How it works

Signal, not vanity.

Every audit inspects the followers themselves — not just the follower count. Four dimensions of behavior combine into a single, honest score.

Handle heuristics

Digit tails, gibberish patterns, and vowel-less strings — the fingerprints of mass-generated accounts.

Follow ratios

Accounts that follow thousands while followed by few. The unmistakable shape of a shell.

Profile completeness

No bio, no display name, no posts, no picture. Empty shells tell a story.

Engagement reality

Real accounts leave real traces. Dead engagement across a sample is the loudest signal of all.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Do you need my Instagram password?+

No. checkinsta only reads publicly visible profile data. Private accounts are marked as private and skipped where necessary.

How large is the follower sample?+

You choose between 50 and 200 followers. Verdicts stabilise around 80 — larger samples buy confidence, not correctness.

How accurate is the bot score?+

It is a behavioral signal, not a verdict. High-risk followers are almost always inauthentic; low-risk ones are almost always real. The influencer-level percentage is calibrated against known bot-boosted accounts.

How long does an audit take?+

Typically 60 to 120 seconds, depending on sample size and current scraping conditions.
