Best Sites to Buy LinkedIn Followers (2026)

By Maddy Osman, Content Marketing Expert · Founder, The Blogsmith · Fact-checked by Georgia Austin · Updated

Six of the twelve growth services we track sell a dedicated LinkedIn followers product; the other six 404, redirect to an Instagram homepage or list no LinkedIn service. We ranked those six on pricing read from each vendor's live product page or checkout on August 23, 2026 and on the refill and refund wording each publishes.

UseViral took the top spot with our editorial rating of 8.8/10. Below are the six verified LinkedIn followers sellers, not a padded top ten, ranked by verified pricing, written remedies and how clearly each one describes a product LinkedIn's own rules prohibit.

  • Every provider rated against the same five published criteria

    Editor's verdict

    UseViral runs the clearest LinkedIn product on this list: a dedicated followers page inside a ten-service LinkedIn menu that also covers connections, company-page employees, endorsements and group members. When we read its Standard ladder on August 23, 2026, 100 followers cost $8.99, 250 cost $19.99, 1,000 cost $76.99 and 5,000 cost $379.99, with a Premium toggle adding 35% that we did not price. Its order card states "Starts in 30 min · drip-fed naturally over 24 hours," and its FAQ says you may choose all-at-once or gradual delivery. The remedy is a refill, not a refund: "Free refill if any drop — within 30 days of delivery." One caution from its own FAQ: it claims your account "will not be blocked or terminated" because it follows LinkedIn's terms, a promise LinkedIn's User Agreement does not support.

Delivery mixes advertised start times and completion windows. Refill terms are as advertised; we have not observed any being honored.

Last full price check: How to read this table

Prices and billing

Starting prices are each vendor's displayed entry price for the package or plan named on its card, last read across every listing on ; a price check places no order. Package sizes differ between vendors and are not shown here, so this is not a like-for-like comparison. A monthly figure is a subscription plan, with its billing period shown beside it. Confirm the package and the checkout price before you buy.

Delivery and refill

Delivery shows the vendor's advertised completion window where it publishes one, otherwise its advertised start time. Refill windows are the vendor's published terms on the date we read them. “Not verified” means we have not recorded that vendor's terms; it does not mean no refill is offered. No refill on this page has been observed being honored.

Editorial scores and evidence

Scores are our editorial assessment on a ten-point scale against the published criteria below: not a customer rating, and not calculated from the figures in this table.

Why you can trust HowSociable

How the ratings on this page work.

We checked twelve vendors for a LinkedIn followers product, excluded the six that have none, and compared the six that do on checkout prices, delivery windows and vendor-advertised remedies, quoted as written rather than restated; we placed no orders and measured nothing. Each rating is an editorial judgement against the 5 published criteria below — not a weighted calculation. A criterion with no evidence behind it stays “Not measured” rather than being estimated, and we withhold a computed score when the evidence is not there. Our review pages use a separate, deterministic Trust Grade system; the buy-page criteria are:

  • Account Quality30%

    Looks at the realness of delivered followers/likes/views: profile pictures, bio completeness, historical posting, location diversity.

  • Delivery Speed20%

    Time from order placement to completion.

  • Retention Rate25%

    Percentage of delivered engagements still present after 30 days.

  • Customer Support15%

    Responsiveness, refill handling, dispute resolution.

  • Pricing10%

    Starting price, value per 1k delivered, payment methods, refund policy.

Where a fact came from is labelled on this page: Vendor terms reviewed (read on the vendor's own site on the date shown); Checkout inspected (the public order form was read — this verifies nothing about delivery, authenticity or persistence); Independent report (a third-party source we cite); Directly measured (an outcome we observed ourselves: our five-service retention pilot, plus any order recorded in a vendor's score breakdown on this page).

Buyer’s guide

What to look for when buying LinkedIn followers

Work through these six checks before buying LinkedIn followers; on a professional network the page type, the Follow-button setting and the remedy window matter more than the price line.

  1. 01

    Decide followers or connections before you compare prices

    They are different products. LinkedIn's help page says "Following someone lets you see their public posts and articles in your feed without sending a connection invitation," while "Connections are members you know and trust" who become first-degree contacts. Four of the six ranked vendors sell connections (UseViral, SidesMedia, SocialPlug, Media Mister); Bulkoid and SocialWick sell followers and likes only.

  2. 02

    Check the page type the vendor accepts

    Media Mister's form has a LinkedIn Profile or LinkedIn Company Page selector; UseViral asks for "your public profile or company-page URL"; Bulkoid's FAQ accepts a personal account or "a link to your business or brand profile." If you are buying for a company page, confirm the vendor names that case before you pay.

  3. 03

    Never hand over your password

    All six ranked sellers state they work from a public URL or username only. LinkedIn's User Agreement lists sharing log-in credentials among its Don'ts, so a seller that asks for a password is asking you to break a rule LinkedIn enforces with account restrictions, on top of the security risk.

