Question 1

How often are the numbers updated?

Accepted Answer

Each account is refreshed once per day. The first search of the day pulls fresh numbers from Instagram and saves a snapshot; every search after that is served instantly from our database.

Question 2

Whose Instagram accounts can I track?

Accepted Answer

Any public Instagram account — a celebrity, a competitor, a brand, or your own. For private accounts, follower, following, and post counts are still shown because those totals are public.

Question 3

Do I need to log in or connect my Instagram?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no login and nothing to install. We only read publicly visible profile numbers, and the account you look up is never notified.

Question 4

Where does the growth chart come from?

Accepted Answer

From the daily snapshots we save. The more days an account is tracked, the longer its follower-growth line becomes, so you can see trends over weeks and months.
