Social Media Growth Pricing Index 2026: What Boosts Cost in the UK

How much does it actually cost to buy social proof in 2026? Pricing in this market is notoriously opaque: many providers hide their rates behind sliders, currency tricks or checkout surprises. This index publishes the full picture in one place, based on our own live catalogue: the listed starting price of every service we sell, across every platform we support.

Methodology

The figures below are the listed starting prices (the smallest package per service) of all 61 services in the StreamElevate catalogue on 15 October 2026, in GBP, grouped by platform. They come directly from the live product pages, so the linked page is always the up-to-date source. No estimates and no third-party data — this is our own published price list, in table form.

The headline numbers

• The median starting price across all 61 services is £1.49; the average is £3.10.
• Threads is the cheapest platform to get started on (average starting price £1.49), followed by TikTok (£1.63).
• Snapchat and LinkedIn are the most expensive entry points — professional-network audiences cost roughly four to five times more than short-video engagement.
• On most platforms where we sell both, the cheapest engagement signals (likes, views, saves, comments) start at or below the price of audience growth (followers, members, subscribers), although specialist engagement services such as comments, saves and watch time can cost considerably more.

Notes

Prices change; the linked product pages are the live source and always take precedence over this snapshot. Starting prices refer to the smallest available package, so they are entry points rather than per-unit rates — larger packages have a lower unit cost. We update this index when the catalogue changes meaningfully. The prices shown are regular list prices; temporary promotions, such as seasonal discounts, can lower the live price.
