Our Grade – C-
A hybrid service that doesn’t pass most of our trust tests.
At a Glance
Gramiety is a hybrid growth service offering the typical bot-growth plan that they claim is provided by real people as well as an influencer giveaway component which may be more promising. There are still plenty of red flags that leave us leery about this operation.

Pricing
The growth service costs $99 per month and the influencer marketing service costs $199 per month.
Service Details
Gramiety offers two different services. The first is “Organic Growth from $99/month Growth Powered By Real Humans.”
The second is “Influencer loop giveaways from $199/mo.”
The first service, obviously, is just a basic bot service that is most certainly not “Instagram compliant.” The branding and price points are so similar to some other services that we’re actively investigating whether there is some connection between this business and others in the same class.
The influencer giveaways generally work, but Gramiety doesn’t tell you that huge amounts of these followers will simply disappear. We purchased many of these services for our test accounts, and found that 50% follower loss within two weeks was the norm, not the exception.
Integrity & Reputation
This website has a marquee block on their website showing all the major places they’ve supposedly been featured. Why not link to the articles or features? Because … these features don’t exist. It’s a lie.
What about the review distribution?
This makes absolutely no sense. Even if this was the best service ever, where are the 4, 3, and 2 star reviews? This is just a classic example of Trustpilot allowing their platform to be abused.
All of the 5-star reviews are basically one-sentence reviews saying totally generic things. The saving grace that rips the mask off this service is the one user who chose to leave a critical review:
Now, is there a chance that this is a fake review template used by competitors? Absolutely. There isn’t enough detail here to convince us 100%. But Gramiety’s response is a bit lacking.
Okay … Well … how can you be using 100% manual labor to provide hundreds if not thousands of followers per month for $99? You can’t. If you have an offshore office in Bangladesh, identify your employees there. Otherwise, you’re lying and using bots.
Conclusion
Gramiety makes some of the most outrageous claims we have ever seen. They use some basic tricks to market their basic Instagram growth service but even while their hybrid product offering may be viable, they also don’t apprise users of the risks of giveaway marketing. Based on our experiences, we advise against using this service.
