Everzocial has an identifiable team but it seems the website has fallen into a state of disrepair. It doesn’t appear to still be possible to sign up for their Instagram growth service.
Unknown pricing. However, they offer a fully-managed Instagram service for $600 per month. They also offer website design services.
Service Details
We suspect this was a basic SaaS Instagram growth service which they bolted on to their existing offerings.
Integrity & Reputation
They claim to have won some awards between 3-5 years ago, but none of these were verifiable. However, the website has been around for almost a decade.
There are some old reviews on Bark. They seem to be somewhat legitimate, though not based on experiences with the Instagram service.
I warn that the language used in these reviews seems more akin to marketing copy written by the business owners on behalf of clients, but there aren’t so many reviews that this could be a major concern.
Hitting the minimum word count but essentially saying nothing
Conclusion
This service doesn’t appear to still be operating. Further, Instagram growth wasn’t their specialty.
Easy Get Insta / Get Insta is a coin-app service and bulk like provider. Coin apps allow you to grow your account for free, and their app seems legitimate. There are a lot of reviews across Apple and Google app stores and the developer responds to many reviews.
Coin apps are initially free. You “pay” by participating yourself, liking photos and following users who are also signed up. Though they are often regulated by Instagram and they can’t be described as “organic,” they get you raw numbers that are higher quality than totally fake accounts.
With coin apps, you can also pay premium amounts to get even more likes. It’s unclear whether services in this category are safe. But the quality of the likes being sold by this service are likely higher than fake accounts, because they’ll probably just be sourced from users of the coin app.
Service Details
There are several facets of this service. There main storefront is where all the services are sold: on the EasyGetInsta website.
The coin apps that underpin the service are on Google Play, Windows Apps, and the Apple App Store.
The problem with coin apps is that all of the interactions you’ll gain will be guaranteed to be other people using the same circular growth method. Once they earn their coins, it’s likely that they’ll unfollow you. In this sense, completely fake bot followers may be better.
Integrity & Reputation
The review distribution is somewhat suspicious. Do I think that customers using low-cost Instagram growth services would rush to give thousands of five star reviews? Absolutely not.
Looking at the more recent reviews, there are tons of complaints. The complaints greatly outnumber extremely positive reviews. I definitely don’t consider this service to be a scam, but it’s clear that there are serious limitations.
Conclusion
Coin apps can be a cheap and viable way to grow your Instagram. Coin apps depend on large user bases to be useful, and it does seem that this company has a large amount of customers.
This would be an incredibly click-intensive way to grow, so it’s better suited for individuals looking to explore different methods rather than businesses looking to maximize a marketing budget. As soon as you’d have to pay someone to use your coin app for you, it kind of defeats the purpose.
A1 Republic, though it sounds like the name was conceived in a fraternity basement, the company is a unique fully-featured social media agency that specializes in software solutions.
See Service Details section for pricing. Our opinion is that the offerings are diverse enough for there not to be much of a benchmark for the price.
Service Details
Am I ever going to look at an ugly Squarespace website like this one and then turn around and hire you to design a website for me? Hell no.
Other than that, there are a ton of services here: Instagram Growth, Youtube Growth, Tiktok Growth, Facebook Ads, and Google Ranking.
We care most about Instagram so that’s what we’ll focus on.
This is different from the traditional SaaS offering. Do Loop Giveaways work? Yes–but they’re not being forthcoming about how many followers you’ll lose, so that’s a red flag.
Instagram Ad service, that’s actually a great idea and since you see the product, there’s a very low chance of getting scammed.
Real Auto Likes / Real Auto Comments for $80/$100 per month? It’s an oxymoron through and through. If they’re real, they can’t be auto. Engagement groups, generally, are not “real,” they’re super spammy and the actions don’t stick.
Manual IG Growth can be tricky, and at $250 per month, I’d prefer Ampfluence. But you never know.
MSV — we’ve asked around and we actually don’t know what this is. Regardless, it’s for verified accounts only.
This is a diverse enough offering that something might work. We’re willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here and say that some of these services might be worth a try.
