This disparity is attributed to Instagram's more engaged and action-oriented audience, as well as its diverse monetizable formats like Stories and carousels, which facilitate more intentional conversion journeys for brands. While TikTok may offer quicker follower growth, Instagram appears to provide a more valuable platform for long-term brand collaborations and higher per-post earnings. AI
