What is an Instagram growth service?
An Instagram growth service puts your profile in front of people likely to follow you. The best Instagram growth service brings real fans, and bad ones sell empty numbers. Kicksta helps you build an audience that fits your goals.

VerdictA number, not an audienceReal, but slow and hands-on
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.
47,500+customers have paid for Kicksta
“I mainly wanted another source of leads besides my website. Kicksta helped me get in front of people who were actually interested in my niche, and my follower count kept growing every week. Nothing crazy overnight, just steady growth.”

Put your products in front of ready shoppers
Grow with shoppers who already follow brands like yours, and send more of them from your profile to your store.
Enter your Instagram username, no password needed. Add targets (accounts and hashtags your ideal followers follow), set audience filters and train Kicksta with AI training. Real, targeted followers from that audience then follow you.
Can I hire someone to grow my Instagram?
Yes. An agency runs your content and growth for a monthly retainer. A growth service like Kicksta does the audience-building: you pick the targets, and it brings you followers from that audience.
Are the followers real?
Yes: real people from the followers of the accounts and hashtags you pick, who are into your content and could become customers.
How fast will I grow, and how many followers will I get?
There is no fixed number: your niche, your content and the targets you pick set the pace. Your dashboard shows new followers as they arrive.
Is Kicksta a legitimate Instagram growth service?
Yes. Kicksta has grown Instagram accounts since 2018, and more than 47,500 creators and brands have grown with it. Read Kicksta reviews, or see how growth services compare above.
Is Kicksta safe, or can it get my account banned?
Fake and bought followers get accounts flagged. Kicksta needs only your username, and doesn't follow, like or DM from your account.
Can I change my target audience?
Yes, anytime from your dashboard, so your followers keep matching where your account is going.
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.
How much does Kicksta cost?
Growth is $69 a month ($49 billed quarterly, $39 yearly) and Advanced $129 ($99, $79). Monthly and quarterly plans start with a 3-day free trial.
Is there a free trial, and how do I cancel?
Yes, 3 days on monthly and quarterly plans (card required; yearly plans start paid). Cancel from the Subscription page in your dashboard before it ends and you pay nothing.

Add the accounts and hashtags your audience already follows, and Kicksta brings you real, targeted followers from that audience.
