Mostly, the answer depends on one thing: whether the seller wants your password. If they do, don't. If they only need your username, the risks that are left are smaller and you can plan for them. We sell followers, so keep that in mind while you read this.
What can go wrong
Giving someone your login
This is how people actually lose accounts. With your password a seller can change the email on the account, post as you, or sell the login. Some growth tools log in as you and follow thousands of accounts from your profile, and that's where action blocks come from. We only need a public username.
Followers getting removed
Instagram deletes accounts it thinks are fake, in waves. When that happens, the follows they made disappear and your count drops. It happens to every seller's followers, ours included. Cheap bot followers get hit hardest, and this page shows how to tell the difference. A refill window is what covers you here, so check the pack says how many days it covers before you pay.
Engagement rate going down
Say you have 800 followers and get 40 likes a post. Buy 1,000 followers who never like anything and you're at 1,800 followers and 40 likes. On paper your engagement rate went from 5% to about 2%. If a brand looks at your account, that's what they see. Adding likes to the posts that matter keeps the ratio from falling so far. Meta hasn't said exactly how that ratio feeds into how many people see your posts, and we don't know either.
Brand audits
Some brands run follower audits before they pay a creator. Bought followers can show up in those, and we can't promise ours won't. If paid deals are the reason you want a bigger count, think about that first. In the US the FTC also has rules about using fake social media indicators to sell something.
What Instagram does about bought followers
Meta says it uses machine learning to find fake accounts and fake activity and remove them. It doesn't publish thresholds, so a seller promising an "undetectable" delivery speed has no way to know that.
In practice buyers mostly see some followers disappear. Instagram tends to go after the fake accounts, not the account they followed. Tends to, not always.
Before you pay anyone
- Does the order form ask for your password? Then no.
- Is it one payment or a monthly plan? Look at the button and the small print next to it. Our packs are one payment. Our monthly plans renew until you cancel.
- How long is the refill window? If it doesn't say, ask before you buy.
- What happens if nothing arrives? Ours: if we can't deliver because of a problem on our side, you get a full refund. See our refund policy.
- Does anyone answer email? Send a question first and see.
Also: keep your profile public until delivery finishes, and turn on two-factor authentication on your account anyway. It won't stop Instagram removing followers, but it stops the worse problems.
If something goes wrong
Your count dropped
Check if you're still inside the pack's refill window. If you are, email us the order reference and we top it up. A drop can also be people unfollowing on their own, so compare with what you gained before the order.
Your posts are reaching fewer people
Compare the same kind of post over the same days of the week. Content, posting times and Instagram's own changes move reach all the time, so a drop after an order doesn't prove the order did it.
Instagram shows you a warning
Read the notice in the app and follow what it tells you to do. Don't ignore it because you never gave anyone your password. We can't see why Instagram flagged something, and we can't lift a restriction.
Common questions
Will buying followers get my account banned?
Nobody can promise it won't. What we see more often is followers removed rather than accounts banned. Keeping your password to yourself removes the biggest risk.
Can Instagram tell the followers were bought?
Sometimes. Instagram finds and deletes a lot of fake accounts. We don't know how it judges any single follow, and neither does any seller.
Is it safe for a business account?
Same risks as any account. The difference is what you lose if followers drop or a partner runs an audit, so decide if that matters to your business before you buy.
How much does it cost?
Our one-time packs start at $3 for 100 followers. 1,000 is $12 and 5,000 is $30. Paying more doesn't make the followers safer, so compare refill windows too, not just price.
If you want to go ahead, the packs are on the Instagram followers page, and likes are sold separately.
