Boostero Tests Seven SMM Panels for Instagram Followers
News related to:Boostero · 2 min read
On September 9, 2026, Boostero placed an order for 1,000 Instagram followers across seven different SMM (Social Media Marketing) panels, each receiving a single order. The objective was to compare the speed and retention of followers delivered by each panel. The results, published by Boostero, revealed that while the fastest delivery did not necessarily correlate with the most retained followers, price did not always predict performance either.
Boostero's service completed the order in just 27 minutes, while SMMWiz's service took 33 minutes. By October 7, the retention rates varied significantly. MoreThanPanel's service, which delivered 98.9 percent of the followers, held the highest share, followed closely by SMMWiz at 97.7 percent and PRM4U at 79.6 percent. These three services outperformed Boostero's 73.7 percent retention rate.
The lowest retention rates were observed with the three services that had the lowest prices. YoYo Media's service, listed at 2.0305 USD per 1,000 followers, retained only 29.1 percent of its delivery by October 7. JustAnotherPanel's service, at 2.079 USD per 1,000 followers, retained 18.9 percent, and Peakerr's service, at 2.2914 USD per 1,000 followers, retained just 1.3 percent. Interestingly, Boostero's service, which was the fourth lowest in price at 2.43 USD per 1,000 followers, managed to retain more followers than the three lowest-priced services.
The speed of delivery did not always match the stated start times. PRM4U's listing claimed a delivery time of 0 to 5 minutes, but the first follower arrived after 312 minutes. Peakerr's listing stated instant delivery, but the first follower arrived after 255 minutes. Boostero's listing gave a range of 0 to 60 minutes, but the first follower arrived after just 3 minutes.
On October 7, MoreThanPanel's account still held most of its delivery, with none of its 20 most recent followers having any activity on their profiles. These followers had no posts or bios, but 16 of them had profile photos. This suggests that while the followers were delivered, their engagement levels were minimal.
