About the growth tracker
Single data points lie. A profile with 50k followers might be rocketing or dying, and the only way to know is to watch the number move. The growth tracker saves a snapshot of followers, following and posts every time you check a profile, then draws the trend so growth, decay and purge events become obvious.
Add usernames you care about — competitors, potential partners, your own backup account — and open your dashboard any time to see how each one is trending. Snapshots are stored in your account, so the chart gets more valuable every day you use it.
