Compare their engagement rate to the normal band for their size. An account with 100K followers whose posts get 200 likes has a follower-to-engagement ratio far below the ~2% median for that bracket — a classic signal of purchased or inactive followers. Real comments from real accounts on recent posts are the strongest positive tell.
As a rule of thumb: under a third of the median for their bracket deserves a closer look. Brackets differ — nano creators (1K–10K) average around 4%, micro (10K–50K) around 2.5%, mid-tier around 2%, and 500K+ accounts nearer 1.2% — so judge against the right band, not one universal number.
No — two numbers can flag a pattern, not prove intent. A weak ratio can also mean a dormant audience or a recent content slump. Treat this tool as a red-flag screen: if it flags, ask the creator for platform insights (reach, profile visits) before paying.
