Tracking Instagram follower growth

I'm looking at several social media scheduling and analytics tools for my company. I like how easy Buffer is to use, but its cheapest plan doesn't track Instagram follower growth. Hootsuite is another option, but it seems a little less user-friendly compared to Buffer.
Please recommend the most cost-effective tool and tell me how you track growth on Instagram.

Buffer is a strong budget choice for creators and small teams, and its current Insights can track Instagram follower changes, engagement, impressions, and content performance.
I’d compare follower growth over consistent periods rather than focusing only on follower totals, then use reach and engagement to understand what actually drives sustainable growth.
That broader approach is useful when trying to grow up your social media accounts, because consistent content and measurable audience response matter more than follower numbers alone.
