Method and background

How this is calculated

Followers pass through engagement, then clicks, then conversion. Because those multiply, a small account with genuine engagement routinely outperforms a large one bought on reach, and paying by follower count prices the wrong thing. Cost per engagement is the comparable figure across creators of different sizes.

follower count matters far less than the three rates it passes through

Method and limits

What it assumes

  • A single post, with no residual effect.

What it deliberately does not model

  • Brand lift and awareness are real and not captured by a direct-response calculation.
  • Engagement rates are easily inflated, and follower counts more so.

Frequently asked questions

Are large accounts better value?
Usually not. Engagement rate tends to fall as accounts grow, and the fee rises with followers, so cost per engagement often gets worse.
