We Reviewed Every Instagram Growth Service

After reviewing over 70 Instagram growth companies, we found most were selling fake followers and false promises. We decided to do something about it.

The Instagram growth industry has a serious trust problem.

We're exposing the truth.

The Instagram growth space is flooded with services that say all the right things but fail to deliver real, lasting results. Most people don’t know what they’re actually paying for until it’s too late, so we decided to do something about it. We created this review system to give creators, brands, and businesses a clear, honest look at what each service really does.

We want to see businesses & creators win on Instagram.

We built this series of reviews to protect businesses and creators from companies that use harmful tactics to sell fake growth. Our goal is to highlight what really works on Instagram so you can grow safely, effectively, and with confidence.

The smartest way to grow is through honest, authentic engagement.

The best results come from doing things the right way. Buying fake followers might feel like a shortcut, but it never leads to real impact. If you want meaningful growth, you need real people, honest strategy, and consistency. That’s what we looked for, and that’s what we recommend.

What Honest growth looks like:

The Instagram growth industry is packed with scammers. These companies make big promises, take your money, and send you fake followers that hurt your account. I had enough. That’s why I built Ascend Viral, a real alternative for people who actually care about building a genuine community on Instagram. If you want real growth with real people, then Ascend Viral is for you.

Common Questions

Are there other factors that should be considered in addition to the five outlined in the videos?
Yes, there are various other factors that a potential customer should consider. You should look into the claims that the service providers make, search for user reviews, and ask the companies any remaining questions that you might have for them.
Why didn't you test the actual results of each Instagram growth service?
It would be nearly impossible to run an efficient, unbiased quality test of the 25+ businesses listed above. Many service providers sell fake followers, low quality followers, untargeted followers, and so on. Determining the quality of each follower would likely be too subjective, and we wanted this series to be as objective as possible. 
Why should unethical growth strategies be avoided?
Avoiding unethical Instagram growth strategies is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your account and avoiding penalties from Instagram. Using any kind of blackhat or unethical strategies can damage your account’s reputation and ultimately hurt your long-term growth potential. It can also lead to account suspensions.
Why is knowing who runs an Instagram growth service important?
Knowing the owners of an Instagram growth service can provide valuable insights into their experience, expertise, and motivations. It also allows you to assess their credibility and trustworthiness, which is essential before trusting them with your account’s growth. Typically, companies who openly violate IG’s TOS tend not to reveal any team information.

Choosing The Right Service

What's the biggest factor in choosing the right growth service?
Before signing up with an Instagram growth service, it’s important to feel comfortable with their methods and overall approach. This involves researching their reputation, understanding their strategies, and ensuring they align with your values and goals for your account’s growth.
What if growth isn't what I expected when I sign up with an Instagram growth service?
This is why understanding the basic fundamentals of Instagram growth and Instagram growth service providers is important. Once you understand the foundations on how everything works, then you’ll be able to determine what can be improved in your Instagram growth journey. 
Will this list regularly be updated as new service providers are introduced?
We plan to routinely update our “grades” whenever current growth providers noticeably improve their service. We also will keep an eye out for new service providers.
What additional benefits does Ascend Viral offer that were not mentioned in the videos?
There’s a lot of things! We have our own customized dashboard that allows you to seamlessly interact with your personal growth assistant and monitor your analytics on Instagram. We created this with the help of OwlStat, a popular Instagram analytics software.
