Product, plans and pricing

What kind of results can I expect from Followyst?

You can expect even +10,000 followers within a year of modest Followyst use, given you regularly post good content people enjoy. We did not make the number up, it is the actual gain reported by our customers!

Agencies and brands will look for IGs that boast high engagement rate (esp. comments). By using Followyst, your engagement rate, reach and overall account quality will improve. As a result, depending on your niche, you can expect better sponsorship deals from brands.

Will Followyst work for my industry?

Techniques Followyst uses (e.g. auto-liking posts) are highly effective for any industry on Instagram. More so, based on our experience and what we have heard from our customers, the techniques can be applied in any niche and for any type of content.

What is your approach to privacy?

Followyst does not access apps, data nor other features on your smartphone that are not relevant to its purpose. The only thing our product does is automating Instagram on your device.

The Android Accessibility Service used by Followyst is only active whilst the automation is running. Pausing or stopping automation stops the service, so no information is collected.

The permission to display over other Android apps is necessary to show Followyst controls whilst automation is running. You can conveniently hide the controls once you are done with your automation session.

If you feel like it, you can revoke the permissions at any time and re-enable them before an automation session.

How safe is my Instagram account?

We do not ask for, nor store your Instagram password. You have to manually log in to Instagram on your smartphone for Followyst to work.

What does "free updates" include?

We strive to improve Followyst as a product by fixing issues and developing new features. Bugfixes we be always free and delivered in a timely manner, regardless of the chosen plan.

We will also occasionally add new features to existing plans for free. We will let you know when that happens, either via e-mail or an in-app alert.

Simply update the Followyst app on your smartphone to get the latest bugfixes and new features.

How does support work?

We strive to provide the best customer experience on the planet. That is why every single question or request for help is responded to within hours – a day at most – by one of Followyst co-founders.

We prioritize responses (and bugfixes) based on the customer's subscription plan.For example, customers on the Agency can expect their requests to be addressed the quickest.

How do you track my affiliate conversions?

The tracking is done through an affiliate link of your choosing and a browser cookie. In an essence, once a potential customer clicks on your affiliate link and visits our website, we set a unique cookie that lasts 45 days. A subsequent purchase made within those 45 days will count as a successful conversion.

We only award commissions on completed orders. In particular, customers referred by you have to stay a paying customers at least 30 days after initial purchase. Refunds or cancellations before the 30 days pass void your commission.
