Posting cadence
At 3.7 posts per week, @starbucks publishes on a rhythm you can plan against rather than a single campaign burst. The oldest analyzed post is dated March 23, 2026 and the newest April 30, 2026. The format mix in this window is 10 carousels, 8 videos, 2 images. Monday is the busiest day in the sample, carrying 5 of the 20 posts.
Cadence is the cheapest competitive signal to act on. It tells you the publishing volume you would need to match this coffee retail brand in a visitor's feed, and whether the account leans on one format or spreads across several.

FAQ
Is this an official Starbucks analytics report?
No. InstaSeer is independent and not affiliated with Starbucks or Instagram. Every number here is derived from Starbucks's public posts, and each row links to the original post so you can check it yourself. Private metrics such as reach, impressions, saves, and ad spend are not public and do not appear anywhere in this report.
How many posts does the report read?
This sample reads 20 recent public posts. When you run a report on your own competitor you choose the post count, and the report covers posts and Reels together.
Can I run this on any Instagram account?
Any public Instagram account. Private accounts return nothing, because InstaSeer only ever reads what a logged-out visitor can already see.
