Disclosure: this page is published by NaviStack LLC, which makes Lurke. It is not written or reviewed by Lurk, getlurk.app, or Collins Chukwuma. Every Lurk fact below is quoted or summarized from Lurk's own website, FAQ, and App Store or Google Play listing, checked November 5, 2026 — not from a review site or a third party's claims about Lurk. We have not tested Lurk ourselves, and this page does not rank or recommend one app over the other. If something here is wrong or out of date, contact Lurke and we'll review it.

| Google Play listing | com.lurke.app play.google.com | com.cchukwuma.lurk play.google.com |
| Platforms | iPhone, Android | iPhone, Android, and a web version |
| Web version? | No full web app. A free preview at lurke.app/scan/ and free tools at lurke.app/tools/ — not a tracking dashboard. lurke.app/tools | Yes. getlurk.app offers web-based tracking; its FAQ says the web version works in any Android browser without installing an app. getlurk.app/faq |
| Instagram password needed? | No. Lurke never asks for an Instagram password. lurke.app/is-lurke-safe | Says no. Its FAQ: “You never enter your Instagram username or password.” getlurk.app/faq |
| What it tracks | Follower and following changes for public Instagram profiles, found by comparing completed scans: new followers, unfollowers, accounts the profile started following, and accounts that don't follow back. | Recent follows for a public Instagram account you choose to watch, with follow alerts and a change-history view, per its own homepage. getlurk.app |
| Story viewing | Not in the app. A separate free website tool (Story viewer & downloader) is at lurke.app/tools/instagram-story-downloader/. lurke.app/tools/instagram-story-downloader | Its site describes a Stories viewer it calls anonymous (“watch anyone's Instagram Stories anonymously. No viewer list, no traces”) — Lurk's own claim, quoted. getlurk.app |
| Pricing, as listed | Free download. Lurke Pro: $7.99/week, $14.99/month or $39.99/year (US App Store, checked October 26, 2026). A Lifetime plan and occasional special offers can also appear in the app. Prices can differ by country and on Google Play. lurke.app/is-lurke-safe | Free download. Its FAQ: “Lurk starts at just $1 for your first week. After that, choose weekly or annual billing.” A one-time “Profile Shield” add-on is listed at $49.99. Ongoing weekly/annual prices aren't shown on its pricing page; it says prices vary by region and appear at checkout. getlurk.app/faq |
| Data import | Yes, for your own account: Lurke can read Instagram's own “Download your information” export (the ZIP Instagram emails you) to use your real follower/following lists and dates. | Not stated on its FAQ or App Store listing. getlurk.app/faq |
| Support contact | info@navistack.app (privacy/legal) · support@lurke.app (app support) lurke.app/is-lurke-safe | support@getlurk.app getlurk.app/faq |
Prices, features and store listings change. Check the current listing before you pay. Every non-Lurke fact above links to the page we checked, all as of November 5, 2026.
Where Lurk may suit you better
- It has a web version at getlurk.app you can use in a browser, without installing an app.
- Its own product includes Stories viewing. Lurke's equivalent tool is a separate free page on the Lurke website, not something inside the Lurke app.
- Its FAQ advertises a discounted $1 first week for new subscribers, if you only want a short, low-cost look before deciding.
Where Lurke may suit you better
- Its Pro prices are published on lurke.app before you install: $7.99 a week, $14.99 a month or $39.99 a year (US App Store, checked October 26, 2026).
- For your own account, Lurke can use Instagram's own official data-export file, so you see your real follow dates instead of only the difference between two scans.
- A dedicated public page (lurke.app/is-lurke-safe) stating the company name, what data is collected, and how to delete your account.
How to tell which app you have
- Check the developer name on the store listing or your receipt. Lurke's listing shows NaviStack LLC. Lurk's App Store listing shows Collins Chukwuma as the seller, and its own website names Odin Studio Inc. as the operator.
- Check the exact app name and icon. “Lurke: Recent Follow Tracker” and “Lurk - Recent Follow Tracker” are one letter apart in the name, with different icons and different app pages.
- Check the website linked from the app's settings or support screen. Lurke links to lurke.app; Lurk links to getlurk.app.
- Check your Apple or Google receipt directly. A receipt lists the seller name, not just the app's display name, which is usually the fastest way to confirm who actually charged you.
lurked.app is a separate, similarly named domain. It is not affiliated with Lurke or NaviStack LLC.
How we checked this
We compared Lurke and Lurk using each company's own public sources: their websites, their App Store and Google Play listings, and getlurk.app's FAQ, all checked November 5, 2026. We did not test either app ourselves, and nothing here ranks or recommends one over the other. For a wider, disclosed look at other recent-follow apps, see our comparison of seven tracker apps. If a fact above is wrong or has changed, contact Lurke and we'll review it.
Is Lurke the same as Lurk?
No. Lurke (lurke.app) and Lurk (getlurk.app) are different apps published by different companies. Lurke is made by NaviStack LLC; Lurk is made by Collins Chukwuma, and Lurk's own website names Odin Studio Inc. as its operator. Reviews, prices, trial offers and features listed for Lurk describe that app, not Lurke.
Who makes Lurke?
Lurke is published and operated by NaviStack LLC. For privacy or legal questions, email info@navistack.app; for app support, email support@lurke.app. Lurke is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta, and it is not connected to Lurk (getlurk.app) or to lurked.app.
Does Lurke have a $1 trial?
Lurke doesn't sell a $1 first week. On the US App Store (checked October 26, 2026), Lurke is a free download and Lurke Pro costs $7.99 a week, $14.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Any other offer is shown on the App Store or Google Play payment screen before you pay. The $1-first-week offer some people have seen is Lurk's (getlurk.app), per Lurk's own FAQ, not Lurke's.
Does Lurke let you view stories anonymously?
No, not with the word “anonymous” — Lurke doesn't use that claim. The Lurke app itself has no story-viewing feature. lurke.app's website has a separate, free Story viewer & downloader tool for active public Instagram stories; it doesn't ask for a password, but using any public web tool isn't the same as a guarantee of anonymity.
I was charged by Lurk — can Lurke help?
No. Lurke and Lurk are different companies, and Lurke has no access to Lurk's billing or your Lurk subscription. Contact Lurk directly at support@getlurk.app, or find the charge yourself: on iPhone, open Settings → your name → Subscriptions; on Android, open the Google Play app → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. The company name next to the charge shows which app actually billed you.
