Is Instagram plus worth it?
Instagram dropped something new last week called Instagram Plus.An optional $3.99/month subscription that unlocks a handful of features on top of the free version.You're thinking: "Great, now they want me to pay for this too?"Fair. But let me break down what's actually in it before you decide.Here's what you get:→ Stories stay visible for 48 hours instead of 24→ Rewatch counts meaning you can see how many times someone replayed your story→ Viewer search, find specific people in your viewer list by username→ Custom audience lists (no more creating group chats just to target specific followers)→ Pin up to 6 posts on your profile→ Post to your grid without pushing it into your followers' main feeds→ Custom app icons and bio fonts (my favorite)So… is it worth it?If you're barely posting right now, no.Fix consistency first, because no paid feature can do that for you.But if you're actively using Stories to nurture leads and build relationships?The analytics alone are interesting. Knowing who rewatched your story (and how many times) is warm lead data that didn't exist before.Also worth knowing… this is completely separate from Meta Verified.The $14.99/month blue checkmark subscription. Meta now has two paid tiers running at the same time.One is about credibility, one is about features. 👀My honest take: $3.99 is low stakes.If Stories are part of your marketing, it's worth a one-month trial to see if the data changes how you show up.Work with me: www.the-spacesocial.com
