Comparison The Comparison module allows users to compare the dynamics of their own accounts, competitors' accounts, and projects over any given period of time.

> In the "Comparison" module, you can analyze only accounts that have been added to your Dashboard in LiveDune. All accounts to be compared must be on your Dashboard. By clicking on the "Choose accounts for comparison" button, a window with account and project selection options opens:

You can select multiple accounts by clicking on the gray toggles, or you can choose an entire project by hitting "Select all". Moreover, if you need to compare several projects, you can go to the "Projects" section:

You can also tag accounts and then select them for Comparison according to tags:

**In each tag** - only accounts containing the selected tags will be included in the comparison. **In any tag** - all accounts containing at least one of the selected tags will be included in the comparison. > To assign tags to an account on the Dashboard, click on the empty flag and select previously created tags in the modal window.

To create a new tag, click "Add tag" in the right corner of the window, enter the name and select the corresponding color. Save. For convenience and speed, you can also select accounts for comparative analysis directly on the Dashboard. - To compare accounts in a project, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and choose "Compare accounts".

- To compare specific accounts, click on the checkmark icon, select the desired accounts, and click the "Compare accounts" button.

After selecting accounts/projects, a summary table with charts will appear. By default, the comparison period is set to 3 months. To choose a different period, open the calendar in the upper right corner and select the desired interval:

To choose which metrics to compare, click the gear icon above the table to select the metrics for analysis. Depending on the social network, the following comparison metrics will be available:

- Followers

- Posts

- Reactions (likes, comments, reposts, votes, saves)

- Views

- Reach

- Engagement Rate (ER, ERR, ERV)

Press the "Compare accounts" button to apply the metric settings. **The top table** will present summary values over the period for the selected accounts.

Download the data from the Comparison via the "Export data" button at the top right.

In comparison, there is a limitation - you can upload no more than 3,000 posts.

  • Green - the maximum values in the column, that is, the leaders in the indicator are marked. Also, the numbers with positive dynamics for the period for the column with the number of subscribers will be highlighted in green.

  • The numbers with negative dynamics for the period for the column with the number of subscribers are highlighted in red.

  • Gray values are values that, in principle, cannot be calculated for this social network

  • Large numbers - the sum of the parameter for the analyzed period

  • Small numbers are the average value of the parameter for the analyzed period. For a column with the number of subscribers

  • If none of the accounts have data for one of the columns, then they will not be displayed
