Short answer: for Instagram and TikTok followers, SocFlare is the lowest-priced of the four sites we could check, at $9.99 for 1,000 Instagram followers and $14.99 for 1,000 TikTok followers (Standard), with free refills and no time limit. UseViral and Twicsy cover more platforms, and Buzzoid's prices couldn't be checked, so confirm them on its site.
UseViral, Buzzoid and Twicsy are three of the names people most often compare when they look for followers, likes or views. This page puts them next to SocFlare on the points that actually change what you pay and what you get: price, delivery speed, refill terms, payment options and platform coverage. We are SocFlare, so we've tried to keep it factual. Every competitor figure below comes from that company's own public pages, checked on September 24, 2026, and where we couldn't check something we say so instead of guessing.

Price: who is cheapest?
On the packages we could compare directly, SocFlare comes out lowest. SocFlare's full follower price list is public and fixed:
| Package | TikTok Standard | TikTok VIP Ultra | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 followers | $2.99 | $3.49 | $4.99 |
| 500 followers | $5.49 | $9.99 | $15.99 |
| 1,000 followers | $9.99 | $14.99 | $24.99 |
| 5,000 followers | $32.99 | $39.99 | $59.99 |
| 20,000 followers | $99.99 | $99.99 | $143.99 |
For TikTok, UseViral's follower page listed 100 followers at $5.99, 500 at $18.99 and 1,000 at $29.99 (shown as a sale price against $37.49). Twicsy's TikTok followers start at $5.99 for 100, and its Instagram followers at $3.49 for 100; larger Twicsy packages are shown as discounts rather than fixed prices, so check the live total on its page. SocFlare's TikTok Standard 1,000 pack is $14.99, about half of UseViral's current 1,000 price.
Price isn't the only number that matters. A cheap package that drops and isn't refilled costs more per follower you keep. That's why refill terms are next.
Refills and guarantees
Every provider in this space loses some followers over time, because Instagram and TikTok regularly remove accounts they consider inactive or inauthentic. What differs is how long the seller promises to fix it.
- SocFlare: if your count drops below the amount delivered, SocFlare tops it up for free, with no time limit. On TikTok VIP Ultra the refill is automatic; on other packages you email support@socflare.com with your order number and it's refilled free.
- UseViral: a free refill if followers drop within 30 days of delivery, and its homepage says refills come with "no questions, no forms". It also lists a lifetime refill as an optional paid add-on.
- Twicsy: its plan cards list 30-day refills on the Active tier, while its FAQ and TikTok page describe a six-month retention guarantee and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Ask which applies to your package before you pay.
- Buzzoid: we couldn't load its pages to confirm current terms. Read its guarantee page directly.
For the reasons behind drops, see why Instagram followers drop after you buy them.
Delivery speed
SocFlare starts processing right after payment and the first followers usually arrive within minutes. UseViral says most orders start within about 30 minutes and are drip-fed over roughly 24 hours, which some buyers prefer because the growth looks gradual. Twicsy advertises instant delivery. Whichever you choose, you can follow a SocFlare order on the order status page with your order number and username or email.
Payment options
SocFlare's checkout runs on Stripe and accepts card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal, with no account needed. UseViral lists major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto. Twicsy mentions PayPal, cards and crypto. If you want to pay by crypto, UseViral and Twicsy are the better fit; SocFlare doesn't accept it.

Where the others are genuinely better
- More platforms. UseViral covers 12 platforms and 55 services, including YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Spotify. Twicsy adds YouTube. SocFlare only does Instagram and TikTok.
- More services. UseViral and Twicsy sell comments; UseViral also sells shares, LIVE views and monthly subscriptions. SocFlare sells followers, likes and views, plus bundles of the three.

- Crypto payments at UseViral and Twicsy.
Where SocFlare stands out
- The lowest prices of the four on the Instagram and TikTok follower packages we could compare.
- A refill guarantee with no time limit on every package, not just a premium tier.
- Two clearly explained TikTok tiers: Standard vs VIP Ultra.
- 10 free Instagram followers to test delivery, no card needed, once per 24 hours per username.
