Our Grade – D
An untrustworthy service.
At a Glance
Though Firing Table has been around for a long time, there is a complete lack of transparency around the business and the site hasn’t been updated in years. There are many complaints about the business in the Minneapolis Better Business Bureau page, which is actually quite rare for an Instagram growth service.

Pricing
Firing Table’s prices are charged per-week. What type of business charges on a weekly basis? Those that are scammy and trying to trick you. These prices are quite expensive considering it’s just a basic SaaS service, at best.
Service Details
The website claims they’ll get you “real fans and followers” but, truthfully, there’s no way to guarantee that. They say you’ll get a “60% interaction rate” which I think means a 60% reciprocal interaction rate which is impossible to guarantee and is extremely high unless you are a model.
The rest of their offerings are run-of-the-mill and, even if they do work flawlessly, quite expensive.
Integrity & Reputation
The business has been around for a long time. This stands at odds with the complete lack of web presence outside of the main website.
There are, however, many complaints on the Better Business Bureau’s website. You can see a small clustering of fake reviews in the spring of 2018 and then an avalanche of truthful negative complaints between the two pages they’re listed on. The majority of complaints haven’t been responded to.
This business has always struck me as a bit of a scam and I’m surprised it’s so hard to find these negative reviews.

Conclusion
This is one of the few surviving “original” scammy services. It seems to be run in a dishonest way. The only reason it’s mentioned on so many blog sites is because it has a very distinctive (though awful) name that hasn’t been changed in years. Definitely skip this one.
