BSTB reviews social media growth services by buying from them, auditing their prices and reading their Terms, then tracking every order for 30 days before giving a Good, Mixed, Fair or Poor verdict. Every provider on this page went through the same process, so you can compare them on the same terms.

Each card shows the verdict, the platforms the provider sells for, its entry price, whether it asks for your password and the refund rule from its Terms. Filter by platform or verdict, or open the full review for pricing tables, buyer reports and alternatives.
Followers, likes, views, story views and comments
Goread.io is a mixed pick: the lowest entry prices in this set and no password required, but no named company, conflicting guarantee periods and refunds only for late delivery.
Followers, likes, views, comments and subscribers
Twicsy is fair, use with caution: published prices, no password and a written 30-day refund window, but no company address, no refill on the cheapest follower tier and terms that put ban risk on the buyer.
Followers, likes, views, comments and 30-day auto plans
Likes.io is fair, use with caution: six platforms, one-time payments, a named Dubai operator and a dated refund policy, but refund and refill terms conflict and cards are charged in UAE dirhams with no PayPal.
Followers, likes, views and per-post auto-likes
StormLikes is fair, use with caution: low entry prices, no password and a full refund if delivery has not started within 72 hours, but the 30-day refill is missing from the Terms and followers come from an exchange network.
Managed follow/unfollow growth plans
Kicksta is mixed, use with care: a named company operating since 2015 with targeted follows and clear prices, but it needs your Instagram password, uses automation Instagram may flag, and multi-month plans are non-refundable.
TikTok followers, likes, views and per-post automation
Celebian is mixed, use with caution: no password, published prices, free trials and phone support, but no refill policy, refunds only for orders unfinished after 48 hours and an undisclosed follower source.
Former managed Instagram growth service (now redirects to SidesMedia)
Growthoid is rated poor, avoid: the brand no longer operates under its own name, it reportedly required Instagram login access, and buyers reported charges after cancelling and delayed refunds.
Followers, likes and views
Buzzoid is being put through the same test orders, pricing audit and 30-day tracking as every other provider on this page. The verdict appears here when tracking finishes.

A BSTB verdict is one of four labels, Good, Mixed, Fair or Poor, decided by four checks: password requirement, written refund and refill policy, price at the 100-follower point and whether the company can be verified. The label tells you how much caution a provider needs; the full review tells you why.
No password, clear written policies, a verifiable company and market-rate prices. BSTB would use it.
Works as described but carries a real gap, such as a password requirement or a non-refundable plan. Use with care.
Cheap and password-free, but policies conflict across pages or the company cannot be verified. Use with caution.
Buyer reports of charges after cancelling, a brand that no longer operates, or signs of fake reviews. Avoid.
The table below puts every live review on one row each, so you can compare verdicts, platforms, password requirements, entry prices and refund rules without opening seven pages. Prices are the cheapest package found on the audit date and are shown as quoted on the provider's site.

Entry prices and refund rules were checked on Oct 11, 2026 and are re-audited when a provider changes them. Open a review for the full pricing table and policy quotes.
Every review follows the same five steps, from a real order placed with BSTB's own money to a 30-day tracking log, so a Fair for one provider means the same as a Fair for another. Nothing is written from a provider's press kit, and no provider sees a review before it is published.
Read the full methodology
Every provider is bought from with a BSTB account and a real card, starting with the smallest package it sells.
Package prices are recorded on the day of review and compared at the 100-follower point so providers can be ranked on the same unit.
Refund windows, refill promises and cancellation rules are checked in the Terms, and any conflict is reported.
Delivery speed, drop-off and refill behaviour are logged daily for a month before a verdict is written.
The operator named in the Terms is checked against registries, and third-party ratings are reported as found.
The fastest way to lose money on a growth service is to miss one of six warning signs, and every review on this page checks all six. Use the list as your own checklist for any provider BSTB has not reviewed yet.
A follower service never needs your login. Managed "growth" tools that do are automating actions the platform can ban you for.
If the Terms page does not repeat the refill or refund window, the sales page promise is not enforceable.
A seller you cannot identify is a seller you cannot chargeback against with any confidence.
A removed profile usually means flagged reviews. Treat glowing testimonials on the seller's own site as marketing.
A 6-month guarantee on one page and 30 days on another means the shorter one applies.
Reported for subscription-style growth plans. Pay for one-time packages where you can.
Provider reviews tell you whether one site is safe; the buying guides rank the best sites for a single platform and service, using the same four checks. Start with the guide for the platform you are growing, then open the review of the provider you are leaning towards.
Quick answers on how the archive works, how verdicts are decided and how to pick a first provider.
The BSTB reviews archive is the full list of social media growth services BSTB has tested, each with a verdict, entry price and the terms that matter before you pay.
Use the filters at the top to narrow the list by platform or verdict.
BSTB rates growth services on four terms: whether they ask for your password, what the written refund and refill policy says, how pricing compares at the 100-follower point, and whether the company behind the site can be verified.
The four terms produce one label: Good, Mixed, Fair or Poor.
Good means BSTB would use the service, Mixed means use with care, Fair means use with caution, and Poor means avoid.
Each review states which gaps produced its label.
No. BSTB is not paid to rank providers, and a provider cannot buy a better verdict.
The same rule applies to the Good labels and the Poor ones.
Start with the provider that matches your platform and does not ask for your password, then read its refund rule before paying.
Nothing on this page replaces organic growth; it is a shortcut you should understand before taking.
Reviews are re-checked whenever a provider changes its prices, policies or ownership, and every review shows the date it was last updated.
If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will re-test it.
Tell us which growth service you are considering and we will put it through the same orders, audits and 30-day tracking as everything on this page.
