Free Tier Limits
The free tier is designed to let you evaluate the extension and test your workflow before upgrading. It provides enough data to verify export quality and explore the CSV output.
- 250 followers per export — Each download captures the first 250 followers from the account's follower list
- 3 exports per week — You can run up to three separate export jobs per 7-day rolling window
- Full data fields — Free exports include the same data fields as Pro (username, bio, follower count, following count, post count, verified status, profile URL, etc.)
- Both Followers and Following — Free tier supports exporting both follower and following lists within the same limits
Pro Tier — Unlimited Exports
Upgrading to Instagram Followers Exporter Pro removes all export limits. Pro is designed for marketers, agencies, researchers, and anyone who needs complete follower data.
- Unlimited followers per export — Export the complete follower list regardless of size (1K, 10K, 100K, or more)
- Unlimited exports per week — No cap on how many export jobs you can run
- Faster processing — Pro exports use optimized batch fetching for faster completion
- Priority support — Direct support for any export issues or questions
- Pricing — $6.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime (one-time payment)
Export Speed Estimates
Export speed depends on the number of followers being fetched. The extension handles Instagram's rate limiting automatically, pacing requests to avoid triggering any restrictions.
- 1,000 followers — Under 1 minute
- 5,000 followers — 2-3 minutes
- 10,000 followers — 3-5 minutes
- 50,000 followers — 10-15 minutes
- 100,000+ followers — 15-30 minutes depending on Instagram's response times
Tips for Large Account Exports
When exporting from accounts with 50K+ followers, follow these best practices to ensure a smooth and complete export.
- Keep the tab open — Do not close or navigate away from the Instagram tab during the export. The extension needs the tab active to fetch data.
- Stable internet connection — A reliable connection prevents timeouts during long exports
- Avoid concurrent exports — Run one export at a time for the best performance and reliability
- Export during off-peak hours — Instagram's servers respond faster during off-peak times (early morning, late night), which can speed up large exports
- Monitor the progress bar — The real-time progress indicator shows records collected and estimated time remaining. If it stalls, refresh the page and restart — the extension picks up where it left off.