Integrity & Reputation
The business doesn’t have any active content or independent reviews. The team is identifiable which builds trust significantly. They might be a good choice, but they’re unproven at this point. A single bad review would bring this service to the C tier.
Conclusion
A1 Republic is a unique service with an awful name and website that just might have one of the most diverse service offerings in the industry. I’d recommend contacting this business before buying any services.
Tree Frog Social has been in business since 2017, predating nearly every other managed growth provider. It’s one of the few operators in this space that has personality and a brand that is memorable. The customer service team has a reputation of being stern but the results speak for themselves. The team is considered one of the best in the business.
Tree Frog Social is known to have cheap prices. In our opinion, it’s the best bang for your buck in the space. A long time ago, $30 per month seemed to be the benchmark for all services, but when you consider that Tree Frog hasn’t seemed to increase their prices since they opened, and still offer a $1 first month with the code treefrog1, it’s too good too ignore.
They also offer discounts for longer-termed plans, though we don’t recommend these unless you’ve already had a pleasant experience with a trial plan.
Service Details
The main focus with their plans is that they guarantee exposure rather than pure follower numbers. This is good. It means that they aren’t promising something they can’t deliver. The rest of the features in the more expensive plans can be useful for those with larger budgets, but the real value is the $29.99 per month plan.
Tree Frog Social has been described as a “Hybrid” service. Our experiences have been positive and the results generally beat out services that cost five or even eight times as much. Though the targeting isn’t always precise, we are in agreement that the quality of followers beats out other services. We think the business employs a variety of methods including growth specialists, engagement groups, and influencer marketing.
The main negative is that Tree Frog’s cancelation process, though automated and instant, can be annoying to deal with. They also can take up to 72 hours to set up accounts. Tree Frog doesn’t offer a user dashboard either, but targeting updates can be processed elsewhere.
We talk about value here a lot. Why would you pay $100 or $200 per month when Tree Frog is going to do the same thing for $29.99?
Integrity & Reputation
Tree Frog seems to do everything right. There are no ridiculous promises or outlandish claims on their website. The business is traceable and the website has only changed slightly from when they first opened.
They have an active blog, Facebook, and Twitter with content writers who all seem to be real people, which is unheard of.
There are some negative trust pilot reviews, but I noticed that each and every one was responded to nearly immediately with an extremely detailed response. The business does have a reputation of being terse with customers, but they claim they’ve responded to 100% of all support tickets and Facebook chat messages over the last four years.
We messaged the company via Facebook and even called them on the phone number listed on their website. They responded to the chat fairly quickly. What really impressed us was that they were the only business that actually picked up the phonewhen we called.
Conclusion
Tree Frog Social is one of the leaders in the growth space. The prices are excellent, the service is safe, the customer support seems to be effective, and the results are on par with most of the more expensive services.
We recommend this service but have landed on an A- rating. If you have had a personal experience with Tree Frog, feel free to contact us. We don’t suppress comments like other review sites.
The Efficient Social not only has an awful name, but it also has an awful website. The business provides a hodgepodge of services, offering instant growth and power likes alongside organic growth. Pitched this way on such a basic website at such cheap prices, it’s hard to see the value.
The prices are cheap. However, the descriptions leave a lot to be desired. “Real niche followers” can’t be guaranteed by anybody. The only difference between the plans is the estimated number of followers, which strongly suggests a basic automation service.
What could they possibly do to offer so many followers on their most expensive plan? Hint: they probably send you some fake activity, since they sell that too.
They also claim that they’ll beat any competitor’s price, which gives away that it’s a bot service.
Service Details
In addition to “Organic Growth” services, The Efficient Social also offers separate “Instant Growth” and “Superlikes” services.
Frankly, if you’re going to stoop so low as to buy fake activity, you should use a trusted provider. Likewise, if you’re going to use an organic growth provider, you should use an established one with respectable reviews.
Integrity & Reputation
It’s hard to trust a website that seems slapped together. It’s a very generic website with no identifiable team members or owner or even a business location. It’s a basic Wix site which causes our suspicions to grow.