  4. 04

    Keep the profile public with the Follow button on

    Media Mister's order note reads "Please make sure the Follow button on your LinkedIn profile is enabled, to receive followers," and its FAQ says a public profile is essential. SocialWick's FAQ lists a public account, a correct URL and an unchanged username among the conditions for delivery. A private or renamed profile mid-order is the most common way to lose an order with no remedy.

  5. 05

    Read the remedy window, not the headline

    Refill windows on this list run from 30 days (UseViral, SidesMedia) through 60 (Media Mister, Bulkoid) to 90 (SocialWick); SocialPlug's LinkedIn page names none, and its site-wide terms allow a refill only if a drop "exceeds 25% of the total amount purchased" and only "for up to 7 days from the date of your order" (read 30 August 2026). Refunds differ more: SocialWick and Media Mister publish 30-day money-back lines, Bulkoid six months, SidesMedia a label with terms elsewhere, UseViral no refund wording on the product page at all, and SocialPlug's terms give refunds "only if we have not yet fulfilled your order."

  6. 06

    Start with the smallest package and hold it to the window

    The smallest verified orders are 25 for $4.00 at Media Mister, 100 for $3.48 at SocialWick and 100 for $8.99 at UseViral or SidesMedia; Bulkoid's minimum is 250. Advertised pacing differs widely: Media Mister prints 8-12 days for 250 followers, UseViral and SidesMedia a 24-hour drip, SocialPlug completion within 24 hours. Buy the smallest package first, note the date the vendor says delivery completes, and check the count again before that vendor's refill window closes.

Buy LinkedIn connections or LinkedIn followers? Two products, four sellers

Around 600 searches a month ask about buying LinkedIn connections, and most of the vendors above sell both. The two products are not interchangeable, and LinkedIn's own help pages draw the line.

What LinkedIn says a follower is, and what a connection is

A follower is one-way and a connection is mutual. LinkedIn's "Follow and connect" help page states that "Following someone lets you see their public posts and articles in your feed without sending a connection invitation," and that "Connections are members you know and trust. When you connect with someone, you both become first-degree connections." The same page tells members to "Only send invitations to people you know and trust, in line with LinkedIn's User Agreement and Professional Community Policies."

The two numbers also have different ceilings. LinkedIn's network-size page states "LinkedIn members can have up to 30,000 1st-degree connections," and that "While there is a limit to the number of 1st-degree connections you can have, the number of people who can follow you (and who you can follow) is unlimited." A bought connection therefore consumes a capped slot in the network LinkedIn tells you to reserve for people you know; a bought follower does not.

Which ranked vendors sell connections, and at what price

Four of the six: UseViral, SidesMedia, SocialPlug and Media Mister. On August 23, 2026, UseViral's connections page priced 100 at $8.99, 500 at $38.99, 1,000 at $76.99 and 3,000 at $227.99, with the same "Starts in 30 min · drip-fed naturally over 24 hours" order line as its followers page; SidesMedia's connections ladder matched UseViral's at every tier we read.

SocialPlug's connections page advertised "Starting from $ 0.036 / Connection" and "Up to 5,000 connections per Account," with delivery "within 24 hours after the purchase"; we did not open its connections checkout ladder. Media Mister's followers page carried a card reading "Buy LinkedIn Connections — Only $3 per 100 Connections," which we did not price further. Bulkoid's LinkedIn menu lists followers and likes only, and SocialWick's LinkedIn catalog lists LinkedIn Followers and LinkedIn Likes only, so neither sells connections.

Which one to buy, if you buy either

If you buy either, followers carry the narrower risk. A follower count is the number LinkedIn shows publicly on a profile and a company page, it has no cap, and it does not put a stranger inside your first-degree network with messaging access to you. Connections are the product to avoid unless you specifically need the connection count, because LinkedIn's own guidance is to reserve invitations for people you know, and its User Agreement's Don'ts cover using "unauthorized automated methods" to "add or download contacts."

Whichever you choose, the remedy question is the same one as for followers: UseViral and SidesMedia state a 30-day refill on their LinkedIn products, Media Mister a 60-day refill warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and SocialPlug a satisfaction guarantee with no window on its product page, with its site-wide terms limiting refills to a drop above 25% of the amount purchased and to the first 7 days after the order (read 30 August 2026). None of this is ours to verify; we quote it so you can hold the vendor to it.

Safety & rules

2 questions
Is it safe to buy LinkedIn followers?

No seller can make it safe, because it runs against LinkedIn's own rules. LinkedIn's User Agreement lists among its Don'ts: "Use bots or other unauthorized automated methods to access the Services, add or download contacts, send or redirect messages, create, comment on, like, share, or re-share posts, or otherwise drive inauthentic engagement," and states that "LinkedIn reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account if you breach this Contract or the law or are misusing the Services."

Its Professional Community Policies add "We don't allow fake profiles or entities" and "Don't do things to artificially increase engagement with your content." Vendor assurances on this list, such as UseViral's "Your LinkedIn account will not be blocked or terminated," Bulkoid's "100% Platform-Compliant" and Media Mister's "Yes, it's completely safe," are the vendors' claims, not LinkedIn's position. The account-security risk is separate and avoidable: every ranked seller states it needs only a public URL or username, and none should ever be given a password.

