Above 1 million followers, the price grows with the square root of the audience: the biggest accounts charge far less per follower than smaller ones.
The rate is the usual price of a sponsored post per 1,000 followers on each platform, at typical engagement for the account's size. One sponsored post a week makes 52 a year. These are estimates, not quotes: real rates depend on niche, country, format and usage rights.
