Use Cases
Before partnering with an influencer, enter their likes, comments, shares and follower count to calculate their true engagement rate and compare it to the platform average.
After each post, calculate your engagement rate to track trends over time. Compare against the benchmark to understand whether your content strategy is working.
Use Find Engagements mode to calculate how many total interactions (likes + comments + shares) you need to achieve a target engagement rate with your current follower base.
Working backwards from a desired engagement rate and expected interactions? Use Find Followers mode to calculate how large your audience needs to be.
FAQ
Engagement Rate = (Total Engagements / Total Followers) × 100. Total engagements include platform-specific interactions: Instagram uses Likes + Comments + Saves + Shares; TikTok adds Saves; YouTube counts relative to views; X (Twitter) includes Retweets + Replies + Clicks; LinkedIn and Facebook include Clicks.
For Instagram, an engagement rate of 1–3% is considered average/good, 3–6% is high/very good, and above 6% is excellent. Rates below 0.5% indicate content needs improvement. Note that smaller accounts typically have higher engagement rates than large ones.
TikTok has much higher engagement rates than other platforms: 2–5% is average, 5–10% is high/very good, 10–20% is excellent, and above 20% is viral. These higher benchmarks reflect TikTok's algorithmic distribution to non-followers.
Each platform has a different feed algorithm, audience behavior, and content format. TikTok distributes content to non-followers, inflating engagement. X (Twitter) has very low average rates (0.05–0.1%) because impressions are high. Always compare within the same platform.
