Instagram follow tracker, $5.7K MRR: reports without subscriptions

Last Followed is a tool for viewing recent follow activity on public Instagram accounts. Its $5.7K MRR is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

Last Followed lets users view someone's recent Instagram followers and follow activity. The site says, “View someone's recent Instagram followers instantly. Re-check any time to see who they followed next.”

Users enter a public Instagram username without entering an Instagram login. The service retrieves recent follow activity, saves past searches in history, and displays a time-ordered follower and following activity timeline.

How it charges

A one-time payment unlocks the full report, with no subscription. The site says, “One payment, no subscription.” Pro unlocks the full recent-follow list, top engagers, and unlimited re-checks.

Where it sits in the data

Last Followed's $5.7K MRR is higher than 91% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Security” category (96 projects) it is higher than 92% (category median $254). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view: The buyer is a person checking recent follow activity on a public Instagram account, including partners, parents, recruiters, journalists, and people curious about public accounts. Distribution would need to reach these groups through search, social content, or relevant partnerships.

My view: The hard parts include maintaining reliable access to public Instagram data, supporting different account states, handling user questions, and addressing privacy concerns and platform rules. The one-time report model also requires a clear explanation of what buyers receive and when Pro features apply.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Last Followed packages recent Instagram follow activity into a report bought through one payment without a subscription. Its product scope is explicit: track activity, save past searches, inspect a timeline, and allow unlimited re-checks under Pro.