Is buying LinkedIn followers legit?

The sellers are real businesses with working checkouts, which is what we verified on August 23, 2026, but the purchase itself breaks LinkedIn's rules, so "legit" depends on which question you are asking. All six ranked vendors publish prices, a delivery statement and some remedy for drops; none had a dead link, a password request or a checkout that failed to load. What the same pages also show: Bulkoid's checkout hides its ladder behind a username field, SocialPlug's title advertises "From $0.029" when its cheapest rate is $0.06, and a placeholder review was live on SocialPlug's page. Legitimate as a transaction is not the same as permitted by LinkedIn.

Prices & orders

1 question
How much do LinkedIn followers cost?

Between $3.48 and $16.00 for the smallest package, read off each checkout on August 23, 2026. Per 100 followers the entry prices were $3.48 at SocialWick, $8.99 at UseViral and SidesMedia, $13.00 at Media Mister and $15.00 at SocialPlug; Bulkoid starts at $16.00 for 250 and Media Mister sells 25 for $4.00. Per 1,000 the spread is wider: $34.79 at SocialWick, $76.99 at UseViral and SidesMedia, $85.00 at SocialPlug and $106.00 at Media Mister; Bulkoid's checkout shows no price before you enter a username, and the $64.00 for 1,000 in its product page's animated demo is not a checkout read. Prices change with promotions, so treat each vendor's checkout as authoritative on the day you buy.

Quality & retention

1 question
Do bought LinkedIn followers drop, and what happens if they do?

They can, and five of the six vendors publish a refill window on the LinkedIn product page itself. Bulkoid's own FAQ says "LinkedIn occasionally removes inactive accounts during routine cleanups" and covers drops for 60 days; Media Mister's FAQ calls a drop "rare, but possible" and covers 60 days; SocialWick refills "within the first 90 days of your purchase"; UseViral and SidesMedia refill for 30 days.

SocialPlug's LinkedIn page names no window, only a satisfaction guarantee, but its site-wide terms do carry one and it is narrow: read on 30 August 2026, they offer a refill "only in the event of a significant drop in the ordered quantity. Specifically, if the drop exceeds 25% of the total amount purchased," and state that "After 7 days from the date of your order, we do not offer refills." We have not measured any vendor's LinkedIn retention, so read the window and the trigger, then compare prices.

Getting started

4 questions
Can you pay to get more LinkedIn followers?

Yes. Six of the twelve growth services we track sell a dedicated LinkedIn followers product, and we read each checkout on August 23, 2026: SocialWick quoted $3.48 for 100, UseViral and SidesMedia $8.99 for 100, Media Mister $4.00 for 25, SocialPlug $15.00 for 100, and Bulkoid $16.00 for a 250 minimum. Each takes a public profile or company-page URL and none asks for a password. Paying is the easy part; LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies say "Don't do things to artificially increase engagement with your content," so read the safety answer below before you order.

Where is the best place to buy LinkedIn followers?

UseViral, on our reading of the six live checkouts: it has the clearest LinkedIn-specific product, a written 30-day refill, both gradual and all-at-once delivery, and $76.99 per 1,000. If price is the deciding factor, SocialWick is cheapest at $34.79 per 1,000 and publishes the longest refill at 90 days, but its page body is Instagram boilerplate and its delivery window is vague. If you need a company-page option on the order form or a $4.00 test order, Media Mister is the only ranked vendor with either. All prices were read on August 23, 2026.

Can you buy LinkedIn connections, and how are they different from followers?

Yes, from four of the six ranked vendors, and the difference matters. LinkedIn's help page explains that following is one-way: "Following someone lets you see their public posts and articles in your feed without sending a connection invitation," while "Connections are members you know and trust. When you connect with someone, you both become first-degree connections." LinkedIn caps connections: "LinkedIn members can have up to 30,000 1st-degree connections," while "the number of people who can follow you (and who you can follow) is unlimited."

On August 23, 2026, UseViral and SidesMedia priced connections identically to followers, from $8.99 for 100 to $76.99 for 1,000; SocialPlug advertised "Starting from $0.036 / Connection" with up to 5,000 per account; Media Mister's card read "Only $3 per 100 Connections." Bulkoid and SocialWick list followers and likes only. A bought connection sits inside the network LinkedIn tells you to reserve for people you know, so the rule risk is at least as high as for followers.

Can you buy followers for a LinkedIn company page?

Yes, and three ranked vendors say so explicitly. Media Mister's order form has a "LinkedIn Company Page" followers type beside "LinkedIn Profile"; UseViral says it needs "only your public profile or company-page URL"; Bulkoid's FAQ accepts "a link to your business or brand profile." SocialPlug's page refers to "your company page or personal profile." SocialWick and SidesMedia ask for a URL without naming the page type, so confirm with their support before ordering for a company page.
