Last updated: 26 October 2026. Competitor prices checked on their own websites on 19 October 2026; StreamElevate prices on this page are live.
The short answer: for UK buyers, the sites worth shortlisting are the ones that bill in pounds, never ask for your password, deliver gradually, publish a refill guarantee and say which company you are paying. On those points, StreamElevate, Mega Followers, SMFame, Superviral and Social Followers UK all price in GBP, while Buzzoid and Twicsy bill in US dollars. Refill guarantees range from 30 days to lifetime, and only some providers name a registered company on their site. The table below puts the published numbers side by side so you can compare for yourself.
Disclosure: this guide is published by StreamElevate, which is one of the providers in the comparison. We have listed competitors with the prices and terms they publish themselves, linked to their pages, and kept our own entry to the same facts. Check each provider’s site before buying, because prices and terms change.

Prices are for each provider’s standard or entry tier. Several providers sell higher tiers at higher prices; Twicsy, for example, lists 1,000 “Active” followers at $22.99 and “VIP” at $39.99. Dollar prices are charged in USD, so your bank applies its own exchange rate and may add a foreign transaction fee.
How we compared them
We looked only at what each provider publishes on its own Instagram followers page, and checked the same seven things for every site:
- Currency. Paying in pounds avoids conversion fees on UK cards.
- Price for 100 and 1,000 followers. The two sizes most people start with.
- UK-targeted followers. Whether you can choose accounts based in the UK, and what it costs.
- Refill guarantee. How long the provider promises to replace followers who drop off.
- Refund terms. What happens if an order is not delivered.
- Password. None of the seven asks for it. Any site that does should be avoided.
- Who you are paying. Whether a registered company and country are named on the site.
The providers in brief
StreamElevate
Prices in GBP, from £1.99 for 100 to £8.99 for 1,000 Instagram followers. Delivery starts within minutes and is spread out gradually, and an optional UK audience costs 40% extra. Refills are covered for life, and an order that is not delivered is refunded in full. StreamElevate is run by Global Marketing Industry, registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KvK 96207922), and is not connected to streamelevate.com.
Mega Followers
A UK-registered provider (TIGMONSTUDIOS LTD) that focuses on UK-targeted followers: 1,000 UK followers cost £30.00, while its general followers start at £1.99 for 100 and £10.50 for 1,000. UK followers come with a 30-day refill on request, and the site accepts cards, UK bank transfer and crypto.
SMFame
Among the lowest listed prices in GBP, at £1.99 for 100 and £9.99 for 1,000, with a 30-day refund guarantee. Its packages list a delivery time of 6–10 hours, and the site does not name the company behind it.
Superviral
A long-running brand with a UK version of its site, prices from £2 and a 30-day auto-refill plus a 30-day refund guarantee. Card and Apple Pay payments are accepted.
Social Followers UK
Run by SEO Aimz Limited, a UK company. Instagram packages start at £4.67, and the site offers refunds when followers are not delivered by the stated deadline. It accepts cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Buzzoid and Twicsy
Two large US-priced services with near-identical entry prices ($3.49 for 100, $14.99 for 1,000). Buzzoid offers a 30-day refill on its High-Quality tier; Twicsy includes 30-day refills only on its Active and VIP tiers. Both bill in dollars.
What to check before you buy
- Never share your password. A public profile link or username is all any legitimate provider needs.
- Look for gradual delivery. Thousands of followers landing in one hour look unnatural; a drip over hours or days looks like normal growth.
- Read the refill terms. Some drop-off is normal. Check how long replacements are promised and whether you have to ask for them.
- Check the currency and the company. GBP pricing and a named, registered company make problems easier to resolve.
- Start small. Order a small package first and see how it arrives before spending more.
Is buying Instagram followers allowed?
Instagram’s terms do not allow artificially boosting an account’s audience, and Instagram regularly removes accounts it identifies as inauthentic. Bought followers can therefore drop off over time, which is exactly why the refill guarantee matters. Followers alone also do not create engagement: a large follower count with very few likes or comments can lower your engagement rate and look suspicious to brands. If you want to know what reviewers look for, see our guide on how to spot fake followers.
Used sensibly, a modest boost works best as social proof on top of good content, not as a replacement for it.
