Boostero ran this test on its own panel and on six competitors: one order of 1,000 Instagram followers on each panel, each sent to an account no other panel delivered to, and each account counted again 5, 12 and 28 days after the order. So every figure below describes one measured order per panel, not a statistic.
There is no ranking here. The tables are the result: what each panel charged, how fast it delivered, how much of the order was still on the account 5, 12 and 28 days later, what 20 of the accounts that followed looked like, and how long support took to answer one question. Where another panel did better than ours, a section below says so. The refill requests we made during the same test, one per panel, have their own post on what refill means on an SMM panel.
How the Seven Orders Were Placed and Counted
On 9 September 2026 we bought 1,000 Instagram followers from each of seven panels, Boostero, JustAnotherPanel, MoreThanPanel, Peakerr, PRM4U, SMMWiz and YoYo Media, and sent every order to a test account of its own, so no account received followers from two panels. The rule for picking the service was the same everywhere: Instagram followers with a refill option, at the listed price nearest 3.00 USD per 1,000. PRM4U and MoreThanPanel offered nothing like that near the price, so the nearest service of any kind stood in, as listed before we ordered: PRM4U's 4627 at 4.00 USD, sold with no refill, and MoreThanPanel's 10036 at 3.69 USD, sold as non drop. The other five named a refill period in the listing before we ordered: Boostero's 5255 at 2.43 USD, JustAnotherPanel's 10142 at 2.079 USD, Peakerr's 36642 at 2.2914 USD, SMMWiz's 21386 at 3.00 USD and YoYo Media's 13599 at 2.0305 USD.
We counted followers as Instagram displayed them on each account: before the order, when it completed, on 14 September (day 5), on 21 September (day 12) and on 7 October (day 28), with a screenshot of every count. Five accounts already had followers when their order went in, Boostero's 56, MoreThanPanel's 60, Peakerr's 6, PRM4U's 329 and YoYo Media's 1, and every figure below has them taken out. After the 21 September count we filed one refill request per panel, so the 7 October figures include whatever a refill added. Times were recorded to the minute.
Two more checks ran alongside. On 7 October we opened the 20 most recent followers on each account, all of which arrived after the order, and counted how many had a profile photo, at least one post and a bio. On the three accounts whose count rose between 21 September and 7 October, MoreThanPanel's, Peakerr's and SMMWiz's, those 20 arrived after the 21 September count; on the other four, the counts cannot show when they arrived. And before ordering, on 7 September (8 September for YoYo Media), we sent each panel's support the same question, "Which of your Instagram follower services has the lowest drop rate?", and timed how long a person took to reply.
The Results
Every row below is one order placed on 9 September 2026, named by panel and service ID. Five panels delivered more than the 1,000 ordered, from 1,040 (MoreThanPanel, 10036) to 1,335 (Peakerr, 36642), and two delivered fewer, 963 (YoYo Media, 13599) and 878 (PRM4U, 4627), so what stayed is shown two ways. Retention divides what stayed by what each panel delivered, which flatters a panel that delivered fewer than 1,000, and still there counts what stayed against the 1,000 ordered, which flatters a panel that delivered more.
Price and delivery
| Panel, service | Price per 1,000 (USD, listed before the 9 Sep orders) | Minutes to first follower | Minutes to completion | Delivered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boostero, 5255 | 2.43 | 3 | 27 | 1,310 |
| JustAnotherPanel, 10142 | 2.079 | 69 | 295 | 1,222 |
| MoreThanPanel, 10036 | 3.69 | 1,393 | 1,441 | 1,040 |
| Peakerr, 36642 | 2.2914 | 255 | 385 | 1,335 |
| PRM4U, 4627 | 4.00 | 312 | 479 | 878 |
| SMMWiz, 21386 | 3.00 | 8 | 33 | 1,238 |
| YoYo Media, 13599 | 2.0305 | 15 | 98 | 963 |
What stayed
| Panel, service | Retention, 14 Sep (day 5) | Retention, 21 Sep (day 12) | Retention, 7 Oct (day 28, after refill request) | Still there, against 1,000 ordered, 21 Sep | Still there, against 1,000 ordered, 7 Oct (after refill request) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boostero, 5255 | 90.8% | 78.9% | 73.7% | 1,033 | 965 |
| JustAnotherPanel, 10142 | 27.1% | 18.9% | 11.4% | 231 | 139 |
| MoreThanPanel, 10036 | 86.3% | 82.7% | 98.9% | 860 | 1,029 |
| Peakerr, 36642 | 1.9% | 1.3% | 3.0% | 18 | 40 |
| PRM4U, 4627 | 94.0% | 90.2% | 79.6% | 792 | 699 |
| SMMWiz, 21386 | 53.5% | 50.7% | 97.7% | 628 | 1,210 |
| YoYo Media, 13599 | 45.2% | 29.1% | 19.3% | 280 | 186 |
The 7 October columns come after the refill requests of 21 September, so they mix what stayed with what a refill added; PRM4U's request was declined, so its 7 October figures hold no refill. Every panel's request, and what its terms say voids a refill, is in our refill post. Ours, on service 5255: acknowledged in 2.2 hours; the count went from 1,089 on 21 Sep to 1,021 on 7 Oct (56 of those followers were on the account before the order).
