How many entries does a giveaway get?
The chart below shows how many entries a giveaway gets, so you can see what to expect from your own.
According to Simpliers data, 48.8% of the giveaways run in 2025 got more than 1,000 entries.
* The numbers in this section come from real giveaways run in 2025 that drew a winner. These numbers cover all platforms, not only this one.
How much do followers decide the number of entries?
The chart below plots each giveaway by the account's follower count and the entries it got. Darker areas show where giveaways gather, and the orange line shows how many entries the middle giveaway gets as followers grow.
Entries do grow with followers, but the spread matters far more than the trend. The top quarter of accounts with 1K-5K followers gets 2,014 entries, while the bottom quarter of the 100K-500K band stays at 663 entries.
Accounts with <1K followers get 104.3 entries per 100 followers, and in the 500K+ band that number is 0.6.

Where do these Instagram giveaway statistics come from?
When someone runs a giveaway with Simpliers, its date, country and platform are recorded. Every number on this page adds up from those records.
- When the data starts
- Simpliers launched in March 2019. The numbers here cover every giveaway run since that day.
- Which date a giveaway counts on
- A giveaway counts on the day its result is drawn. Most campaigns start days or weeks earlier, so the busiest days are the days campaigns end.
- How the country is determined
- The country is where the person running the giveaway is located.
- What the score shows
- The score rates activity on a chart from 0 to 100. A score of 100 marks that chart's busiest moment, and every chart has its own 100.
- What the middle giveaway means
- Half of the giveaways came in below this number and half came in above it. A few huge giveaways would inflate an average, this number stays unaffected.

Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask most about the trend data on this page are below.
What is this trend data based on?
It is based on every giveaway run with Simpliers since March 2019. The numbers on this page are calculated again every week.
My follower count is small, is a giveaway still worth it?
It is. Follower count sets the ceiling for entries but does not decide them on its own; in the chart above, the top quarter of small accounts sits above the bottom quarter of much larger ones. Your prize and your entry rules do at least as much work as your follower count.
How many entries does an Instagram giveaway get?
It changes from giveaway to giveaway. The entry distribution chart above shows how many giveaways fall into each entry range, so you can set your own expectation from there.
What is the best day to run a giveaway?
The difference between the days of the week is shown with current data in the chart above. Focusing on your prize and your entry rules works better than picking a day.
Which month is better for running a giveaway?
It changes from country to country, and you can see your own market in the chart above. Far more giveaways are run on the busy days, so in the quieter stretches you compete with far fewer of them.
