What type of Account Should I have? Instagram Business, Creator, and Personal Accounts
Major Differences Between Instagram Account Types: Personal, Business, and Creator
Personal Instagram Account:
- Allows for a private page setup
- Does not permit post scheduling
- Does not offer insights on reach and engagement
- Does not allow for post promotion
Business & Creator Instagram Accounts:
- Do not allow for a private page setup
- Permits post scheduling
- Offer insights on reach and engagement
- Allow for post promotion
- Provide access to Inbox tools like saved replies and sorting
Distinct Differences between Business & Creator Accounts:
- Only Business Accounts allow scheduling through third parties, other than Facebook's Creator Studio, which is available for Creator Accounts.
- Different profile category options are available (like Real Estate Agent, Clothing Brand, Ice Cream Shop, etc.)
- Business accounts can include a business address on the profile
Our Recommendation: We advise our members to opt for a Business Account under the Entrepreneur category, or a Creator account. These will give you access to all music options.