The accounts that followed, and support
| Panel, service | Profile photo (of 20, 7 Oct) | At least one post (of 20) | Bio (of 20) | Minutes to a support reply (one question, 7 Sep; YoYo Media 8 Sep) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boostero, 5255 | 18 | 14 | 12 | 6 |
| JustAnotherPanel, 10142 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 167 |
| MoreThanPanel, 10036 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 10 |
| Peakerr, 36642 | 15 | 11 | 0 | 25 |
| PRM4U, 4627 | 17 | 12 | 8 | 385 |
| SMMWiz, 21386 | 10 | 9 | 2 | 3,174 |
| YoYo Media, 13599 | 16 | 10 | 7 | 184 |
The test in 65 seconds:
Where Other Panels Did Better
Three panels listed a lower price than our 2.43 USD per 1,000 before the 9 September orders: YoYo Media's service 13599 at 2.0305 USD, JustAnotherPanel's 10142 at 2.079 USD and Peakerr's 36642 at 2.2914 USD.
PRM4U's account (service 4627, sold with no refill at 4.00 USD) kept a larger share of what its panel delivered than ours on both counts before the refill requests: 94.0 percent on 14 September and 90.2 percent on 21 September, against 90.8 and 78.9 percent on our service 5255. MoreThanPanel's account (service 10036, sold as non drop at 3.69 USD) kept 82.7 percent of what its panel delivered by 21 September, against our 78.9.
After the refill requests, three accounts held a larger share of what their panel delivered than ours on 7 October: MoreThanPanel's (service 10036) at 98.9 percent, SMMWiz's (service 21386) at 97.7 and PRM4U's (service 4627) at 79.6, PRM4U's without any refill, against 73.7 on our service 5255. Counted against the 1,000 ordered, SMMWiz's 1,210 and MoreThanPanel's 1,029 were ahead of our 965 on 7 October, after the refill requests.
Where Boostero Did Better
Our service 5255 was the fastest to start and to finish: the first new follower arrived 3 minutes after the order on 9 September, and the order completed after 27 minutes. SMMWiz's service 21386, ordered the same day, was next, at 8 and 33 minutes.
Counted against the 1,000 ordered, our account (service 5255) had the most followers still there on 21 September, 1,033, because our panel had delivered 1,310; MoreThanPanel's (service 10036) was next with 860.
In the sample opened on 7 October, our account (service 5255) had the most followers with a profile photo (18 of 20), with at least one post (14) and with a bio (12), and PRM4U's (service 4627) was second on all three, at 17, 12 and 8.
And to the one question we sent each panel on 7 September (8 September for YoYo Media), our support replied fastest, after 6 minutes, with MoreThanPanel's next at 10; one question shows how that question went, not how fast a panel usually replies.
What Else the Test Showed
In this test, the three lowest-priced services kept the least
By 21 September, twelve days after the order, the three services with the lowest listed prices had kept the smallest shares of what they delivered: YoYo Media's 13599 (2.0305 USD per 1,000) 29.1 percent, JustAnotherPanel's 10142 (2.079 USD) 18.9 percent and Peakerr's 36642 (2.2914 USD) 1.3 percent. Most of that loss came within five days: on 14 September, Peakerr's account (service 36642) held 25 of the 1,335 followers its panel had delivered, and JustAnotherPanel's (service 10142) 331 of 1,222. Above those three, what stayed did not follow price in order.
Two of the listings that said minutes took hours to start
Before the 9 September orders, every listing but YoYo Media's stated a start time. Listed before the orders, ours (service 5255) stated 0 to 60 minutes and started after 3, JustAnotherPanel's (10142) stated 0 to 2 hours and started after 69 minutes, and MoreThanPanel's (10036) stated 0 to 24 hours and started after 1,393 minutes, about 23 hours. SMMWiz's (21386), listed before the order with an "instant" start, began after 8 minutes. Two started hours later than their listings said before the 9 September orders: PRM4U's service 4627, listed with 0 to 5 minutes, after 312 minutes, and Peakerr's service 36642, listed with an "instant" start, after 255. A stated start time is worth a screenshot before you pay, because it can be checked against the account.
