Questions

Is MetaHashtags free?

Yes. Without an account you get 3 searches a day, with 5 hashtags per search. A free account gives you 10 searches a day and 3 saved sets. Pro shows every hashtag we find, up to 155 per search.

Where do the post counts come from?

From Instagram’s own hashtag search, refreshed at least once a month. Free plans see rounded counts like 21.1M; Pro sees exact counts.

Do I need to connect my Instagram account?

No. We never ask for your Instagram login or access to your account.

What does “Dots” do?

It adds five lines with a single dot before your hashtags when you copy them, so the hashtags sit below your caption instead of right after it.

What is a banned hashtag?

A hashtag Instagram has restricted, usually because of spam or content that breaks its rules. We mark banned hashtags in red, and the banned hashtags checker scans a whole caption.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, of course. You can cancel anytime before the due date of your next payment.
