InstaBoostNow compared with other UK Instagram panels
Nine things worth comparing before you hand money to any follower panel, with our answers beside two named UK-facing competitors. Three of the nine rows go against us. They are still in the table.
Read the comparison Where we come off worse
- Every figure read on that company's own page
- Checked on 8 August 2026
- No competitor named without a source
- The rows we lose are printed too
Comparison pages in this corner of the internet are usually written by the company that wins every row, which is why nobody believes them. This one is written to a simple rule instead: a figure about another company appears here only if we read it on that company's own page, on the date printed under the table. No search listings, no directories, no screenshots from last year.
That rule has a cost, and you can see it in the table. One column has gaps where a price should be, because that site prices in a currency we are not willing to convert on your behalf. A third UK site we meant to include is missing entirely. Both of those are the rule working, not the page failing.
How these figures were gathered
There are four steps, and they are dull on purpose.
- Each competitor's own page was fetched directly on 8 August 2026, in this order:
- Viralyft - we read /buy-instagram-followers, /buy-instagram-likes and the home page.
- BuyInstagramFollowers365.co.uk - we read the home page, which carries the full follower price list.
- Only what was printed on those pages was recorded. Where a page states something in its own words, the table paraphrases it rather than quoting it, and never sharpens it into a number the page did not give.
- Anything a page did not state is written as not stated. That is why one refill row reads as a gap rather than a length in days - the page advertises a refill window without saying how long the window is, and inventing one would be worse than admitting the gap.
- A site we could not load was dropped, not carried over from an earlier check.
One site was dropped from this check
SocialFollowers.uk was on the list for this check and is not in the table. The server refused our request on the day we checked (an HTTP 403 response, which normally means automated requests are blocked rather than anything being wrong with the site). We could not read a price, so the site was left out rather than republish a figure from an earlier check.
The comparison
Our column is what this site charges and publishes today. The other two columns are what those sites printed on the date below.
| What you are comparing | InstaBoostNow | Viralyft | BuyInstagramFollowers365.co.uk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Currency the price list is in | Pounds, on PayPal's own screens | US dollars | Pounds |
| Price for 1,000 followers | £8.99 | Listed in US dollars, so we have not printed a pound figure | £11 |
| Price for 10,000 followers | £54.99 | Listed in US dollars, so we have not printed a pound figure | £84 |
| Smallest package you can buy | £0.99 for 50 followers | 100 followers, priced in US dollars | 100 followers, £1.50 |
| Largest published package | 10,000 followers | 100,000 followers | 25,000 followers |
| Refill cover on followers | 30-day refill on followers orders | Advertises a refill on drops for six months after purchase | Advertises a refill window, but the page does not give its length |
| Instagram password needed | No. We never ask for your Instagram password | States that it never asks for a social account password | States that a public username is all it needs |
| Delivery wording used | Delivery starts within minutes. Orders complete within 0-24 hours | Says followers start to appear within the first 24 hours | Says delivery usually begins within minutes of payment clearing |
| Contact routes published | Email only, 9am-9pm UK time | A support email address | Email, a phone number and a postal address |
Competitor figures checked on 8 August 2026, read from each company's own page. Prices in this market change often and without notice, so treat every cell as a snapshot with a date on it rather than a standing quote.
Where we come off worse
Three rows go against us. Here is each one, without the softening.
A shorter refill window on followers
Our cover is a 30-day refill on followers orders, counted from the order completing. One of the two sites in the table advertises a refill on drops for six months after purchase, which is a longer window than ours by a wide margin. If refill length is the thing you care most about, that row is a real reason to buy elsewhere.
What we will say in our defence is only this: our window is written down, it has a number in it, and the exclusions are published rather than buried. The refill does not apply to likes, saves, shares, reposts, reel views or story views. It does not apply after 30 days. It does not cover a count that fell because the account went private, the username changed, or Instagram acted on the account. A long window with vague terms and a short window with exact terms are not as far apart as they look.
Fewer ways to reach us
One of the two sites publishes an email address, a telephone number and a postal address. We publish an email address and support hours, and that is the whole list. There is no phone line and no counter to walk up to.
