Differences between an Instagram Business Basic and Business Advanced source

The differences between an Instagram Business Basic and Business Advanced connection, and which feed types each one supports.

Instagram provides two ways to connect your account; directly through your Instagram Business profile or through a connected Facebook page. Below are the specific differences between the two account types and what they are able to display:

Business Basic

  • Display a basic feed of posts from any user account connected to the plugin
  • Display Likes, and Comment counts for a post
  • Display the account avatar and bio text in the header
  • Display the number of followers for an account
  • Display Reels
  • Display Collab post (more details here)

Business Advanced

  • Everything in the Business Basic connection, and
  • Display posts from any user account connected to the Facebook user used to connect (simplified connection process)
  • Display Instagram Stories
  • Display post comments
  • Display Hashtag feeds
  • Display Tagged feeds

If you require any of the features listed in the Business Advanced section above, then we recommend switching to a Business Advanced connection, which requires a connected Facebook Page. You can do this by following these directions.

*There is also a third account type called “Creator”; however, it has the same capabilities as a “Business” account and can be connected in the same way.
