See your follower count day by day, going back over time
With NapoleonCat’s Instagram analytics, you can keep track of your Instagram follower count over selected periods of time, whether it’s last week or the past 30 days. You’ll see graphs with daily fluctuations of followers, and can monitor many Instagram accounts in one place, without relogging or switching devices.
Instagram follower tracker: Spot the gains and drops and tie them to what you posted
NapoleonCat’s Instagram follower tracker shows you how the follower count changes daily, helping you clearly attribute follows and unfollows to specific events, recommendations, and content on your Instagram account. No guesswork or wondering what caused people to suddenly leave in droves.
Competitor analytics: Compare your follower history against rival Instagram accounts
You can also use NapoleonCat to track Instagram followers count for the profiles of other brands, including your competitors. The competitive analytics feature lets you compare both the follower count and available content performance metrics side by side for easy insights and benchmarking.
Automated reports: Export your follower count history into scheduled, shareable reports
Schedule automated reports that include relevant Instagram followers count history. They’ll be automatically generated every week, month, or quarter, and even automatically emailed to you and other stakeholders. You can also include the metrics for other social media channels you manage and competitive comparisons in the reports.
Multi-profile tracking: Keep a separate follower history for every Instagram account you run
Track the follower count for every Instagram account you manage, no matter how many you’re currently handling. You’ll keep them in one place and can include them together in Instagram performance reports to compare follower count fluctuations across brands and campaigns.
Audience insights: Understand who is behind your follower growth, not just the number
Besides just the follower count, you can also see into your follower demographics, including geographical location by country and city, age and gender – all for a deeper insight into your audience and a tighter engagement strategy across your Instagram accounts.

Here’s why our clients love NapoleonCat
Join businesses that track and grow their social media audiences with NapoleonCat.
NapoleonCat saves up to one-third of a full-time position. That’s time we would otherwise spend manually moderating thousands of comments each month using the Meta Business Suite, profile by profile and comment by comment. Time we can now use for growth. NapoleonCat is the best tool of its kind on the market, and it’s still constantly evolving and improving by introducing new AI features.
It’s hard to imagine our work without a tool that includes so many valuable features. It won’t be an overstatement when I say that NapoleonCat saves us multiple full-time positions that would be dedicated to just moderating comments or manually generating reports.
NapoleonCat gives us the full picture of social media interactions. It’s easier to pick up urgent threads that need taking immediate action. And with conversation history, it’s much easier to continue the work of another team member while they’re out of office.
We work with multiple clients, and with NapoleonCat, we don’t waste time switching between multiple software tools. We can also deliver reliable data from a single source. We tested other social media moderation and analytics tools before, but none of them lived up to what NapoleonCat delivers. They’re the best, and I personally love using the tool. 🙂
NapoleonCat is now an indispensable tool that we use for moderation and analytical purposes, as well as content publishing. We’re curious to see new capabilities of the tool and test its new uses, for example, to moderate TikTok ad comments, as we predict this social media channel to become more and more important for our clients.
It’s the first social media engagement tool we have ever tried that is truly intuitive and that makes it easy for us to include the clients in the process. The service and support is great and personal. And the value for money is great!
We were looking for a tool that would allow us to consolidate and manage comments and private messages from Messenger in one place. Analytics and reports were also very important to us, as they would show us the level of our social media customer service. That’s why, in 2017, we decided to choose NapoleonCat.

FAQs
How far back can I see my Instagram follower count history?
NapoleonCat starts recording your follower count from the day you connect your Instagram account, and keeps it daily from then on – it doesn’t backfill numbers from before you connected. So your history grows the longer your account stays connected: you can look back at last week, the past 30 days, or all the way to when you first linked your account, with graphs showing daily gains and drops. The sooner you connect, the more follower history you’ll build up.
Can I track follower history for more than one Instagram account?
Yes. You can track the follower count for every Instagram account you manage in one place, and compare them side by side in a single report.
Can I compare my follower growth with competitors?
Yes. NapoleonCat lets you track the follower count and content performance of other public Instagram profiles, including competitors, so you can benchmark your growth against theirs.
Can I get follower reports automatically?
Yes. You can schedule automated PDF reports weekly, monthly, or quarterly that include your Instagram follower count history, and have them emailed to you and other stakeholders automatically.
Does it show who my followers are, not just how many?
Yes. Alongside the follower count, you get audience demographics such as location (country and city), age, and gender, for a deeper view of who’s behind your growth.
