Famoid vs InstaBoostNow: What a UK Buyer Should Compare
Famoid sells Instagram followers in US dollars, from a business whose own footer gives addresses in Dubai and the United States. We sell them in pounds, through PayPal, to buyers in Britain. That single difference is the one most comparison pages skip, and it changes what actually leaves your account. Everything written here about Famoid was read from their own live pages on 19 August 2026, with their prices printed exactly as they appear. Here is what is worth putting side by side before you order.

The short version
Both services do a similar job. You hand over a username, you pay, followers arrive on a public profile. Only three differences really matter to a British buyer: the currency your card is charged in, whether the refund policy page agrees with the sales page, and whether the headline price is one you can actually buy.
Famoid charges in US dollars only. Every page of theirs we fetched on 19 August 2026 carried a dollar sign, with no pound price anywhere and no currency switcher. They publish in six languages, none aimed at Britain. So a UK card gets a dollar transaction, and your bank sets the rate.
We charge in pounds through PayPal, ask for a username and never a password, and pace delivery rather than dumping an order in one burst. The price table above is generated from the same figures the checkout charges from, so the number you read is the number you pay.
The same order, priced in pounds
One thousand followers, username only, paid through PayPal in sterling, so there is no exchange rate to find out about afterwards. The price is on the table above.
Dollars on a UK card: the cost that is not on the page
A dollar price is not a fixed pound price. Between the number on the screen and the line on your statement sit two things the seller does not control: the rate your bank converts at on the day, and the non-sterling fee many UK cards add whenever the currency is not sterling.
That is why a dollar figure and a pound figure cannot simply be lined up and compared, even when the numerals look close. The dollar figure is a starting point. The pound figure on your statement is the real one, and you only learn what it was after the money has gone.
Paying in pounds removes the guesswork. The amount you agree to is the amount that leaves your account, on the day you agree to it. On a first order with a service you have never used, knowing the exact cost in advance is worth more than a headline that looks slightly lower elsewhere.
Test us before you commit properly
A small order tells you whether delivery starts, how it is paced, and whether the count holds a fortnight later. None of that can be learned from a sales page.
What Famoid charges, as printed on their own page
These came from Famoid's live follower price table on 19 August 2026, in US dollars, exactly as printed. We have not converted them, because converting would mean inventing an exchange rate and a card fee we cannot know for your bank.
The struck-through prices deserve a moment. Their 1,000-follower pack prints USD 15.95 beside a crossed-out USD 39.50 and a line reading "You Save USD 23.55". We cannot say whether anyone was ever charged USD 39.50. We can say the higher figure sat on the page on the day we looked.
Our own prices are in the table at the top of this page, in pounds. The fair comparison is to work out what your bank would take for the dollar amount, then set that against the sterling figure. Comparing numerals across two currencies tells you very little.
- 100 followers — USD 3.95
- 500 followers — USD 8.95
- 1,000 followers — USD 15.95, shown against a struck-through USD 39.50
- 5,000 followers — USD 69.95
- 10,000 followers — USD 99.95
If the quiet posts are the real problem
A growing follower count with nothing happening underneath reads oddly to a visitor. Likes on recent posts are the direct fix and cost less than followers.
Two numbers on their page that do not line up
This is a check anyone can run, and it took about ten minutes. Famoid's homepage title, the text shown in the browser tab, reads "Only USD 0.39". We went through their published price table looking for a package at that price and did not find one. We could not work out what it refers to.
Their follower page also says "From USD 2.95" and "Our smallest plan starts at USD 2.95", and the machine-readable product data behind the page declares a low price of 2.95. But USD 2.95 turns out to be an add-on sold inside another product's checkout, not a pack you can buy on its own. The smallest standalone pack is USD 3.95.
Neither is a scandal, and we are not presenting them as one. They are the ordinary gap between a headline and a checkout. Spotting that gap is the most useful habit you can bring to this market, because a price you cannot reach at the till is not really a price.
