Until now, Stellar has offered a quantitative analysis of your campaigns, displaying results in terms of KPIs. But a qualitative analysis is now available only in the Reports module (on Instagram exclusively for now... but stay tuned!) thanks to the launch of our new feature that enables you to:

  • Analyze the feelings and reactions of your ambassadors' audience towards your campaign.

  • Track the most frequently used mentions, emojis, and keywords.

  • Find out the perception and appreciation of a particular content, product, or brand.

  • Identify influencers and brand advocates who resonate with your target audience.

  • Detect product purchase intent.

Do know that this feature is available in the following languages: Dutch/Arabic/Hindi/Portuguese/German/English/Spanish/French/Italian. And, that once you launch an analysis, it typically takes a few hours to be ready. Please also note that your analyses are valid for 12 months, and can be unlocked in all current, future or closed reports less than 3 months ago.


Get started with sentiment analysis by following our step-by-step guide!


For an in-depth understanding of quantitative and qualitative indicators, we invite you to download our eBook. This comprehensive guide will walk you through a variety of marketing indicators and provide you with the essential knowledge before you begin measuring and analyzing your results.

How can I buy analysis packs?

Analysis packs (x5/x10/x15) will be available for purchase from the "Billing" tab (next to the number of analyses remaining):


But also from the Report module, by clicking on the "Sentiment Analysis" tab:

Once the analyses pack has been selected, the administrator must enter his or her password and payment can be made, then validated and the number of analyses selected is automatically added to the account. Analyses are valid for 12 months and can be unlocked in any current, forthcoming or closed report less than 3 months ago.

How to unlock an analysis?

As each analysis is subject to a fee, sentiment analysis is not displayed by default in every report. This means that the user must manually trigger the analysis.


⚠️ We strongly advise you to launch sentiment analyses at the end of a campaign, as the user will have to launch a new paid analysis to analyze comments posted afterwards.


  • I cannot trigger sentiment analysis if :

    • I don't have the Reports module activated in my subscription.

    • I am not the account administrator.

    • the report I want to analyze contains more than 10,000 comments (please contact help@stellar.io if you would like a quotation to analyze reports with more than 10,000 comments).

    • I have no/no more analyses available in my plan.

    • the end date of my report exceeds the last three months.

Once the analysis has been launched, a loading page will indicate that the analysis is being created. You'll receive an e-mail informing you when the analysis is ready, with a link to the report in question: simple, fast, and effective!

How to analyze my campaign?

  • 📊 Overall sentiment view: positive, neutral, negative

This graph shows the distribution of comments on campaign posts according to the sentiment detected by the algorithm: positive, neutral, and negative.

  • # View of the most used keywords


Every word in all the campaign comments is counted:

- No difference between upper and lower case.

- Hashtags are counted as words.

- Comments threads are not counted.

- Numbers indicate the number of times the word has been used.

- Top 10 most used keywords.

  • @🧑 View of top mentions and commentators

  • 🔎 View of the most used emojis

  • 💬 View my campaign comments

By default, the 10 most liked comments are displayed but you can also filter them by relevance. When you click on a comment line, the corresponding post will be displayed on the right-hand side of your screen.

  • I can filter comments

- via the search bar: search by keyword and limited to 50 characters.

- via positive/neutral/negative sentiment: by clicking directly on the corresponding graph section.


⚠️ The sentiment graph and top keywords/mentions/emojis are based on filtered comments only.
