Find out who doesn’t follow you back, without giving an unfollow app your password.
Instagram has no list of accounts that don’t follow you back. In the app, you can only check one profile at a time.
PenguinRadar Instagram Follower Analyzer works from the follower and following lists your tracking already scans. It never touches your Instagram account, so nothing gets unfollowed and nobody is told. It’s an Instagram analyzer for lists, not likes or reach.
Illustrative numbers for a fictional account.
Mutual follows, the network map and AI summaries, one after another.
Sample data from fictional accounts.
One set of scans, three ways to read it.

Both lists sit side by side, in three groups. Accounts that don’t follow back show in grey. Opening a profile from a group uses credits.

Instagram doesn’t always return every name, so a group can be a little larger than it looks. Short scans are flagged, not hidden.

AI ANALYST
Paid plans include AI Analyst. It reads the same lists as PenguinRadar Instagram Follower Analyzer and answers with names and follow-back rates. Questions don’t use credits.
Try asking
By hand: open your Following and search each name in your Followers. With a few hundred accounts that takes a while, and it’s the check PenguinRadar Instagram Follower Analyzer runs for you.
Be careful with any that ask for your Instagram password. Instagram may restrict accounts whose login was shared with a third-party app, and PenguinRadar Instagram Follower Analyzer never asks for it.
Instagram doesn’t publish a daily number. Unfollowing a lot in a short time can bring up a Try Again Later message, so go in small batches.
No. Only approved followers can see a private account’s lists, so it can only use public accounts you track.
It comes with Lite, Starter and Pro, and the analyses don’t use credits. Only the list scans behind them do. The free plan tracks 1 account without it.
Not here, since Instagram doesn’t share follow dates with outside tools. PenguinRadar Instagram Follower Analyzer shows who follows back as of the latest scan.
New followers, recent follows and unfollows for any public account, in one place.