Refills and refunds: read the policy page, not the sales page
Famoid's follower page makes a generous promise. In their words: "30-day refill guarantee on any drops", and "We provide a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee to protect our customers." On its own, that reads like a full safety net.
Their formal refund policy page, on the same site and read the same day, says something else. In its words: "We do not issue refunds for digital products once the order is confirmed and the product is sent." The words refill, 30-day and money-back do not appear on that page at all.
Which of those binds them is a matter between Famoid and its customers, and we will not guess. What we will say is that the gap is exactly why the policy page is the page to read on any service, ours included. Every order here carries a refill window, its length shown at checkout.
The thing Famoid gets right, and it is the important one
Famoid does not ask for your Instagram password. They say so repeatedly, and we did more than take their word for it: their checkout code was searched for password fields, and every one found belongs to a Famoid account of their own. None is an Instagram credential.
That matters more than any price on this page. A password lets somebody post as you, read your messages and lock you out of your own account. Nothing about sending followers to a public profile requires it, which is why being asked for one is the clearest warning sign in this market.
We ask for a username and nothing else, and we never ask for a two-factor code either. If a service asks for either, close the tab, whatever else the page promises. On this test both of us pass, and you should expect that from anyone you buy from.
- A username is enough to deliver followers to a public profile.
- A password is never needed, and neither is a two-factor code.
- Being asked for either is a reason to stop, not a detail to shrug at.
What ordering here looks like, and how to check anyone else
You choose a service and a quantity from the table above, type your Instagram username, and pay through PayPal in pounds. There is no account to create and no card number for us to hold, because PayPal handles the payment and its dispute process sits behind it.
Your account needs to be public while the order is delivered, since a private profile cannot receive follows from accounts it has not approved. Delivery is paced rather than dropped in one go. Instagram periodically removes accounts it judges inauthentic, so some settling can happen to anyone, and the refill window shown at checkout covers a slide inside that period.
Beyond that, four questions sort out most of this market before you spend anything. Run them against Famoid, against us, and against whoever else is on your shortlist. Famoid's footer names Dubai and the United States; we will not make a claim about paperwork, only point at the practical part you can use.
- Which currency will my card actually be charged in?
- Does the refund policy page say the same thing as the sales page?
- Is a password or a two-factor code asked for at any point?
- Is there a payment route with a real dispute process behind it?
Questions people ask before ordering
Is Famoid still trading?
Yes. On 19 August 2026 their homepage, follower product page, refund policy and a live order page all loaded normally, with prices showing and a working checkout. There was no closure or maintenance notice on any page we read.
Does Famoid charge in pounds?
No. Every price we found on their site is in US dollars, with no currency switcher. A UK card is charged in dollars, so your bank sets the exchange rate and may add a non-sterling fee. We charge in pounds, so the figure you agree to is the figure that leaves your account.
Does Famoid accept PayPal?
Their own FAQ says they do, alongside cards and other methods. To be straight with you: PayPal appeared in their marketing copy but not in the checkout code we could fetch, so treat it as claimed rather than confirmed. Payment here is PayPal in pounds on every order.
Does Famoid ask for your Instagram password?
No, and they are clear about it. We checked their checkout code as well and found no Instagram credential field; the only passwords involved are for a Famoid site account of their own. We ask for a username and nothing else.
Why do Famoid's refund promises differ from page to page?
We cannot tell you why, only what each page says. Their follower page promises a 30-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked. Their formal refund policy page says refunds are not issued for digital products once an order is confirmed and sent. Both were read on the same day.
How do the prices compare?
Take their dollar figure, work out what your own bank would charge you for it including any non-sterling fee, then set that against the sterling price in the table at the top of this page. Comparing raw numerals across two currencies tells you nothing useful.
What happens if some of the followers drop off?
Instagram periodically clears out accounts it judges inauthentic, so a little settling can happen to any profile, bought followers or not. Every order here carries a refill window, shown at checkout, which tops the shortfall back up inside that period. Keep a screenshot of the count on the day you order.
