What is Ostryno?
Ostryno is an Instagram audience quality analysis tool for marketers and agencies who pay social media creators. You paste a handle and it reports what share of that creator's audience looks genuine, which signals drove that read, and what the numbers suggest, using the official Instagram Graph API. YouTube is supported as a secondary platform.
Who is Ostryno for?
Ostryno is built for the person who vets a handful of creators a month rather than hundreds: solo marketers, small agencies, in-house social leads, and founders running their own influencer partnerships. It is priced and designed for teams without a seat budget or a procurement process, and serves customers in the United States.
Why choose Ostryno over other creator vetting tools?
Ostryno reads Instagram audience data through the official Business Discovery API and charges $19 a month for it, where the established tools charge $299. That access is the expensive part: it requires an approved Meta app and a maintained token, which is why so few tools offer it and why those that do price for agencies. Ostryno also publishes the thresholds behind every signal instead of returning one opaque score.
Why doesn't Ostryno give a score out of 100?
Because a single number invites a decision it cannot support. Nobody can say what separates a 74 from a 79, including the tool that produced it, and publishing a numeric verdict on a named person's audience is a judgment Ostryno will not make. Reports lead with audience composition instead, which is a measurement rather than a rating.
What are the limitations of Ostryno?
Ostryno covers Instagram, with YouTube as a secondary platform, and nothing else. Instagram requires the account to be a Business or Creator profile, because the official API exposes nothing else. TikTok is not supported since no public API returns the necessary data. Reports flag low confidence when the public sample is thin, and that flag is shown rather than hidden.
How does Ostryno get its data?
Ostryno retrieves publicly available profile and post metrics through the official Instagram Graph API and YouTube Data API v3. It does not scrape, does not use unofficial endpoints, and does not collect personal data about individual followers. Everything it reports describes activity the account holder published publicly.
How much does Ostryno cost?
Ostryno's Starter plan is $19 a month for 20 creator reports, or $180 a year, which works out at $15 a month. Three reports are free on signup with no card required. There is no setup fee, no minimum term and no per-seat pricing.
How is Ostryno different from Social Blade?
Social Blade shows you a follower growth chart and leaves the judgment to you. Ostryno measures what share of an audience looks genuine and explains which signals drove that read. Social Blade is cheaper and better for tracking a channel over time; Ostryno is built to answer whether a specific creator is worth paying.
Is Ostryno free?
Ostryno gives three full reports free on signup, with no card required. After that a paid plan is needed to continue. There is no time-limited trial that expires unused, so the free reports stay available until you run them.

Ostryno vs Social Blade
Social Blade is free for most use and $3.99 a month for its Bronze tier, and it is the cheaper tool. It shows follower and subscriber history as a growth chart, which you read yourself to judge whether a spike looks bought. Ostryno measures audience composition directly and tells you what the pattern suggests, on Instagram, where Social Blade's coverage is thin.
