Our Grade – B
We reviewed this site when it was launched and revised the review following extensive photographic proof provided by the company’s owner.
At a Glance
Emiiko.io is a new Instagram growth service that claims to offer growth by hand.
Their prices are reasonable and the information provided on the website suggests that this is a legitimate product offering. Upon further inspection, we noticed some oddities as in the original website that were similar to another provider. After speaking with the owner, we more fully understand what the temporary situation was and retract these claims.
Emiiko, while still new and without tons of customer reviews, has proved to our team that they are indeed growing accounts by hand. We believe them.

Pricing
Emiiko costs $97 per month. A fair price if your Instagram is actually being grown by hand. There are no other pricing options or confusing descriptions, which we can appreciate.
The Emiiko team has shown us proof both of the phones they use to offer the service and their employees who are growing accounts. It is a legitimate offering at a price that is not too good to be true.
Service Details
Growth by hand means that somebody somewhere logs in to your account and engages with targeted accounts as if they were you. How do they do this, specifically?
We have a team of real people that will sign into your Instagram account on a phone and start interacting with your target audience by liking their pictures, following/unfollowing, and viewing their Stories.
Emiiko.io
The benefit of using a growth-by-hand service is that it’s Instagram compliant. You won’t be risking a shadowban. But, how much better can the targeting be? Truthfully, it’ll be a little better in that it’s easier for humans to exclude sexually explicit and offensive pictures. Beyond that, the main benefit is that you won’t be risking an action block. In 2021, most automation providers can’t go a single day without having a client blocked. So, the fact that you won’t face blocks on this service is pretty significant.
There are two big risks when it comes to using a growth by hand service. First, these individuals, if they exist, are real people who could do malicious things on your account like sending DMs or simply reading your DMs. Next, there’s no guarantee that your growth manager is actually sitting there clicking all day. This is why we’re initially suspicious of growth-by-hand services.
Integrity & Reputation
This seems like one of the most legitimate sites out there. Super sleek with great branding and all the right words. Things are evolving!
The business also has a physical address, which is rare:
That leads me to restaurant called NOHO in the meatpacking district of Denmark. I asked the owner about this, and he replied with a picture taken from his office, directly above the restaurant named NOHO. He tells me that it’s a pretty good restaurant, though has been closed due to the pandemic.
Conclusion
While we were initially suspicious of Emiiko, we believe that it’s a legitimate growth-by-hand provider. We caught them in the very early stages of developing their website, and the owner politely contacted us and set the record straight. We are happy to update this review.
