What does an Instagram growth service do?

An Instagram growth service (or growth tool) grows an account's followers for a fee. How it does that is what matters. Some engage with real people who fit your account until they follow you, some run untargeted spam bots, and some sell followers by the package.

The first kind gives you an audience. The other two give you a number. The difference shows later, in who likes your posts and who reads your Stories.

The three kinds of Instagram growth service

They are sold with similar words, so look at how each one works.

What Flock does
Targeted engagement
How it works
Automation follows the real people behind the accounts and hashtags you choose, likes their posts and later unfollows. Some of them look at your account and follow you back, and on IG Adventurer each new follower can get a welcome DM.
What you get
Real followers who fit your account, built up over weeks.
What to watch
Slower than buying a number, and results depend on your targets and your content. Monthly numbers are estimates. It acts on your account, so ask how it signs in and keeps the account safe (see the checks below).
Untargeted spam bots
How it works
Scripts follow, like and post generic comments on whoever they find, with no audience chosen and no filters.
What you get
Activity on your account, rarely from people who care about it.
What to watch
Generic comments and follows that read as spam to the people who see them.
Bought followers
How it works
You pay for a quantity, and accounts are added to your username as a package.
What you get
A bigger count, fast.
What to watch
Accounts that never chose you, with little real engagement. Counts can drop, which is why some sellers offer refills.

What to check before you pay

Ask every service these questions, Flock included. Open one to see what a good answer looks like and how Flock answers it.

Are the followers real people who chose to follow you?
What to look for
The service explains where its followers come from and why they follow you.
Flock's answer
Yes. Flock engages only real, active accounts that match your niche, and every new follower is a person who chose to follow you. No bots, no fake followers.
Can you choose who it reaches?
What to look for
You can aim it at your audience and keep everyone else out.
Flock's answer
You choose the accounts and hashtags your audience follows, then narrow it with advanced filters, a gender filter, a whitelist and a blacklist.
How does it sign in to your account, and how is the account protected?
What to look for
A clear answer on how it connects and what it does to keep the account safe.
Flock's answer
Flock signs in through secure multi-proxy login, and account safety is its first priority.
Can you try it before you pay?
What to look for
A trial on your own account, with the terms stated up front.
Flock's answer
Every monthly plan starts with a free 3-day trial. Yearly plans have no trial.
Can you cancel anytime?
What to look for
No contract and no minimum term.
Flock's answer
Yes. There is no contract and no minimum, and the service runs to the end of the period you paid for.
Does it promise a number?
What to look for
Growth depends on your niche and content, so ask how any promised number is reached.
Flock's answer
Flock publishes an estimate for each plan and never guarantees it.
Can you reach a person when you need one?
What to look for
Support you can actually reach, and a way to see what is working.
Flock's answer
Live support 24/7 on both plans, real-time growth analytics and a weekly Instagram audit.