A follower in the count was not always a profile with anything on it
On 7 October, after its refill request, MoreThanPanel's account (service 10036) still held most of what it was delivered, and none of its 20 most recent followers, all of which arrived after 21 September, had a post or a bio, though 16 had a profile photo. Peakerr's sample (service 36642, opened the same day) had posts on 11 accounts and a bio on none. Whether followers stay and what their profiles show are separate questions, and a count on its own answers only the first.
What This Test Cannot Tell You About Instagram Panels
One order per panel is one service, on one account, in one month. Another service on the same panel, or the same service ordered in another month, could keep more or less, so none of these figures describes a panel in general.
The seven services were not sold on the same terms. Two had no refill period in their listing, PRM4U's with no refill at all, and those two were the most expensive in the test.
A panel delivers the follows; what Instagram keeps on an account afterwards is Instagram's call, and nothing here says why any follower left. A profile photo, a post and a bio say what an account shows, not who runs it or why it followed. Followers bought on any panel add to a count, and what Instagram and the people who see the account make of that count is not something a panel sells.
Boostero ran and wrote this test, so read it as one panel's test of itself and six others, to be judged by the method above. And followers were the only service tested: likes, views and comments were not, and our SMM panel for Instagram page lists them.
How to Choose an Instagram Followers Service
The checks that made this test work are ones any buyer can run on a single order:
- Screenshot the listing before you pay: service ID, price per 1,000, stated start time, refill term, minimum and maximum. It is your record of what was promised.
- Order a small quantity first: on the seven services we used, the minimum order listed before the 9 September orders ran from 1 follower (PRM4U, service 4627) to 100 (MoreThanPanel, service 10036).
- Count the account yourself: before the order, when it completes, and 5 and 12 days later, with a dated screenshot each time. A panel's status says what it processed; the account says what stayed.
- Open 20 of the new followers: count profile photos, posts and bios. In this test the panels differed more on posts and bios than on photos.
- Use one panel per account while you measure: with two panels on one account, nobody can tell whose followers left.
- Ask support one question before you deposit: it costs nothing, and it shows how that panel's support answers before you have money on the balance.
If what decides it for you is under Where Other Panels Did Better, one of those panels is the better fit; if it is under Where Boostero Did Better, ours is. On Boostero, each service states the terms that apply to it, including quality grade and refill coverage, before you order, and the followers services are on our Instagram followers page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best SMM panel for Instagram?
This test does not name one. Seven panels were measured on one order of 1,000 Instagram followers each in September 2026, and no panel led on every measure, so which one suits you depends on what you weigh: delivery speed, how much of the order stays, what the accounts look like, price or support. The tables in this post give each figure with its service and date.
How was this Instagram panel test run?
Boostero placed one order of 1,000 Instagram followers on its own panel and on six others on 9 September 2026, each order to a separate account. The service was chosen by one rule on every panel: the followers service with a refill option whose price was nearest 3.00 USD per 1,000, or the nearest service at all where a panel had none close to it. Each account was counted when its order completed and on 14 September, 21 September and 7 October, with a screenshot kept of every count, and on 7 October the 20 most recent followers on each account were opened. Each figure is one measured order per panel, not a statistic.
How is retention counted on an SMM panel order?
Take the count on the day, subtract the followers the account had before the order, and divide by what the panel delivered. Counted that way, our order on service 5255, placed 9 September 2026, had by 21 September kept 78.9 percent of the 1,310 followers it delivered, which is 1,033 followers against the 1,000 ordered. Retention flatters a panel that delivers fewer than ordered, and the count against the order flatters one that delivers more, so this post prints both.
How fast do SMM panels deliver Instagram followers?
In this test, ordered on 9 September 2026, the first new follower arrived between 3 minutes (Boostero, service 5255) and 1,393 minutes (MoreThanPanel, service 10036) after the order, and the same two orders completed after 27 and 1,441 minutes. Two services whose listings, read before the orders, stated a start of 0 to 5 minutes (PRM4U, service 4627) or an "instant" one (Peakerr, service 36642) started after 312 and 255 minutes, so compare the stated start time with your own count.
How can you check the followers an SMM panel delivered?
Count the account before the order, when it completes and again 5 and 12 days later, with a dated screenshot each time, and open 20 of the new followers to see how many have a profile photo, a post and a bio. In this test the panels differed most on posts and bios: none of the 20 accounts opened on 7 October 2026 for MoreThanPanel's service 10036 had either. A photo, a post and a bio say what an account shows, not who runs it.
Do lower-priced Instagram followers drop faster?
The three lowest-priced did, in this test: by 21 September 2026, twelve days after the order, YoYo Media's 13599 (2.0305 USD per 1,000, as listed before the order) had kept 29.1 percent of what it delivered, JustAnotherPanel's 10142 (2.079 USD) 18.9 percent and Peakerr's 36642 (2.2914 USD) 1.3 percent, the three smallest shares. Above those three, what stayed did not follow price in order, and seven orders, one per panel, cannot show that price predicts retention.
