The Audience Overlap Tool allows you to measure how much audience overlap exists between Instagram or YouTube influencers. It helps you determine whether the same users follow multiple creators, enabling smarter campaign planning—whether you're looking for reach expansion or message reinforcement.
Step 1: Create a new Audience Overlap report
Go to the Market Analysis Hub.
Open the Audience Overlap section.
Click Create a Report.
Subscription limits
Basic plan: Compare up to 2 influencers.
Pro add-on: Compare up to 15 influencers.
To upgrade, contact the HypeAuditor Sales Team.
Step 2: Add influencers
You can add influencers by:
Typing their username
Pasting a direct profile link (Instagram or YouTube)
Note: You can only compare influencers within the same platform (i.e., Instagram to Instagram or YouTube to YouTube).
Step 3: Report generation
Once all profiles are added, the report will begin processing.
It may take up to 2 hours depending on the volume of data.
You do not need to stay on the page. You’ll receive an email notification once it’s ready.
Step 4: View the report
Go to the Audience Overlap section and open the report from your report history.
The report includes:
Total audience overlap (number and percentage of shared followers)
Total number of followers per influencer
Estimated budget to activate all creators
Total engagement rate (past 180 days)
Potential reach
Shared audience demographics (most common gender, age group, and country)
Visual representation
Each influencer’s total followers are shown next to their profile image.
The number of overlapping followers between each pair is displayed in bold.
Percentages are shown to indicate the proportion of overlap relative to each influencer’s total audience.
Clicking on a comparison box reveals more detail on how the overlap is distributed between accounts, even when follower counts differ significantly.
Step 5: Use the "List" tab for deeper metrics
The List tab shows detailed metrics for each influencer:
Total followers
Potential reach
Audience Quality Score (AQS)
Engagement rate
Step 6: Export or share the report
You can:
Download the report as a PDF.
Share a link to the report with colleagues or clients.
No login is required to view the shared link.
