MEET PENGUINRADAR

What is PenguinRadar?

PenguinRadar is a next-generation, AI-powered Instagram tracker and analyzer for public accounts. It shows recently followed Instagram accounts, recent followers and unfollows in one place. Track an account, and each new follow, follower and unfollow appears with the date it was detected. You no longer scroll through profiles by hand to find what they recently followed. PenguinRadar also catches the unfollows Instagram never shows. A follower count only shows a number. PenguinRadar puts names behind it.

On paid plans, the AI Analyst answers your questions in plain words. Ask which accounts a brand recently followed this week. Every number in its answers is checked. Paid plans also add email alerts and the Follower Analyzer for mutual follows. All plans include a story viewer, a likes viewer and follower export to CSV. Developers connect it to their own tools through the MCP server, the REST API and the CLI.

Creators check Instagram recent followers after a post or a collab. Brands and agencies watch which creators a competitor recently followed. Journalists and researchers follow official accounts over time. Everyday users look at a public profile before they follow back. None of them need to share an Instagram password.
