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.
