Why people switch

What you get with UnfollowersTrack

No export-and-wait step

FollowBuddy works by having you request Instagram's official data download, wait for the export to arrive, and upload it for each audit. UnfollowersTrack skips all of that — enter a public @username and run a scan from your browser.

Check supported public profiles

FollowBuddy analyzes the account behind your own data export. UnfollowersTrack can scan your own account or another supported public profile with no more than 20,000 followers or following.

History without a new export each time

FollowBuddy finds unfollowers by comparing each fresh export you upload against your previous audit. With UnfollowersTrack, a completed subscribed full scan establishes the baseline and later completed scans can detect changes without another export.

Free to start

FollowBuddy's free Lite tier shows three accounts that don't follow you back, and its unfollower tracking sits behind a Pro subscription. UnfollowersTrack shows a free sampled preview; completed full scans and history require a subscription.

About FollowBuddy

Web & mobile app

FollowBuddy is an unfollower tracker available on the web and as iOS and Android apps. Instead of asking for your Instagram password, it has you upload Instagram's official data export; it then shows who doesn't follow you back and finds unfollowers by comparing each new audit against your last one.

Questions

UnfollowersTrack vs FollowBuddy, answered

Both tools work without your Instagram password, but they get there differently. FollowBuddy reads the official Instagram data export you request and upload, analyzes that account, and finds unfollowers by comparing audits. UnfollowersTrack skips the file: a free scan previews sampled public data, while completed subscribed full scans establish and update history.
Yes, if you'd rather skip the export step. FollowBuddy asks you to request Instagram's data download, wait for it, and upload it again whenever you want a fresh audit. UnfollowersTrack covers the same core need — tracking followers and unfollowers — straight from a @username scan, free to start, with no file to download or upload.
