FollowerCleanup

FollowerCleanup is a web service that analyzes official data exports from Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn to identify follower changes. It helps users see who has unfollowed them, who has followed recently, and which accounts qualify as ghosts or inactive without requiring login credentials, API keys, or automated scraping.

The process begins with users requesting an official export from each platform's settings, which arrives within 24 hours. They upload the file to create a snapshot of their follower list. Subsequent uploads generate comparisons that list unfollows, new followers, and ghost accounts. On Instagram it surfaces unfollowers, new followers, and likely spam accounts. For Twitter/X it shows unfollowers, new followers, accounts not following back, and ghosts defined by lack of posts or long inactivity. LinkedIn support includes removed connections, recently added contacts from the last 90 days, company and job title details per connection, top companies in the network, and seniority mix. All data remains in one dashboard that stores every snapshot for historical review.

FollowerCleanup calculates engagement impact by noting that ghost accounts lower rates because they do not interact, which in turn reduces algorithmic distribution. It displays growth charts across uploads, percentage change since the prior snapshot, and per-snapshot breakdowns. Multiple accounts can be tracked and compared on the same chart. The service deliberately avoids automation: it lists accounts for users to handle manually on the original platforms, thereby staying within terms of service.

Three subscription plans are offered with monthly or annual billing, the latter providing two free months. The Starter plan costs 4.90 dollars per month and covers one account per platform with full history. The Pro plan at 9.90 dollars per month supports three accounts per platform and unlimited snapshots. The Scale plan at 19.90 dollars per month allows ten accounts per platform plus priority support and is aimed at agencies. A free tier is mentioned for getting started. The site emphasizes that no passwords or credentials are ever stored.
