Lurk vs Followmeter, No Login. Watch Anyone. 👀
Followmeter makes you hand over your own Instagram login just to see who unfollowed you. Lurk asks for no login at all, and it watches anyone you want, so you can see exactly who your person just followed, newest first.

El veredicto
Both apps track Instagram follows, but they are built for opposite jobs. Followmeter logs into your own account to tell you who unfollowed you. Lurk logs into nothing, and it watches anyone you want. If you care about one specific person, only one of these can actually show you.
No login, they will never know
Lurk asks for zero Instagram credentials. You never connect an account, you never hand over a password, and the person you are watching gets no notification, ever. Followmeter needs your own login to work at all.
Watch anyone, not just yourself
Followmeter only reads your own account, your unfollowers, your ghost followers. Lurk points at anyone public. Drop in a username and see their world.
See who they just followed, newest first
This is the one thing Followmeter physically cannot do. Lurk shows you who a tracked profile followed and unfollowed, sorted newest first, so you catch the new name the moment it appears.
Watch their story without leaving a trace
Lurk plays any public story anonymously. No seen-by mark, no footprint. Followmeter does not offer this at all.
Where Followmeter actually fits
Followmeter has a free tier and a solid ghost-follower audit for your own account, genuinely useful if all you want is to clean up your own followers. The moment you want to watch someone else, it hits a wall. Lurk does not.
Stop logging in. Start watching.
No Instagram login. Watch any public account. See who they just followed, newest first. First week one dollar, cancel anytime.
