Add any public Instagram account. Next time you check, Follist shows you exactly who it started following, and who it quietly dropped.
Built for fans, creators & brands
From a celebrity’s new follow to a competitor’s new partner
Public moves, clearly explained.
A single scan creates the baseline. Every scan after that tells you what appeared, what disappeared, and how reliable the result is.
Enter the Instagram username. Follist only reads public information—no password or account connection.
The first scan records every account that profile follows. This becomes the list future scans compare against.
When you run the next scan, you see newly followed accounts, possible unfollows, timestamps, and result quality.
Follist doesn’t just count. For every change you see the account’s profile picture, its @username and name, when it was detected and how sure we are. Tap any of them to open it on Instagram.
We call these “possible” until another complete scan also finds them missing.
Each report compares two specific scans. You see the accounts added to the following list, the ones no longer present, when the change was detected, and whether it still needs confirmation.
The same clear comparison answers a fan’s question, sharpens a creator’s instinct and gives a brand team real evidence about the market. See example scenarios →
Who did your favourite artist, footballer or reality star just follow? New collabs, signings and rumours often show up in a following list first.
Notice new collaborators, brand relationships and movements among creators in your niche before they become obvious.
Track competitors, talent and partner accounts. See which creators a rival brand starts following and give every campaign decision real evidence.
Share what you find. The accounts you check are always public; the people you check them with are up to you.
Spotted a new follow from your favourite artist? Save it as a report and share it with your group chat. Everyone sees the same dated proof.
Running the family shop or café? Keep an eye on the public accounts of the competition and the brands you stock.
Share PDF reports with your team or clients, so everyone works from the same list of changes and the same dates.
One flexible plan for however many public accounts you care about.
