The data provided by the Hashtag Analyzer, Social Audit and Interest Browser tool comes directly from Facebook™’s and Instagram™’s official business account API. Connecting your account, therefore, ensures a secure connection and data flow and allows us to NOT use shady tactics to get the data from Facebook™.

Is your Instagram™ account a creator or business account? Instagram™ only let’s us connect these types of accounts. Here’s how to turn your normal account into a creator or business account.

Another problem could be that you didn’t choose your Instagram™ account in the Facebook™ pop-up that displays after clicking “Connect with Facebook™”. On the “Which Instagram™ Business accounts do you want to use with Neontools.io?” screen, you need to check the ones you want to use before clicking next.

A last issue might be that you didn’t give neontools the permissions it needs on the last screen of the Facebook™ pop-up. Make sure to give all the permissions required.

If nothing works, you can also try to disconnect Facebook™ and remove neontools permissions as describe here.

Here’s a tutorial on how to connect your social accounts.

Yes, absolutely no strings attached. You just need to verify your email address and, for certain tools, connect your Facebook™ and Instagram™ account.

With the Free plan, you can use every tool. However, you will only be able to create 3 neon.lys, 3 neon.pages, and make 3 collections for Social Audit and Hashtag Analyzer. Furthermore, some more advanced features are only available in the Pro plan. Check out the pricing page for more info!

Going Pro unlocks every feature, except custom domains which have to be purchased additionally. Check out the pricing page for an overview of all the features! To go Pro, simply go to the Upgrade to neontoolsPro page and follow the steps. If you need more help, this guide might help you or sent us a message at support@neontools.io.

To use custom domains, you need to add them to your Pro plan. To do so, go to the payment plan settings page and use the + sign to add custom domain slots to your plan. Make sure you add them for the right tool. You cannot switch slots between neon.ly and neon.page. After finishing the payment process, you can configure your domains in the Domain Customization page.

Sure – whenever you want. Apart from cancelling the complete Pro plan, you can modify the number of custom domains slots you pay for. Simply go to your payment plan settings and edit the number of custom domain slots using the + and – signs. Note that custom domains slots that you disable cannot be used by a neon.ly or neon.page at the moment of cancelling.

Sure – whenever you want. Once you cancel, your payment plan will not be renewed, but it will still be valid until the end of the period you paid for. You can cancel here.

Canceling your subscription has the following consequences :

• Short-links using a custom domain will be disabled.
• Pages using a custom domain will be disabled.
• Your tags will not be available anymore.
• You cannot create more than 3 neon.lys, neon.pages and collections.
• You will only be able to edit your 3 most recent neon.lys, neon.pages and collections.

Sure – whenever you want. Apart from cancelling the complete Pro plan, you can modify the number of custom domains slots you pay for. Simply go to your payment plan settings and edit the number of custom domain slots using the + and – signs. Note that custom domains slots that you disable cannot be used by a neon.ly or neon.page at the moment of cancelling.

A custom domain is a way to create links that include your brand, i.e. replacing “neon.ly” or “neon.page” with something of your choice.

When a link includes your brand, people will associate your links with you or your company. Seeing your brand, they also trust your links, resulting in more efficient click-through rates.

For example, when Wengler shortens a link with neon.ly, instead of being branded as neon.ly/3th3Rr the link shows their own custom domain (wnglr.lu/3th3Rr).

For now, this is not possible. You can only use custom domains that you already own. When purchasing a paid plan on neontools, you will NOT buy a custom domain. Domains have to be purchased at a DNS service provider. More info in our guide.

No, this is not recommended. For the best experience, delete all records on your domain that are not related to neontools. In other words, you should not have records that overlap with the neontools ones.

Yes, you can. Let’s say you use “hodl.com” as your custom domain. Create a neon.page using your custom domain (with any slug) e.g. “hodl.com/xyz”. In the edit tab, open the top dropdown and choose toggle the switch for “Use this neon.page as Home page for this domain.”

Furthermore, you can also set an Error Page, which will be shown when people use your custom domain with a slug that does not exist (e.g. “hodl.com/thisslugdoesnotexist”).

It might take some time for your domain to verify. If nothing happens after a certain time, refresh the page. However, if your domain is not verified after around an hour, make sure that you’ve set your DNS records correctly, as explained here.

Yes, but not immediately. Once you cancel your paid plan with custom domains, your links and neon pages will continue to work until the last day of your billing cycle. After that, your links and pages will still be displayed as “untitled/xyxyxy” in your account.

They will not work anymore but are stored in case you want to re-use them with another domain. To re-assign your links and pages to a custom domain you can either reactivate the same custom domain you’ve used before, or you can open the edit tab of your link and click on the “Use custom domain” field, then choose another domain and you’re done.
