Why is the number different from the app?
Instagram rounds large counts in the app (for example 1.2M). This shows the exact figure from the public profile at the moment you check.
Does it work for private accounts?
The tool is built for public accounts. A private account’s posts and other content are never accessed, and its counts may not be available.
Is it really free?
Yes. You can run a few lookups a day without an account. For more, or to automate it, create a free account: it comes with 100 API credits.
Do I need to log in or connect my account?
No. The tool reads public data only and never asks for a password or account access.
