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 any public profile

FollowBuddy analyzes the account behind your own data export. UnfollowersTrack can look up the recent public follow activity of any public Instagram profile — yours, a creator's, or a competitor's.

History without a new export each time

FollowBuddy finds unfollowers by comparing each fresh export you upload against your previous audit. UnfollowersTrack detects unfollows by comparing your later scans against your first, so history builds scan by scan with no file to fetch.

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 lets you run your first scan free; unfollows are then detected by comparing later scans against your first.

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 — on the web and as a mobile app — reads the official Instagram data export you request and upload, analyzes only your own account, and finds unfollowers by comparing each audit to your previous one. UnfollowersTrack skips the file: you enter a public @username, a scan shows that profile's recent public follow activity, and unfollows are detected by comparing later scans against your first as history builds.
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.
