The risk of skipping the check
Fake followers
Bought or dormant followers inflate reach so a creator looks bigger than the real audience they can put in front of your brand.
Suspicious engagement
Bot likes and comment pods make weak accounts read as active, which hides how few real people actually see the work.
Client reporting risk
Recommending a creator who turns out to be inflated puts your judgment, and the client relationship, on the line.
What EngageCheck looks at
Audience quality score
One 0 to 100 read on how real the audience is, built from AI plus statistical signals rather than a raw follower count.
Fake and bot signals
The share of followers that look dormant, mass-created, or bot-like, plus bot-style engagement on recent posts.
Engagement quality
Whether interaction looks genuine or matches pod and templated-comment patterns that show engagement was traded.
Comment samples
Real examples of the comments behind the numbers, so your team can judge the audience in its own words.
Growth pattern
Sharp, unexplained follower jumps that point to purchased reach instead of organic interest.
PDF evidence
A shareable report you can attach to an approval or send to a client as the record behind the decision.

Common questions
What is an influencer vetting tool?
It is a way to check whether a creator's audience is real before you pay them. EngageCheck scores engagement, follower authenticity, comment quality, growth, and username signals into one Audience Quality Score from 0 to 100 you can use to approve or decline.
Can I vet a creator without contacting them?
Yes. Vetting uses only public profile data, so you never need the creator's login and they are never notified. Private accounts cannot be vetted because their data is not public.
What score should pass?
As a guide, 80 to 100 generally clears, 60 to 79 warrants a manual look at the breakdown, and below 60 points to enough fake or inflated engagement to pause the deal. The score is evidence, not a guarantee.
Do I need a subscription?
No. EngageCheck is pay as you go and your first audit is free. You add a card to unlock the free audit, which keeps bots from farming the tool, and nothing is charged for it.
Can I share the result with a client?
Yes. Each report can be shared as a PDF so your team or client sees the same evidence behind the decision.
