Unfollowers Tracker alternative (no password, no app)

How it works

1. 1

   Cancel the plan and take back the login

   Cancel where you subscribed — iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions; Android: Play Store → profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions — because deleting the app doesn't stop billing. Then change your Instagram password in Accounts Centre → Password and security, log out unknown devices under Where you're logged in, and remove the app from Settings and privacy → Website permissions → Apps and websites.

2. 2

   Request your export from Instagram

   In the Instagram app: profile → menu (☰) → Settings and privacy → Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Export your information → Create export → Download to device. Tick only Followers and following, set the date range to All time and the format to JSON, then start the export.

3. 3

   Wait for the email and download the ZIP

   A followers-only export is usually ready in 10–20 minutes. Instagram emails a download link (valid for four days) and also shows it under Export your information. Save the ZIP to the device you'll use for the check.

4. 4

   Open the ZIP on UnfollowChecker

   Upload the ZIP on this page. It's parsed in your browser and never uploaded. You get the non-follower count free and your raw lists as CSV free; the full named list is a one-time $2.99. Keep the ZIP — a second one later gives you a free unfollowers comparison.

Why people leave Unfollowers Tracker

Search either app store for "Unfollowers Tracker" and you'll find several apps with that name or a close variant — Unfollowers: Followers Tracker on iPhone, Unfollowers Unfollow Tracker and Unfollower Tracker MyFollowers on Android. They share a model: you sign in with your Instagram username and password inside the app, it reads your lists, and the full feature set sits behind plans in the region of $3.99–$4.99 a week, $6.99–$9.99 a month or $23.99–$29.99 a year at the time of checking.

The exits follow the model. Reviews mention having to "repeatedly verify" the Instagram login, which is Instagram challenging a sign-in from a server it doesn't recognise. Reviews mention Instagram warning that the account "may be liable to be suspended" after use. Reviews mention the blocked-you detection reporting a block when an account was simply deleted, and the analysis sitting on "in progress" for days. And reviews mention cancellation trouble, with a lapsed plan still showing as pending and blocking other purchases. The Unfollowers Tracker vs UnfollowChecker page has the side-by-side; here is how to leave and where to go.

Before you leave: three things to do

Any app that asked you to re-verify your Instagram login has been signing in as you. Undo that before you install anything else:

• Cancel the subscription in the store, not the app. iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Android: Play Store → profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. If a cancelled plan still shows as pending, contact Apple or Google support rather than the developer.
• Change your Instagram password (Accounts Centre → Password and security → Change password) and end every session you don't recognise under Where you're logged in. If the app ever asked for a 2FA code, it logged in from its own server.
• Revoke access under Settings and privacy → Website permissions → Apps and websites. Then uninstall the app so it can't keep a session alive.

The three best Unfollowers Tracker alternatives

The name promises one thing — knowing who unfollowed you — so judge each alternative on that first, and on whether it needs your login second.

How the export method finds unfollowers

A tracker app detects unfollows by polling your followers list from its session and diffing it against the last poll. The export method does the same diff, but with you holding both snapshots. Request a followers-and-following export in JSON from Accounts Centre (the steps above), keep the ZIP, and request another one whenever you want to check. Upload the older ZIP and the newer ZIP to the unfollowers tool and it lists who left, free, and who's new. Each ZIP also answers who doesn't follow me back on its own.

Because Meta builds the file through its export system, nothing in your account's activity looks automated — which is the difference between this and the login pattern that leads to Action Blocked.

What you lose by switching

The push notification. A tracker app can tell you within hours that someone unfollowed; the export method tells you when you next compare two exports, so the window is as wide as the gap between them. You also lose the blocked-you and deleted-account guesses (which reviews describe as unreliable anyway), the in-app unfollow button, and the growth chart. And you have to remember to take exports — a monthly calendar reminder is the usual fix. If a near-real-time feed is non-negotiable, no password-free tool provides one, and the best Instagram unfollow checker roundup says so plainly.

What this tool can't do

It can't watch your account between exports, so it never notifies you. It can't tell you the day someone unfollowed — only that it happened between two exports. It can't check an account you don't have an export for, and it can't unfollow anyone. It also can't see who blocked you: a block makes an account vanish from both lists just like a deletion, and the export carries no flag to tell them apart. How we test lists every limit we hold ourselves and other tools to.
