Verify influencer stats without asking for screenshots
For brands and agencies: see real followers, views, engagement and audience data pulled directly from the platforms, with a verified badge on every Creato media kit.

Self-reported influencer numbers are easy to inflate or misread
A screenshot can be cropped, old or edited, and a PDF can contain anything. Brands who book on those numbers often find the results fall short.
Asking for fresh proof every time is slow, and it signals distrust to the creator you want to work with.
Verification is simplest when the data never passes through the creator's hands: the platform provides it directly, with the creator's permission.
How it works with Creato
- 1
The creator grants access
They connect their accounts through the platform's official read-only login. They stay in control and can revoke at any time.
- 2
Data comes from the source
Followers, views, engagement and audience demographics are read from the official APIs. Nothing is typed in.
- 3
You see a verified view
Open the media kit or workspace and the numbers carry a verified badge and refresh every time you look.
Platform-sourced numbers
Figures come from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat through read-only connections.
Fresh when you look
The kit refreshes from synced data each time it is opened, so you are never judging an old export.
Fair to creators
Creators avoid repeated proof requests, and you avoid second-guessing every number.
How to check influencer stats yourself
Even without tooling, a few habits catch most problems. Verified data makes them easier.
- Prefer data read from the platform over screenshots
- Look at average views, not only followers
- Check the audience's countries against your market
- Compare engagement across recent posts, not one hit
- Note when the numbers were last refreshed
- Ask whether the creator can revoke or share access

Frequently asked questions
How can I verify an influencer's stats?
The most reliable way is data read directly from the platform with the creator's permission. Creato media kits do this, so followers, views and audience demographics are not self-reported.
Can a creator fake numbers on a Creato media kit?
No. Nothing is typed in. Every figure is pulled from the official platform APIs through the creator's read-only connection.
Does Creato detect fake followers?
Creato shows the numbers the platforms report and does not score or audit follower authenticity.
Can brands get access without paying?
Brands can open shared media kits and recap links, and agencies can give brands read-only access to a workspace.
