SimplyGram Alternatives (2026): 9 Options Compared

SimplyGram is a weekly Instagram growth subscription. On October 23, 2026, it charged $69, $99 or $199 a week after a 3-day free trial. At four weeks a month, that's $276 to $796. Since May 2026 it says micro-influencers recommend your profile, and until spring 2026 its homepage described dozens of accounts that DM strangers for you. Its alternatives fall into three groups: monthly plans that run by themselves, shops that sell per order, and HCLOUT, which sells both ways.

Quick Answer: If you want a plan like SimplyGram's, Outfame ($49 a month), Plixi ($59), UpGrow ($69 for the first month) and Kicksta ($69) all bill monthly, and Kicksta needs your Instagram login. If you'd rather buy once, Buzzoid, Twicsy and iDigic each listed 1,000 followers at $14.99 in October 2026, and ours cost $2.88 per 1,000 on October 23. Cancel SimplyGram by form or email at least a day before your next billing date.

"Simplygram" gets about 140 Google searches a month, by Google's Keyword Planner on October 23, 2026.

What does SimplyGram charge, and how does it work now?

Its three plans cost $69, $99 and $199 a week, with 10, 20 or 50 micro-influencers promoting your profile, by its homepage. The trial renews "automatically at the stated weekly rate," its terms say. You won't need a password: "No profile logins or passwords required," the homepage reads.

Its method changed this year. Its homepage of February 6, 2026, described "the Mother/Child method," with 25 to 100 accounts set up for you that would "DM hundreds of people per day," by that page. By May 16, its headline read "Grow Your Instagram Through Our Network of Micro Influencers," as the Internet Archive shows. Instagram's Community Guidelines ask people to avoid "repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent," as Google shows them.

The outside record is thin. ScamAdviser's report reads "Caution Recommended" and says "This website seems to prevent credit card chargebacks," though it was last updated a year before our read. SmartCustomer (Sitejabber) shows no reviews. Our SimplyGram review has the full timeline.

Monthly plans like SimplyGram's

These run by themselves once you sign up, as SimplyGram does. Read each refund line closely, because they're narrower than they look.

Outfame and UpGrow. Outfame charged $49 a month and UpGrow $69 for the first month, on October 22, 2026. Both refund only when there's no "net" growth. "Full refund if no net growth in 30 days," Outfame's page says. UpGrow offers a "full refund if there's no net-positive growth after 7 days," by its own page. Net growth means you've got more followers at the end than at the start, so a small gain ends either guarantee.

Plixi. It cost $59 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly, on October 23, 2026. Its homepage says "No bots, no fake followers, no passwords," and setup starts "After connecting your Instagram account," by its pricing page. "Guaranteed growth within 7 days or we'll give you a refund," its guarantee reads. Plixi's own SimplyGram page claims "93% of SimplyGram users switch to Plixi after the first month," with no source. Our Plixi review has more.

Kicksta. Growth costs $69 a month and Advanced $129, or $39 and $79 a month paid yearly. It's built to act from your account. "Kicksta follows and engages with the people behind them," its pricing page says. Its targeted growth "Needs your Instagram login," by the same page. In 2018, Instagram said it would begin "removing inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity," and Kicksta's method is the kind it described. Kicksta's refunds are "reviewed on a case-by-case basis," and our Kicksta review covers its terms.

Path Social. Its prices aren't public; they sit behind sign-up. Kicksta's comparison of October 2025 lists Path Social's Core plan at "$49/month" and Elite at "$69/month," though Kicksta sells a rival plan. "No bots. Just real, engaged growth through personalized AI targeting," its homepage promised in September 2026, as archived. SmartCustomer shows 4.9 from 59 reviews on a page Path Social has claimed. Our Kicksta vs Path Social page compares the two.

Shops that sell per order

If you'd rather pay once, with nothing renewing, these shops sell followers by the package. In October 2026 all three listed 1,000 Instagram followers at $14.99 on the cheapest tier.

Buzzoid. Its followers start "as cheap as $3.49," by its page in Google's results, with a free refill for 30 days. "Refunds are subject to our Terms of Service and are not guaranteed," its FAQ says. ScamAdviser's label for buzzoid.com is "Very Likely Unsafe," as of our read. Our Buzzoid review has the rest.

Twicsy. It has the same price ladder as Buzzoid, from 100 followers at $3.49 to 1,000 at $14.99. Its terms allow a refund request "within the first 30 calendar days from the date of the initial purchase," with one big exclusion. "Services that have been fully delivered and confirmed" don't qualify. "If followers from your order drop during your refill period, we top them back up for free," it says of drops. See our Twicsy review.

iDigic. It sells 1,000 followers for $14.99, with "a 30-day replacement warranty on our followers," by its refill page. Its refunds are narrow. "No partial or full refunds will be issued for service interruption, failure or anything else unless your order does not get delivered at all," its policy says. Our iDigic review reads its terms.
