Our Grade – D+
This is an untrustworthy service.
At a Glance
Kenji.ai is an Instagram growth service that freely admits to running a bot. Their website is unique and, thanks to an affiliate program, they’ve enjoyed a few shill reviews on popular blogs.
At the end of the day, this service throws up too many red flags to be of interest to us.

Pricing
Even for a bot service, these are decent prices! Kenji starts at $47 per month and offers a pro plan for $78 per month. If this service worked flawlessly, $47 per month would be a competitive price point.
Service Details
Kenji is forthcoming about being a bot service. To give them credit, they do have a How it Works page that explains the service in detail. In summary, they use the tried-and-true follow/unfollow method.
Integrity & Reputation
Here’s where things fall apart for what seems like an otherwise impressive service. Kenji maintains no social media presence whatsoever with no live chat feature or social proof present on the website.
Kenji claims to have 110,000 users. What?
Kenji has always claimed to have 110,000 users. By that logic, the business brings in over $5,000,000 USD per month. Huh … you would expect more of a web presence from a business of that stature. Maybe just one employee on LinkedIn?
Now the crazy thing is that Kenji probably has hundreds of customers, judging by the frequency of these awful reviews:
Of course, Kenji hasn’t responded to any of the negative reviews. And they’re all negative.
While this business might have been one of the holdouts from 2018, the suspicion seems to be that they ghosted after the updates in 2019 and now just take money from unsuspecting customers.
It is actually impressive that they haven’t been shut down by their payment provider.
Conclusion
Kenji, while poised as one of the top growth services, has failed recently customers miserably and shamefully. The business maintains no web presence and must do a lot to regain trust, if they’re even still able to offer the service.
