MVRQ Review: We Put Them To The Test
I reviewed more than 70 Instagram growth services, so how does MVRQ compare to the leaders? Check out my video review and the full breakdown below.
Ascend Viral CEO
“MVRQ is one of the better services out there. They focus on real manual growth and don’t mess around with bots or fake followers. I think there are things that they could improve; but in theory, the service appears to do things the right way.”
My Personal Review of MVRQ (2025)
MVRQ is based in Vienna, Austria, and stands out because it actually sticks to Instagram’s terms of service with 100% human-powered growth. They use two main strategies: targeted outreach with follow/unfollow and a niche account method that funnels traffic back to your main account. Both are safe approaches that can bring consistent results if you’re patient. Pricing is reasonable compared to most, starting at €149 per month for outreach and going higher if you want niche accounts or full Instagram management. It should be noted that they don’t offer a free trial, so you need to commit upfront, and the YouTuber who heavily promoted them in the past is no longer affiliated. That said, the service is still solid in theory, though it would be even better if they added content support to help users improve posts while growing.
Overview of MVRQ's Claims
They claim to deliver real followers through manual interaction, no bots, no fake accounts, and total account safety. They highlight their in-house team in Vienna, their use of real smartphones, and transparent pricing. They also emphasize that you can keep using your Instagram as usual while their growth managers do the work in the background.
What I Discovered About MVRQ
The service is legitimate. They don’t appear to be reselling panel followers or disguising automation as manual growth. Growth numbers are slower than fake services (300–700 per month for outreach, more for niche accounts), but these are real people. That’s exactly what you want if you’re serious about building an audience. The downside is that without any content guidance, results will depend heavily on what you’re posting.
What Other People Are Saying
Feedback from users is generally positive. People highlight that they actually see real followers engaging, unlike with the panels. Some do mention that results can be slower than they hoped, but that’s part of doing growth the right way. The biggest complaint is the lack of a free trial and the upfront costs, but most agree the service is safe and worth it if you’re serious.
About Me & My Company, Ascend Viral
My name is Ethan Adams, and I run Ascend Viral. We are an Instagram growth service built on one simple idea: real people create real results. Every customer who works with us gets a dedicated growth assistant who manages outreach by hand. No bots, no shortcuts, and no fake followers. Just authentic growth done the right way.
I know it may seem unusual for me to write about competitors on my own site and on YouTube. I understand why that might feel odd, but the truth is most of the so-called competitors in this space are not even playing the same game. They are selling fake followers, using shady automation, or running scams designed to take advantage of people who want to grow on Instagram. When I come across a company that is doing things the right way, I have no problem giving them credit. At the same time, I believe it is my responsibility to speak up when I see companies misleading people. I create these reviews in order to help people make the right choice when it comes to gaining Instagram followers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does It Work?
Ascend Viral is all about organic growth, which means that every follower you gain through our service is a real person with a genuine interest in your content. We achieve this by using a manual follow/unfollow strategy, targeting users who are likely to engage with your posts and stay for the long haul. Unlike automated or bot-based services, we have a team of real people—your Personal Growth Assistants—who carefully manage your account interactions to maximize growth. They work in the background, handling the repetitive tasks of following and unfollowing, so you don’t have to.
When you start with Ascend Viral, we’ll ask about your goals, your target audience, and any specific accounts or niches you want to tap into. With this information, your Growth Assistant tailors a strategy that aligns with your objectives, focusing on the right audience for the best results.
Will It Work For Me?
Yes! Ascend Viral will work for you, here’s why: Our approach centers on organic growth, meaning each follower you gain through Ascend Viral is a real person with a real interest in your content. Unlike services that rely on bots or automation, Ascend Viral assigns you a dedicated Personal Growth Assistant—a real person who manages your account interactions by hand. This personal, manual approach keeps your account safe, while building a community of followers who genuinely care about what you’re sharing.
When you sign up, you’ll go through an onboarding process where you’ll provide details about your ideal followers, industry competitors, and specific growth goals. Your Growth Assistant uses this information to create a customized growth strategy that targets followers relevant to your niche. We don’t just aim for quantity but for quality interactions, attracting followers who are genuinely interested in your content and likely to stay engaged over time.
How Much Will I Grow?
When it comes to growth, Ascend Viral prioritizes quality over quantity. While some services may promise thousands of followers overnight, we take a different approach that emphasizes sustainable, real growth. Our Personal Growth Assistants interact with accounts that fit your audience profile, focusing on genuine connections that lead to better engagement over time.
The exact number of followers you gain depends on multiple factors unique to your account, and while it’s hard to pinpoint an exact figure, we typically see anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand new followers each month. Ultimately, growth can vary month by month, but by focusing on consistent, authentic interactions, you’ll build a following that’s engaged and truly interested in your content.
Why Ascend Viral?
Ascend Viral’s unique approach revolves around the support of your own Personal Growth Assistant. Unlike automated services, where bots and scripts handle interactions, our service is entirely manual. This means that a dedicated Growth Assistant is assigned to your account, ensuring that each interaction is meaningful and designed to connect with real people who are genuinely interested in your content.
Your Personal Growth Assistant manages everything from identifying ideal followers to interacting with accounts within your niche, freeing you from the time-consuming task of engaging while also keeping your account safe. Our team is trained to learn about your brand, preferences, and target audience, enabling them to build a strategy tailored to your goals. This one-on-one approach allows us to deliver authentic, sustainable growth while ensuring your account remains compliant with Instagram’s guidelines. Having a Growth Assistant means you can relax and focus on creating great content, knowing your growth is in capable hands.
When Do I Get Results?
Ascend Viral’s growth process is designed to be gradual but steady. We don’t use bots or automation—everything is done manually by your Personal Growth Assistant. This approach protects your account, ensures compliance with Instagram’s guidelines, and builds a follower base that’s truly engaged.
In terms of growth, results vary based on your niche, target audience, and content quality. Generally, clients can expect to see a follower increase of about 100-500 in the first month, with potential for 300-1,000+ per month once your strategy is fully optimized.