Conclusion
Though some hybrid service providers might be highly effective, this isn’t one we can get behind. If it’s maintained at all, it’s staffed by a small team who can’t possibly offer quality of service in line with some of the more major players.
There are more, ahem, efficient ways to allocate your marketing budget.
This was a very expensive service considering how rudimentary the implementation was. Who would have paid for something like this? Your guess is as good as mine.
Service Details
This service had fairly meaningless premium offerings.
Integrity & Reputation
When an owner names his service after himself, you should at least look up the owner. In this case, the owner was a college kid studying finance. Does that give you confidence in him being able to grow your Instagram account or him knowing anything about how to integrate a software service with Instagram?
Thankfully, that is a question we no longer have to answer.
Conclusion
Edstagram was a service that only operated for about a year. Way back then, it was easy to get clients growth, even if you had no idea what you were doing. We hope that Ed has moved on to greener pastures and more honest business ventures.
Gramista seems to have been an Instagress clone that was abandoned by its owners at some point in 2019. Unfortunately, they are still taking peoples’ money.
Gramista offers 1-3-7 day trial plans in addition to extended subscriptions at slight discounts. While these prices are actually fairly reasonable, remember that you have to configure the service yourself and that support most definitely isn’t unlimited.
Service Details
Gramista provides a dashboard from which you can dispatch bots to grow your account. Think of it as a more limited version of Follow Liker, Jarvee, or the defunct Instagress.
For the price, this would have been a pretty good deal back in 2017 or so before Jarvee and other tools took over. Paying this much for a single account, if you’re doing most things yourself, is now considered quite expensive.
As I said above, I don’t think this service has been maintained or functions at all. It isn’t worth digging in deeper here.
Integrity & Reputation
The Trustpilot reviews for this service are awful. None of them have been responded to and they paint a grim picture of the service. All of the complaints are quite specific and I don’t believe they were sent by competitors. Usually, I don’t “F” an company just based on Trustpilot, but this is the most damning review onslaught that I’ve seen.
Take a look for yourself:
In addition to these reviews not being responded to, the company is radio silent everywhere. Blog hasn’t been updated in well over a year. Twitter account hasn’t tweeted. Website hasn’t been updated. Even if they were barely holding on, it wouldn’t take much for them to maintain the facade of a functioning, vibrant service.
There’s been no effort here, so I can’t recommend the service at all.
Conclusion
I’m sure this service was respectably at one time, but it seems they pulled the plug on the operation while continuing to collect money from subscribers. There is no proof anywhere that the service still works. Will gladly update this review if I obtain information to the contrary.
Social Sensei is one of the best-known sources for influencer/giveaway marketing, a relatively new niche in the growth space. Unfortunately, it is very hard to assess the quality of followers that the service provides.
These services are more expensive than nearly all other Instagram growth services. However, the followers are guaranteed. If you have a large marketing budget, Social Sensei can be a great choice.
Service Details
Influencer/giveaway marketing is a new concept. In this space, your name will be supplied to a popular Instagram account who will then get paid a large amount to promote your account and others’.
While you’re guaranteed that you will get followers, you aren’t guaranteed that they will interact with you. You also aren’t guaranteed that they’ll stick. The follower loss rate over one month can be, and often is, worse than if you were to just buy fake followers.
The value proposition here is like many others in the high-end space. You should probably only wade in here if you’re confident that you have the rest of your social media strategy figured out. It also will stack with any other promotion you are running.
Integrity & Reputation
Frankly, the Trust Pilot reviews leave a lot to be desired. The wording in many of them is generic and obviously fake. Further, the negative reviews are very specific in their critiques and have recently gone unanswered:
This reveals a huge problem with services promising you followers, even high-end ones. They can charge you $300 and pay influencers $250 and maybe eek out a $50 profit, or they can buy fake followers for $10 and make $290.
Though I am suspicious of this service, I will try to gather more information before docking my rating more serverly.
Conclusion
The concept behind Social Sensei works. However, you can find yourself still receiving fake followers or receiving real followers who unfollow you after a few days. Approach it with caution. This may be worth trying out for those with large budgets.
