Kolsquare provides you with the ranking of the top 10 influencers on X with many details about the audience as well as credibility scores, engagement rates, and EMV.
The Top Influencers on Twitter.com - Our Methodology

- Credibility score from 70/100: Kolsquare's credibility score is a number from 0 to 100 that indicates how trustworthy the KOL's audience is. From 70 and above, we assume that many real people are part of the community and rate the influencers as credible.
- Engagement rate: By calculating reactions, comments, shares, likes, etc. per post, you get the engagement rate as a percentage.
