Enter the influencer's followers and average likes to see an authenticity score from 0 to 100, with each signal explained.
Bought followers don't like or comment, so the clearest sign of fake followers is engagement far below what is normal for an account of that size. A second sign is an account that follows almost as many people as follow it, which is typical of follow-for-follow growth.
This free checker scores both signals from 0 to 100 using numbers you can read on any public Instagram profile. Nothing is stored or sent. On Hypee, brands see the same score on every creator who has connected Instagram, calculated from Instagram's own data.
