i experimented with the adding friends… i experimented with the adding friends (follow unfollow) method of gaining followers. in an hours worth of work on my own i gained 100+ in a few days. real interactive people who appreciate my artwork. nothing scammy. with Socialupgrade, in a week, paying for their most expensive service, i gained 27 followers. thats it. when i contacted their team they made excuses and said the accounts i gave them to target were private. they are most definitely not. i can see that with my own two eyes do not waste your money. this is a scam and their excuses were alarming as they were untrue (the accounts were not private). highly unprofessional. you can do more in 15 minutes of work then paying for their $100 a month service

Fast followers but not great quality ones I have gained a good amount of followers quickly but many seem to be from a lot of foreign countries that may not be the most beneficial target for my brand. I wish there was a way to get better targeted demographics. Some of the profiles that follow me also look like spam which I feel is a give away of me buying my followers.

Been trying to get in touch with this… Been trying to get in touch with this company ALL week - no responses to any of my emails. They were targeting a market that is highly questionable and not in line with my business. Requested for a refund, still no response. About ready to go to a lawyer. Still NO refund - they’ll be hearing from my lawyer by tomorrow if I don’t receive one today.

Good but missing features To start, I definitely feel like social upgrade has helped quite a bit. What I really wish I got got out of social upgrade was a more customizable experience. I wish I was able to create my own account, in which I was able to go in and change out my own target hashtags and related accounts. Also a feature maybe to target more of a specific age range.

Avoid avoid avoid Avoid avoid avoid! Not only did I not gain any real followers but upon cancelling their subscription their service has ruined my brands Instagram account permanently with a constant influx of fake bot accounts coming every few days. I go from 1500 fake followers down to 1000 then suddenly back up again on repeat. This is happening after they emailed suggesting I let them 'send 1000 inactive followers so people are more likely to follow me when they see my account' - I never replied to this email but they went ahead and done it anyway and now my account is messed up and full of bots.
