- TikTok's Creative Center, for DTC brands on TikTok. Free, official, and better on trends than on any single account.
- The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
- Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
- SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
