PayPal engagement report
@PayPal - 1.1M followers on X
Measured over 6 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 360 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.032%. Posts are seen about 43K times each, and 0.842% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.83% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.8K interactions, about 13x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- What is PayPal's engagement rate on X?
- PayPal (@PayPal) has an engagement rate of 0.032%, based on the median interactions across 6 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,115,514 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.032%, PayPal sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.

- There is not yet enough sample to rank this account against others of its size.
