The short answer

Our pick

lastfollower

A free browser scan of public data, with no password, no account and four named lists in about twenty seconds.

Android and iOS app

Followers & Unfollowers

A free mobile app with in-app purchases that asks you to sign in with your Instagram username and password to work at all.

Which one to pick

Pick lastfollower if you would rather not type your Instagram password into a third-party app. Pick Followers & Unfollowers if you want in-app bulk unfollowing on your phone and you accept that trade.

Followers & Unfollowers is one of the most downloaded free trackers on Google Play, and free is exactly why people install it. It does the standard jobs: unfollowers, accounts that do not follow back, and one-tap unfollowing from inside the app.

The catch is the sign-in. The app asks for your Instagram username and password directly, and this whole category of credential-based tracker has a long history of account lockouts and unfamiliar login alerts. That is the risk you take on for the convenience.

lastfollower answers the same questions from the other direction. It reads the follower list your public profile already shows anyone, so there is no password to type, no session to hijack, and nothing to revoke afterwards.

The difference

Why people move to lastfollower

No password means no password to lose

Credential-based trackers ask you to type your Instagram login into an app you did not write. Users of apps in this category regularly report being logged out and seeing sign-in alerts from places they have never been. lastfollower removes the whole problem by never asking.

Nothing acts on your behalf

One-tap bulk unfollowing sounds useful right up to the point Instagram treats a burst of unfollows as automation. lastfollower can only read. Nothing is posted, liked, followed or viewed as you, so there is no behaviour to flag.

No ads between you and the answer

Free app tiers in this category pay for themselves with interstitials, and you meet one every few taps. lastfollower has no ad units. The free scan gives you the totals directly and the paid tier is what funds it.

The same product on every device

An app is stuck on the phone you installed it on. lastfollower is a URL, so the scan you ran on your laptop is the same scan on your phone, with the same lists and the same history.

Every plan, including free

Everything you get with lastfollower

Fair questions

lastfollower vs Followers & Unfollowers FAQ

Is Followers & Unfollowers safe to use?

It asks for your Instagram username and password, and any tool that holds your credentials is a tool you have to trust completely. Users of credential-based trackers report unexpected logouts and login alerts often enough that it is worth weighing. lastfollower avoids the question entirely because it never asks for a password.

Is lastfollower a good Followers & Unfollowers alternative?

Yes for the tracking itself. lastfollower covers unfollowers, accounts that do not follow back, new followers and ghost followers without an install or a login. It does not offer in-app bulk unfollowing, so if that is the feature you use most, the app still has it.

Do I have to enter my Instagram password?

Not with lastfollower. Type your handle and the scan reads what your profile already shows publicly. There is no login step, no OAuth screen and no token stored anywhere.

How much does each one cost?

Followers & Unfollowers is free to install with in-app purchases commonly running from about $3.99 a week to $29.99 a year, plus ads on the free tier. lastfollower scans free with no account, and Pro is $4.99 a week.

Can I use lastfollower without installing anything?

Yes, that is the whole design. It is a website. Open it in Safari, Chrome or any other browser, type your handle, and the scan runs there.
