When it comes down to it, you can't depend on a web UI. Yes, very nice, the cowboys will run instabot from an AWS instance, but as a customer you're also a test dummy. Do you believe that they use an advanced machine learning approach? I don't. They use buzzwords like these to market to non-tech people. Machine learning requires both positive and negative results to get better. In this case, a negative result is some type of ban or account disable. They can't optimize without knowing what will get them caught. They can't know what will get them caught unless they get caught.
To be fair- machine learning applied to finding the optimal time of the day to post and get followers can work. But it really just wouldn't be worth anyone's time to develop seeing as all of the factors that affect each account differently.
When I say that you can't depend on them, I mean that the site is probably going to get taken down soon.
With Followliker, you control your destiny and getting banned is your fault. What additional features do you wish it had?
While we're at it, how has your experience with their customer support been? Asking for a straight shooter I'm acquainted with.

For me personally, Instaheap worked better than anything out there. I switched from Followliker 4-5 weeks ago and the results are noticeable.
Not only it's cheaper but each account comes with a private proxy, included in the plan.
I don't know how the machine learning part works but what would stop them from testing on dummy accounts first?
Support was good for me so far. Had an issue connecting an older instagram account and they helped me sort it out.
The optimal time detection is one of the main reasons I switched over. The results are coming in way faster since I assume they detect when the targets are active.

I imagine they run test accounts to know where the limits are in real-time and adapt the settings, no?
But the $9 per month per account sucks if you want to have lots of accounts

They offer discounts if you have over 5 accounts. For me (over 40 accounts connected), they offered me a pretty sweet discount. Check their pricing page

But it's only for following.
What do you use for posting/scheduling?

It's not just following. Liking, commenting and unfollowing as well.
I mostly post myself every 1-2 days on each acc., except for Stories where I use a scheduling platform.

Considering it's web based and includes a private VPN per account I think it's a pretty sweet deal. Especially if you have more accounts, they offer very hefty discounts. So far I'm seeing great results

I just had a talk with them. Their support is super good in what they are doing. Not like a stupid support. They are well known (Good knowledge about their product) support for now.
The only thing is that pricing is bit higher as compared to other alternatives we have (if we keep that machine learning thing away which they offer).
Let's see how they go. I used to have Instagress to. They were good though I lost my account with them multipletimes.

So is Instaheap yours? Since you've only joined BHW to promote that site.

That is exactly what he has been doing.
