Boostgram Alternative 2026: Boostgram Is Closed, 5 Tools Compared

What Happened to Boostgram

Boostgram was a cloud-based Instagram growth service. Its archived site promised "real organic engagement on your Instagram account in just three clicks", with audience, gender and location targeting, post scheduling and a 3-day free trial. Payments were monthly and "non-refundable". On October 20, 2020, Facebook announced a lawsuit against two people behind Boostgram, saying it "used a network of bots to automate the delivery of likes and followers". By November 1, 2020, the site showed only a closure notice.

5 Boostgram Alternatives in 2026

No single tool replaces Boostgram one-to-one. Pick the tool for the job: likes, following, DMs or scheduling.

AutoGram (our product) only likes posts; it never follows, unfollows, comments or sends DMs. You pick an audience by hashtag or by the followers of accounts you follow, and AutoGram likes their posts so they see your profile. It logs in with your Instagram password, stored encrypted, and is not authorized by Meta. Pricing: Personal €3.99/month (1 account, up to 150 likes/day); Professional €19.99/month (up to 5 accounts, up to 500 likes/day). Billed monthly, cancel anytime, no free plan or trial.
