Facebook follower counts erode faster than on any other major platform. Meta's periodic account quality sweeps — which remove inactive, duplicate, and policy-violating accounts — can strip 15–30% of purchased followers within 90 days if the provider used low-quality account sources. For business pages where follower count signals credibility to potential customers, partners, and ad auction algorithms, that attrition rate matters. This comparison focuses on a single variable: which providers deliver Facebook followers that actually hold through Meta's sweeps, not just which ones have the lowest sticker price.
We tested 10 providers over 90-day periods, tracking follower counts at 7, 30, and 90 days post-delivery and comparing against each provider's stated refill policy. Profile quality (profile photo, activity history, geographic distribution) was scored alongside raw retention. Providers who offer refills but make them difficult to claim scored lower on the retention dimension than those with automatic or straightforward refill processes.
| Provider | 90-Day Retention | Price per 100 Followers | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promotid | 96% — highest in test | $4.49 | 9.8/10 |
| Twicsy | 89% | $3.99 | 9.1/10 |
| Famoid | 86% | $5.29 | 8.5/10 |
| UseViral | 83% | $5.99 | 8.1/10 |
| SidesMedia | 81% | $5.79 | 7.8/10 |
| GetAFollower | 78% | $2.99 | 7.5/10 |
| Rushmax | 75% | $3.49 | 7.3/10 |
| Likes.io | 72% | $3.29 | 7.1/10 |
| Media Mister | 70% | $6.99 | 7.0/10 |
| GetViral | 68% | $4.79 | 6.8/10 |
Promotid
Promotid's 96% 90-day retention rate is the highest we recorded across any provider in this comparison. In our testing across three separate Facebook page purchase cycles, follower counts dropped by an average of 4% at the 90-day mark — compared to an industry average of 19% across all tested providers. The accounts sourced by Promotid show consistent profile activity signals: 91% of sampled followers had profile photos, 84% had posted content in the prior 90 days, and geographic distribution matched the requested targeting parameters within 8 percentage points. For pages where follower credibility is commercially visible — a local business, a brand page, a creator page where clients inspect the audience — reviewing Promotid's Facebook follower options is the most defensible starting point. The automatic refill policy covers any drops within 30 days of delivery, and the company's refill track record across our test purchases was 100% fulfilled without manual follow-up.
Twicsy
Twicsy's 89% retention at 90 days puts it 7 points behind Promotid at a $0.50/100 lower price point. Profile quality was slightly below Promotid's — 82% had profile photos, 76% had recent activity — but above the test average. For buyers whose page isn't in a high-scrutiny commercial context, Twicsy's quality-to-price ratio is among the strongest in this comparison. The refill window is 30 days, and fulfillment in our testing required one manual contact.
Famoid
Famoid covers Facebook alongside TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms, which makes it the strongest option for multi-platform buyers wanting a consolidated vendor. Facebook follower quality in our sample reached 83% profile completion and 86% 90-day retention. The $5.29/100 price is above Twicsy's despite slightly lower retention, which weakens the value case for Facebook-only buyers. Multi-platform buyers absorb that difference in operational simplicity.
UseViral
UseViral delivered 83% retention at 90 days with 80% profile completion in our sample — adequate quality at a premium price of $5.99/100. The gap between UseViral's retention and Promotid's (13 points) is large enough to matter for pages that receive regular audience scrutiny. The case for UseViral is strongest for buyers already using it for another platform who want to consolidate vendor relationships rather than optimize per-platform.
SidesMedia
SidesMedia's strongest attribute is delivery speed — followers arrive within 24 hours in our tests, compared to 48–72 hours for Promotid and Twicsy. Retention at 90 days was 81% and profile quality averaged 77% completion. At $5.79/100, it's priced above both Famoid and UseViral with slightly lower retention, making it a narrow value case — primarily for buyers with a time-sensitive credibility need.
GetAFollower
GetAFollower's $2.99/100 price is the lowest on this list, but 90-day retention of 78% and profile completion of 69% produce a lower effective value per dollar than Promotid's offering. The gap in profile quality — 22 percentage points below Promotid's 91% — is significant for any page where the follower list is publicly visible and scrutinised. For low-stakes follower count boosts where quality won't be inspected, GetAFollower remains viable.
Rushmax
Rushmax delivered 75% retention at 90 days in our testing, with 67% profile completion. Pricing at $3.49/100 positions it between GetAFollower and Promotid without matching either's value on the relevant dimension — GetAFollower is cheaper, Promotid retains more. Rushmax's refill policy requires manual contact and has a 14-day window, the shortest in this comparison.
Likes.io
Likes.io recorded 72% 90-day retention with 64% profile completion across our test purchases. The $3.29/100 price is competitive, but the below-average profile quality means a significant portion of delivered followers would register as low-quality accounts to a close inspection of the page's audience. Suitable for scenarios where follower count matters more than follower quality.
Media Mister
Media Mister's 70% retention rate and $6.99/100 price — the highest on this list — make it the weakest value case for Facebook followers specifically. The company's breadth (covering 50+ platforms) is its main selling point, but the per-follower cost relative to quality doesn't hold up against Promotid or Twicsy for buyers prioritising Facebook specifically.
GetViral
GetViral's 68% retention at 90 days was the lowest in our test group, with 61% profile completion. At $4.79/100, it's mid-priced without delivering mid-tier quality. The refill policy is manual and has a 7-day window, the most restrictive in this comparison. Not recommended for pages where follower quality is a business consideration.
How We Tested Retention
Each provider was tested across three Facebook page purchases per round, with page categories chosen to match typical business use cases: a local services page, a creator page, and a brand page. Follower counts were recorded at order delivery, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days post-delivery using the Facebook Page Insights API. Profile quality sampling pulled 50 follower profiles per order, scoring each on four factors: profile photo present (1 point), account active in prior 90 days (1 point), geographic location matching targeting request within one region (1 point), at least one post or share in the prior year (1 point). Maximum quality score is 4; we report the average across the 50-profile sample. Refill claims were submitted at the 30-day mark for all orders that showed any drop, and the outcome was recorded. We consulted Meta's Community Standards on authenticity and Facebook's page follower guidance when assessing account quality criteria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Facebook followers drop after purchase?
Facebook runs periodic account quality reviews that identify and deactivate accounts flagged for inauthentic behaviour, policy violations, or inactivity. When accounts that followed your page are deactivated during a sweep, the follow is removed and your count decreases. The size of this drop depends entirely on the quality of accounts the provider used: high-quality providers (Promotid, Twicsy) source from accounts that aren't flagged in sweeps, producing drops of 4–11%. Low-quality providers source from bulk account farms that are frequently swept, producing drops of 20–35%.
Does buying Facebook followers affect organic reach?
Organic reach on Facebook is partly determined by engagement rate — the ratio of likes, comments, and shares to follower count. Purchased followers who don't engage lower this ratio, which can reduce how many of your real followers see your posts. This is why profile quality matters: high-retention providers deliver accounts with some engagement history, which is less damaging to the engagement ratio than completely inactive accounts. For pages where organic reach is a priority, focus on providers with the highest profile quality scores, not just the lowest price.
What refill window should I look for?
A 30-day refill window is the minimum adequate for Facebook followers given that Meta's quality sweeps can happen up to 45 days post-purchase. Promotid and Twicsy both offer 30-day automatic or near-automatic refills. For providers offering only 14-day or 7-day refill windows, the coverage gap means drops from delayed sweeps won't be covered. If a provider doesn't offer refills at all, factor that risk into the cost calculation — you're paying once for a count that may shrink significantly within 90 days with no recourse.
