Show HN: Syft – Check if an Instagram page is legit before you pay

I built Syft to help brands, indie founders, and creators avoid wasting money on bad influencer promotions.

Too often, you run a promo and realize afterward the account had fake followers or wasn’t even reaching the right audience. Syft scans any Instagram profile and gives you a trust score based on:

Bot follower signals

Engagement rate

Comment quality

Audience relevance and niche fit

No signup needed — just paste a handle and see the results.

Would love your feedback — especially on what’s missing, confusing, or inaccurate. I'm still improving the scoring system and would love your take.
