Now scanning the internet's main characters

Who's real.
Who's not.

Half the internet is famous to an audience that doesn't exist. Paste in any influencer and we'll tell you if their followers are people, or a warehouse of phones in a basement.

Everyone's an influencer.
Not everyone has fans.

A few (totally fictional) creators you've definitely seen before, and the tells that gave them away.

"Use code JAXON for 10% off pre-workout."

The tell: 600 comments a post, all "๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ" or "DM us to collab." His pod is very supportive.

"Sorry for the blurry pic, a moose was involved."

The tell: people ask her about trail permits. Real fans ask real questions. Hire her.

Followers are a costume. Engagement is the receipt.

You can buy 100,000 followers for less than a nice dinner. What you can't easily buy is 100,000 people who care. So that's what we measure.

How the sausage gets scanned

No logins, no browser extensions, no creepy scraping. You paste, we judge.

Paste the profile

Followers, average likes and comments. Optional: follower growth, a chunk of their follower list, and some comments.

Get the vibe check

A Hire Score from 0 to 100 and a verdict: Real deal, Kinda sus or Bot farm.

Read the receipts

Free, right underneath: every red flag, the likely-fake share, which followers look like bots and why, and a comment-by-comment breakdown.

Hire with a straight face

Or don't. Either way you didn't spend $5,000 promoting a skincare serum to a server rack.

What we look at

The things fake audiences are bad at faking.

๐Ÿ“‰

Engagement vs. size

2M followers and 400 likes? That math doesn't math. We compare against real creators the same size on the same platform.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Suspicious growth

Real growth is a ramp. Bought growth is a staircase, followed by a cliff when the platform purges the bots.

๐Ÿค–

Follower quality

Handles like anna.4471829, no profile pic, zero posts, following 7,000 accounts. We flag them one by one.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Comment quality

"Where'd you get that tent?" is a fan. "Nice pic ๐Ÿ”ฅ" ร—300 is a pod. "DM us to collab" is a bot with a business plan.

๐Ÿ‘€

Real reach

Video views compared to followers. If 2% of the audience ever watches, the other 98% are decorative.

A clear verdict

One score, one call, plus the evidence to back it up when your boss asks why you passed on a "macro influencer."

Asked, answered

Is this proof someone bought followers?

No. It's a very educated guess. Viral moments and giveaways can look weird too. A low score means "ask for their insights screenshots before you sign," not "call a lawyer."

Why do I paste data instead of just typing a handle?

Social platforms block automated scraping, and we'd rather not break their rules. Pasting takes about a minute and means your scan works on any platform.

Is it really free?

Yes, for now. Every scan gets the full report: every red and green flag, the estimated fake-follower share and real follower count, a score for each signal, the list of bot-looking followers with reasons, and a comment-by-comment breakdown. No account, no card.

Can I check someone myself first?

Totally. Our free 10-point fake-follower checklist walks you through doing it by hand. It's slower, but it's free and you'll feel like a detective.

Do you store what I paste?

No. Your scan is processed and returned, not saved. Your list of past scans lives only in your own browser.
