Our Grade: C-
A service that may be respectable but falls short of competitors on nearly all points.
At a Glance
Though Likegrower has been around for a very long time, their service remains shadowy. It’s not a subscription service, but don’t be fooled by their cheap prices. It’s likely that they’re just purchasing fake activity on pay-for-likes sites or adding you to a spammy botnet.

Pricing
The prices are reasonable, but considering the quality of what you’d be getting, you’d be better off just paying to run ads.
Service Details
What’s a “Human Algorithm”? Err…
With Likegrowers, you sign up and then can log in using a dashboard from which you can probably influence some targeting. It’s not clear to me whether they need your password or just send activity to you. In any case, beware when the buzzwords are strong. When they start talking about algorithms and AI at this price point, don’t be fooled! Everything is automated in the simplest way possible, and your “organic” “human” results will not be nearly what you’re expecting.
Integrity & Reputation
This business has no web presence to speak of despite being active for over three years. There are 3 independent reviews on Trustpilot and, though Trustpilot isn’t the ultimate source of truth, all the reviews mention that the service no longer works. None of them have been responded to. There are 150+ reviews on the site but due to other clearly false claims made on the website (and the fact that none of the identities are verified), they shouldn’t be trusted.
There is no visible team behind this business or an easy way to contact support. It is likely an overseas firm run by a single person whose automated bot stopped working at some point.
After more research, I determined that this business was an offshoot of the equally opaque IvyMinds, a marketing website registered in the Netherlands claiming to have some very impressive clients:
Conclusion
What seems like a somewhat unique, low-priced service has too many red flags to be worth trying. They’ve gone to some lengths to hide information and maintain a low profile. Kind of ironic that a business that is supposed to be boosting your Instagram doesn’t want anybody to find out about them.