That is a genuine disadvantage if you would rather speak to somebody, and we are not going to dress it up as a design decision. It is what a small operation can staff properly. An unanswered telephone number would look better on this page and serve you worse.
A shorter published ladder
Our published follower packages stop at 10,000. Both sites in the table publish larger packages than that, one of them considerably larger. Very large orders are still possible through the order form, but the published ladder is where most buyers look, and ours ends sooner.
And the row that is not in the table
We started in 2026. There is no star rating and there are no customer testimonials on this site - not because we are modest, but because no verified reviews have been collected yet, and a fabricated one is worse than an empty space. Both companies in the table have been visible in this market longer than we have. If length of track record is what decides it for you, that decides it.
What the currency row means for a UK buyer
One of the two sites lists every price in US dollars. That is not a criticism - it is a global service and most of its buyers are not in Britain. It does change the arithmetic for you, though, in two ways that are easy to miss at the checkout.
The first is the exchange rate. A dollar price is converted at whatever rate applies when the payment is taken, so the pound figure leaving your account is not the figure you compared. The second is the card fee: many UK cards add a non-sterling transaction fee on top, typically a small percentage of the whole amount, and it does not appear on the merchant's price list because it is not the merchant's charge.
We have deliberately not converted those prices for you. A converted figure printed here would look like a fact and would in truth be a guess about the rate and the fee on the day you happen to read this. What we can tell you is the one thing that is certain: our prices are set in pounds, charged in pounds, and the figure on the page is the figure PayPal takes.
What this page is not claiming
It is not claiming that either company in the table is dishonest, that their followers are worse than ours, or that they will not deliver. We have not tested their delivery and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Every cell in their columns is a description of what their page printed, nothing more.
It is not claiming that we are the least expensive option in Britain, either. We are not going to make a claim about a whole market we have not measured, and the sites that do make it usually have not measured it either.
What the table does show, and all it shows, is nine things that are worth putting side by side, our answers to them, and where two other companies stood on the date at the top of this page. Take the same nine questions to any panel you are considering. A company that will not answer them in writing has told you something useful.
If you would rather read the terms than the table, the pages below are where our side of every row above is written down in full.

Questions about comparing panels
The ones people send us after reading a table like this.
Why are some cells in this table left blank on price?
Because one of the two sites lists its prices in US dollars rather than pounds, and we will not print a converted figure we cannot stand behind.
The pound amount a UK card is actually charged depends on the exchange rate at the moment of payment and on whatever foreign-transaction fee the card issuer adds. Those two numbers are not ours to state, so the cell says what the currency is and stops there.
How were the other sites checked?
Each company page was fetched directly on the date printed under the table, and only what was printed on that page was recorded. Search listings were not used as evidence at any point.
Anything a page did not state is written as not stated, rather than filled in with something that sounds right. That is why one row reads as a gap instead of a length in days.
One site is missing from the table. What happened to it?
Its server refused our request on the day we checked. We could not read a price from the page itself, so it is not in the table.
The alternative would have been to republish a figure from an earlier check and hope it still held. Prices in this market move often enough that an old figure is a guess with a decimal point on it.
Is a dearer panel a better panel?
Not on its own, no. Price on its own tells you very little, because every panel in this market buys from a small number of wholesale suppliers and the difference between two retail prices is often just margin.
What the price sometimes buys is a longer refill window, a support route that survives the payment, or a clearer statement of what happens when an order stalls. Those are worth comparing. A larger number by itself is not.
Are you claiming your service is better than these two?
No. We are claiming that the figures in the table were read off their own pages on the date shown, and that our column matches what this site charges.
Three of the rows go against us and we have left them in with an explanation. Anyone who publishes a comparison where they win every row is showing you their advertisement, not their homework.
How long will these figures stay accurate?
Assume they start going out of date the week after the date under the table. Panels change their published prices frequently, and none of them announce it.
Treat this page as a snapshot with a date on it. Before you buy anywhere, open the price list on that company site and read the figure yourself.
