What are the main differences between TikTok and similar apps like Instagram Reels and other competitors? How are the algorithms different?
TikTok and Instagram Reels enable creators to share short-form videos. TikTok works off of an AI-based algorithm. The algorithm recommends content based on a variety of factors.
Instagram Reels prioritizes content from users that the creator follows. Engagement rate including likes, comments and shares are all factors in content discovery on Instagram.
TikTok vs. Instagram Reels
As short-form videos gained popularity on social media, both TikTok and Instagram Reels emerged.
The key difference is that it can sometimes be more difficult for new content creators to grow a large following on Instagram. Some social media users have reported that it was easier to gain visibility on TikTok than it was on Instagram.
When comparing TikTok vs. Instagram Reels, you want to consider which platform has:
- Higher engagement rate
- Higher watch rate
- Increased visibility in discovery
- Higher conversion rate
Interaction, comments, saves, and likes also play a role in platform visibility.
The main difference between the ‘explore’ tab and the ‘for you’ tab is the weight applied to existing follower count.
