You Have More Than One Profile Selected

You Don't Have Enough Followers or Posts
Current Starter, Growth, and Advanced plans require 100+ followers on your Instagram profile to use the current version of Best Time to Post.
Note: If you don't have 100+ followers you'll still be able to use the original version of Best Time to Post, if you have 50+ feed posts in the past 6 months (excluding the last 2 weeks).
Legacy Starter, Premium, and Brand plan users need 50+ feed posts in the last 6 months (excluding the last 2 weeks) to use Best Times to Post. If you don’t have enough posts, we’ll show you how many more you need.
Note: Instagram Reels don't count towards your needed 50 posts. This is a limitation set by Instagram.
