Marketing tools for the UK market, not the US one
Almost every free social media calculator online uses US dollars, US benchmarks and US posting times. If you're running a UK small business or brand, that data is close enough to sound right, but wrong enough to lead you in the wrong direction.
UK data, in £ sterling
Engagement benchmarks from UK accounts. Pricing calculators in £. Posting times in GMT. Everything localised for the market you're actually trying to grow in.
No email-gate to see results
Your numbers are yours. Every tool gives you the full result instantly, on the page, no sign-up required. You only share an email if you want a downloadable branded PDF of your results.
Built by an actual UK agency
Every tool is designed by the Velena Lifestyle team, the same people behind client work featured in Vogue, Condé Nast and TimeOut. Built from real agency experience, not templated AI output.
Updated with the latest data
2026 benchmarks aren't the same as 2022 benchmarks. Engagement rates dropped 24% year-on-year. We keep our data current, so the advice you get reflects what's actually working right now.
Free tools, real agency help
We build these free tools because we believe the information imbalance in social media marketing, where SME brands pay for advice that's already available in better form elsewhere, is the single biggest reason most UK small businesses waste money on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. If a free calculator or audit can save a brand from that, we've done our job.
If you want more than a tool can offer, a real person, real strategy, and a plan tailored to your specific business, we also run a full UK social media agency offering managed services, UGC packages, LinkedIn strategy and paid media. Every tool on this page links to the service that most naturally follows from what the tool revealed. No pressure. You can use every tool here a hundred times and never pay us a penny.
Tell us what free tool to build next
We're building new free tools every month. If there's a calculator, audit or generator you wish existed, email us the idea and we'll build it. Best ideas get named after you in the tool credits.
