Yeah, but you have to code the 'tool' yourself
node.js is the server daemon I made my bot from --its purpose was to post to my feed webcam girl api data and images (some time ago)
The twitter API itself is free

Hello
Go to your Twitter profile. Tap on your profile picture and then click 'Analytics'. You will get directed to Twitter Analytics. Now, you can see the growth rate of followers.

I guess there should be a tool in twitter its self to track your profile analysis!

Yep.

1. Hootsuite Analytics tools gives you a great overview of audience growth, engagement, link clicks, total posts, and a lot more from your Twitter account(s). The downside is that it is a paid program.
2. Twitter Analytics: The free alternative is to use Twitter’s native analytics tools. You’ll be able to view the total number of tweets you’ve shared, impressions, profile visits, mentions, and follower growth.

As it was mentioned above, Twitter does offer such a functionality. But you can also use third-party tools like FollowerAudit. I'm not quite sure if it's free, but you can google it.

free one? i don't think so. I know about paid ones, maybe these tools have trial version but I am not sure. you perhaps have to be convinced in it on your own. just search for such tools in the net.

Hi, Here is the way of you, In the follower section of your dashboard, you can track how your following has changed over the last 30 days, and also how many new followers you've received per day. If you notice a particular day has either gained or lost you several followers, check what you Tweeted that day to try and determine the cause.

Build your own if you want free --it's possible in theory.

You would have to database the data on your own database server.

But you need the user ID that you want the data for.
