What metrics does the Instagram comparison tool show?

The tool compares follower count, engagement rate, average likes per post, average comments per post, posting frequency (posts per week), and engagement trend (improving, stable, or declining). Each metric highlights the winner between the two accounts.

How is the winner determined for each metric?

The account with the higher value wins each metric. For example, the account with the higher engagement rate wins that category. If both accounts have the same value, it's marked as a tie.

Can I compare any two Instagram accounts?

Yes, you can compare any two public Instagram accounts. Simply enter both handles and the tool will fetch their recent post data to generate a side-by-side comparison.

What is a good Instagram engagement rate?

Instagram engagement rates vary by follower count. Generally, above 5% is excellent, 3-5% is good, 1-3% is average, and below 1% is low. Smaller accounts typically have higher engagement rates than larger ones.

How is the engagement trend calculated?

We analyze engagement rates across recent posts using linear regression to determine if an account's performance is improving, declining, or stable over time. This helps you understand momentum.

Is the comparison tool free to use?

Methodology

Our Instagram comparison tool fetches recent posts from both accounts and computes key performance metrics. Engagement rate is calculated as (likes + comments) / followers x 100 across recent posts (the same formula used by our Instagram Engagement Rate Calculator). Average likes and comments are computed from the most recent 60 posts. Posting frequency is measured as posts per week based on posting timestamps. The engagement trend uses linear regression on engagement rates over time to determine if performance is improving, declining, or stable. We also cross-reference engagement patterns to help spot potential fake followers — for a dedicated check, try our Instagram Fake Follower Checker. The winner for each metric is the account with the higher value — ties are shown when values are equal.
