Methodology — ThreadsFollowers

Principles

Every metric on this site has a documented formula, a stated input set and stated limitations. If a number cannot be computed honestly, the tool says so.

Formulas: engagement rate = (likes + replies + reposts + quotes) / followers × 100. Growth % = (new − old) / old × 100. Average growth = (new − old) / days. Goal days = (goal − current) / daily growth — undefined when the daily growth rate is zero or negative.

Scores

Scores (influence, creator, brand, growth) are 0–100 composites of four components — audience size (log-scaled), engagement rate, growth rate and posting consistency — with weights shown next to each result. They are proprietary analytical estimates, not official Threads metrics.

Projections

Linear projection: current + daily growth × days. Compound forecast: current × (1 + monthly rate)^months. Both are labeled as estimates; real growth varies.

Live data

Profile metrics come from authorized providers, are stored as snapshots with source and retrieval time, and are refreshed on an adaptive schedule that prioritizes high-demand profiles within provider quotas. When no provider is connected, live-data tools state that clearly instead of showing fabricated numbers.
