level up on Twitter.
ilo.so has seen some crazy growth this month, breezing through $600, $700 and $800 MRR in two weeks.
Yesterday it passed the $10K annual recurring revenue mark 🤩
I'm not actually sure what has triggered such growth after taking ~6 months to reach $500 MRR.
Recent updates:
- updated the homepage; better messaging, more social proof
- raised prices
I've also noticed increasing amounts of people on Twitter sharing and discussing ilo. Word of mouth seems like a big win. SEO-related marketing tactics are next on my list.

I signed up, and I really like the analytics. It's simple and clean, and your sign-in process is extremely smooth. There may be other products like, it, but yours is just very clean and simple. If I were you, I would not build more features, until people are begging for them. In fact, I think I might focus more on what makes you unique, and maybe even reduce features. Reduce clutter. You're kicking ass!! Keep it up.

I just signed up and I think the site looks great. A few points of feedback though. At first I honestly didn't know how you had any MRR because I couldn't find any CTA to sign up for a paid version. I had to go to the upper-right dropdown and then click "Billing" to see that you had a paid version.
Also, when I signed up it felt like it was a free service. I didn't notice the "free 14-day trial" messaging when I connected to Twitter. Does all access get cut off after the trial? Is there a free version? Not saying there should be but I just wasn't clear.
Great job! Keep it up!
I've just launched one of my favourite features for ilo.so, my Twitter analytics platform: iOS and Mac widgets.
With the brand new API (launched last week), I decided to create some widgets with the brilliant Scriptable app, which show your live Twitter follower count in iOS and Mac widgets.
I've been running widgets on my iPhone for a month or so now and it's been really cool to see my weekly growth, daily change and current follower count at a glance.
More info on how to create widgets here: ilo.so/twitter-ios-widgets/
ilo.so has a great table view, making it easy to view a lot of your tweets—and their metrics—at a time. But to save space, the tweet text was always truncated.
For the first feature launch in November, I've just added full tweet previews. Simply hover over a tweet and the full tweet (including clickable links) is shown inline.
A few users in the past few weeks have mentioned using ilo for multiple Twitter accounts and how amazing it would be to have a smoother way to go between dashboards (instead of signing in and out each time!)
Today I launched ilo's account switching feature. If you're already signed in, you can simply "Sign in with Twitter" again on a different Twitter account and the accounts get linked together within ilo. It's then just a single click to navigate between dashboards.
With a couple of new customers yesterday, ilo.so is now at $135 MRR.
This is a big milestone for me.
By selling a number of lifetime deals, ilo has already generated over $4k in revenue in September but I see $100 MRR as far more important.
The breakdown is:
• 7 x $50/year earlybird plan
• 10 x $70/year launch plan
• 4 x $12/month regular plan

Today, ilo is on ProductHunt! This marks the official launch.
I started on ilo seven weeks and one day ago, and coded the initial alpha release over two evenings.
The product has changed a lot since, with valuable input from the early users ❤️
I'm nervous and excited to launch on PH, as I've never done it before and I have no idea what to expect. I'll update this post in 24 hours, hopefully with some decent results.
I've created two launch deals: $160 lifetime access and $70/year (discounted from $100/year, forever). Only 100 deals are available. I'm hoping this ploy will help validate the product and generate some early revenue.
Come say hi on ProductHunt! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ilo
Today, ilo passed 400 users.
There has been a nice influx of new users due to the earlybird pricing flash sale.
100 users signed up on Thursday and Friday.
290 had signed up in the previous 34 days since the alpha launch.
I have been watching the background processes to make sure that the all-important data collection and crunching is still doing OK with many more users. Seems fine 💪
Onwards!
