by You may have had about the different types of accounts Instagram offers. But before explaining each of these accounts, you should have created an Instagram account first. The page has complete steps to create a new Instagram account.
Like I’d already pointed out the different accounts available, now let’s explain each of these accounts to enable you to know which of the account is best for you.
Ordinarily, Instagram only categorized its account into TWO, namely; Personal and Professional Accounts. It is from the professional account you get to see Creator and Business account – both are regarded as the “Professional account”.
In a nutshell, the professional account is designed for public figures, content producers, artists, influencers, retailers, local businesses, brands, organizations,s and service providers. Indeed it’s worth the name “Instagram Professional Account”.
Now, let’s dive into each of the accounts types to enable you to determine which (and why) is best for you, your business, or your activities.

Instagram Personal Account
If you only want to keep it simple, without any intents of running a business then the Instagram personal account would be the best ideal to use. It’s easy to use and understand, however, your account is by default a personal account once you’ve completed the Instagram sign-up account process.
There is no option of signing up for either a personal or professional account. Instead, account owners are able to switch from personal to professional or vice versa, at any point in time.
Instagram Creator Account
The Creator account is intended for the influencers; that is those people creating content that’s aligning with the brand but may not necessarily sell their own products.
The creator account have access to the full music library, the same as personal account, but this time not so on the business account.
Instagram Business Account
Just as the name suggested, the business account is intended for business entities that are making money or selling something online. The business account has API access, scheduling, access to the Facebook creator studio for managing Instagram from your desktop, and the ability to use third-party analytics. Please note that the Creator account doesn’t have the API access as the business.
Which one of the Professional accounts is Best for You Business or Creator account?
If you need to stand out in your branding, posting and scheduling then the business account will be best for you. But the creator account may be ideal for you if you want to have access to the full music library for your Short Reels and Stories contents.
