Video reviews

Hear it from Kicksta customers

Six customers, in their own words, on what changed once the right people started following them.

NateFreelance photographer

“I even landed a few gigs through Instagram”

Building an Instagram following has been essential for my business, but what really sucked was that it was taking up way too much of my time. … I slowly started gaining new followers that were actually interested in my work.

AlexUp-and-coming influencer

“It has saved me so much time”

It’s hard to stand out with so many amazing creators out there. I mean, my brother’s dog has an Instagram account. … It has made growing so much easier.

JoshFitness instructor

“It did all the heavy lifting for me”

Instagram is where I usually connect with clients and share my workout tips, but growing my audience has been an absolute pain. … It actually helped me reach out to people that were genuinely interested in health and fitness.

NatalieContent creator

“People have actually started noticing and reacting to my posts”

I’ve been trying to hit my 5k mark for ages despite pouring tons of effort into my content. … With their help, my numbers have gone up.

CambriaTravel creator

“Kicksta has proved to be the most effective”

All you need to do is select the audience that you want to attract and let their team do the rest. … I get to travel and create content without the constant pressure of handling my Instagram account every single day.

MorganBusiness owner

“Kicksta has brought actual relevant followers to my business”

I simply did not have the time, with everything, to spend days liking, following and engaging to gain the followers that I needed on Instagram. … In a couple of months, without any paid promotions or giveaways, Kicksta helped me grow my follower count by nearly a thousand.

Instagram growth questions, answered

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Monthly and quarterly plans start with a 7-day free trial. Yearly plans start paid.

How fast will I get Instagram followers?

Kicksta warms your account up for up to 72 hours, then growth starts. After that, your niche, your content and the sources you pick set the pace. You'll see the numbers in your dashboard every week.

Are the followers real people?

Yes. Every new follower is someone from the audiences you picked who saw your profile and chose to follow you. That's why they like your posts and keep coming back.

How much work is it for me?

A few minutes to set up, then a quick weekly check. You pick the accounts and hashtags and keep posting. Kicksta does the daily work of getting you in front of new people.

Will it work in my niche?

Yes, because you choose who it reaches. Broad niches grow faster, and smaller niches grow slower with followers who engage more.

Can I track my results?

Yes. Your dashboard shows your new followers each week and which source brought each one, so you can see which sources work best.

Do I keep the followers I gain?

Yes. They're people who chose to follow you, so they're yours. Like with any follower, whether they stay comes down to the posts you share.

Does Kicksta need my Instagram password?

Yes. Instagram has no official way for a service to engage on your behalf without it. Kicksta stores it encrypted.

The right people, finally following you

Increase your Instagram followers with people who care about what you post. Pick the accounts your target audience follows, and Kicksta puts you in front of their followers.
