How the Favikon score works

The Favikon score measures online influence, not popularity or voting intention. Every day it combines four signals from the last 90 days: reach (average views per post), engagement (reactions, comments and shares per post), audience (followers) and consistency (how regularly an account posts). Each signal is compared with every account Favikon tracks on the same platform, then TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and LinkedIn add up to one number. That is why someone strong on a single platform can be compared with someone present on all five. Read the full methodology →
