Robolike is still running. It's an Instagram auto-liker that likes other people's posts from your account, by hashtag, to draw them to your profile. It ran as a hosted service at $7.77 a month from at least 2017 to 2020. Then it went quiet for a few years and came back in 2025 as a desktop app you run on your own computer. On October 23, 2026, Google showed its site as "RoboLike: Free Instagram Auto Liker," with "© 2026 RoboLike" at the bottom.

Quick Answer: Robolike is still running in 2026, as a downloadable app that works while your computer stays on. Its site calls it "safe" and "local." Instagram's own rules point the other way: since 2018 it has removed inauthentic likes "from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity." If you want likes on your own posts without an app logging in, our free tier gives 12 free Instagram likes to try.

"Instagram auto liker" gets about 12,100 Google searches a month, by Google's Keyword Planner on October 23, 2026.

What did Robolike do in its hosted years?

It liked posts for you. "Our software likes Instagram photos and Tweets on the behalf of your account," its homepage said in April 2017. "For Instagram Robolike likes about 60 photos per hour," it added, at $7.77 a month after a 3-day free trial, with a Twitter plan at $9.99.

By November 2020 it pitched longevity. "Most auto likers come and go but Robolike has been around for 6 years," the page said. It claimed it had "helped hundreds of thousands of users like over 10 billion photos to date," still at $7.77 a month.

What happened after 2020?

There's a gap after that: the archive shows redirects and missing pages from April 2021 into 2023. In March 2024 the homepage announced an "AI Social Booster" for Twitter and Instagram, marked "Coming Soon."

By May 2025 it was back as a download. "Connect your Instagram account and let RoboLike do the work," the page said, with a note to "Run On Your Machine" and "just keep your computer on." Its pricing page in December 2025 listed a Basic plan at a "$19 /month" founder price, down from a struck "$29." By July 2026 the homepage led with "Free Instagram Auto Liker" and a "Download Free" button.

Is Robolike safe for your account?

Its own FAQ answers "Yes!" and says "your login credentials are never sent to our servers," because the app runs on your computer. That's a point about where your password sits. The likes still go out from your account.

Instagram's rules cover that. In November 2018 it said it would begin "removing inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity." It also said it would "ask them to secure their account by changing their password." Its Community Guidelines ask people to stay "spam-free by not artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares," as Google showed them on October 23, 2026.

How is Robolike different from what we sell?

Robolike sends likes out from your account. We don't touch your account at all.

Likes on your own posts, automatically. Our Autopilot watches the accounts you name and orders likes and views on each new post, from $14.99 a month on October 23, 2026. It doesn't ask for your password.

Or per order. Instagram likes cost $0.19 per 1,000 on our price list of October 23, 2026.

A free tier to try first. Claim 12 free Instagram likes or 100 free Instagram views on a public post on the free page. A short Cloudflare check runs before each claim.

We sell followers, likes and views, so read this as a seller's pitch. Real human support answers 24/7.
