03 · The verdict
Why we picked Socialboom
Socialboom takes this one narrowly, 8.0 to 7.9 overall. It posts balanced 8.0 scores across quality, delivery, support, pricing, and reputation, and is Trustpilot verified. It covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and delivers in 1 to 24 hours, with a 14-day refill guarantee.
Socialplug is barely behind and wins on reach and speed. It delivers faster, in 1 to 12 hours, and covers five platforms: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify. Its refill is the narrower of the two, though: its terms give one only when a drop exceeds 25% of the order, and only within 7 days of ordering, against Socialboom's flat 14 days. The trade-offs are a thinner reputation score (7.8 vs 8.0) and a price you cannot put beside Socialboom's in one line, because Socialplug publishes no catalogue-wide entry price and charges per quantity per service instead.
Choose Socialboom if your account is on Instagram: Socialplug dropped Instagram from its catalogue, and its Instagram product URLs returned 404 when we read them on 2026-08-29, so Socialboom is the only one of the two that still sells for it — and it brings its Trustpilot-verified track record on TikTok and YouTube too. Choose Socialplug for faster delivery and the wider coverage, including the LinkedIn, Twitter and Spotify that Socialboom does not touch. Bottom line: Socialboom for trust signals and for Instagram, Socialplug for speed and reach, with Socialboom carrying the broader refill of the two.

Frequently Asked Questions
Socialboom scores 8.0 overall versus Socialplug's 7.9, so the two are nearly identical. Socialboom edges ahead on reputation, helped by its Trustpilot verification, while Socialplug covers more networks. For most buyers it comes down to the network rather than the score: Socialboom sells Instagram followers, likes and views, and Socialplug's catalogue no longer lists any — its one remaining Instagram listing is an unlinked managed "Mother-Child Method" growth service from $600 a month.
Socialplug is faster, delivering in 1 to 12 hours versus Socialboom's 1 to 24 hours. Neither offers instant delivery, but Socialplug's narrower window makes it the quicker of the two.
Socialboom edges ahead on quality in our ratings (8.0 vs 7.8); we have not measured retention for either service first-hand. Both back orders with a refill, but not on the same terms: Socialboom's runs 14 days, while Socialplug's terms give one only when a drop exceeds 25% of the order, and only within 7 days of ordering.
Socialboom publishes a $2.49 starting price. Socialplug publishes no catalogue-wide entry price at all: its panel charges per quantity per service, and the one Socialplug checkout we have read — its LinkedIn followers panel, on 2026-08-23 — opened at $15.00 for 100. Price the specific package you need on each site, since per-unit pricing shifts on larger orders.
Socialplug supports five platforms: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify. Socialboom supports three: Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Socialplug covers more ground, but not the same ground — Instagram left its catalogue, so Socialboom is the only one of the two selling for Instagram, while LinkedIn, Twitter and Spotify are Socialplug's alone.
Socialboom is Trustpilot verified, which is a genuine trust signal and part of why it scores 8.0 for reputation versus Socialplug's 7.8. If a public review track record matters to you, that is a point in Socialboom's favor. It does not change delivery or quality much, since the two are very close on both.
We do not recommend running both on the same account at once. Overlapping deliveries can create an unnatural spike that looks suspicious to the platform. If you want to test both, use different accounts or space orders weeks apart, and pick the one that fits your budget and platform needs.
