Engagement rate helps assess how well a creator connects with their audience. Depending on the social platform, Modash uses different factors to give you a clearer picture of a creator’s engagement.
What are the engagement rate formulas?
We analyze the last 2 months of data using these formulas:
- TikTok & YouTube: Average Likes / Average Views 
- Instagram: Median Likes / Followers 
Note: If an influencer hides their likes, Modash won’t be able to display an accurate engagement rate.
Why does Modash use views for TikTok and YouTube?
In the past, follower count was a reliable way to estimate reach—creators’ content was primarily shown to their followers. Today, discovery happens through recommendations, like TikTok’s For You page. That’s why views are now a better indicator of reach than just follower numbers.
