Crowd Ignite 

Totally a scam...and I can prove it.
Most followers have maybe between 100-200 followers yet are following between 4000-6000 accounts. Red flag #1
You can pay to have your posts boosted for likes but you will find that all your posts have maybe 100-125 likes no matter how many followers you get. Red flag #2
Your authentic "followers" don't make any comments at all. Red flag #3
You will find that you can gain 10-20 followers at the beginning of your campaign, then near the end you will see mass exodus of followers to the tune of up to 40 at one time. Red flag #4
When you speak with them about their process you get very vague answers and they will always blame "viewers". Red flag #5
and the last piece...you will get followers throughout the day but likes at the same time. This means that they are liking your posts AT THE SAME DATE, TIME & LOCATION. Red flag #6

Hire these fools at your own risk.
UPDATE August 10
Well it seems after sending an email to these guys I got nothing but generic responses again and all of a sudden my followers have gone from almost 1600 to losing roughly 40 followers a day now. Further proof that if you don't pay these guys or go after them all of a sudden you lose followers which is completely against their advertising campaign.. ever since I posted this review I've lost an average of 30 to 40 a day in followers. Interesting eh?

Not overwhelming but steady.
The growth was not overwhelming, I mean the growth of followers was not instant. It was slowly but surely. I got a few followers the first week but the engagement was actually the highlight. My posts finally got views and likes. Very satisfactory.

These guys are scammers. What a fake platform you have guys. Instagram has now started to detect your bots and it drops the engagement.
What an empty way of making money, you guys are con artists. Hope you’re proud of yourself.

What a shame! BEWARE EVERYONE

Do not use this service!! they will give you followers but they are not organic at all they are dead accounts that have for example 100 followers but follow 5,000 people. They don’t engage with your page at all, the other big issue is, months after cancelling you will continue to get around 100 - 200 fake followers each day, which kills your engagement. The support team will just deny that it’s anything to do with their service and blame Instagram.

These are the biggest scammers out there.
They immediately charged €60 without proper consent.

After just 3 followers, I could already tell where this was going — all fake accounts with locked profiles. Absolutely nothing to do with my brand or target audience.

The worst part? They blocked access to the main login link after I signed in, so I could browse the website but couldn’t access my account to cancel the subscription.
I had to log in through an alternative link using anonymous browsing just to get in.

These people are filthy, shameless scammers. Avoid at all costs.

My tech meme page got good results using Crowd Ignite. My posts started getting more shares and DMs, though I did spot a few random followers. Still it feels safer than other services I’ve seen.

It's definitely helped me get more followers who are into fitness and wellness, and some have even reached out for coaching! But be prepared to wait a bit, it's not instant, and you have to continue engaging with your audience. I also think the platform could use some design updates to make it easier to use. Still, I'm glad I signed up =)

I run a small home decor shop on Instagram and wanted to expand my audience. Crowd Ignite helped me grow my following with people who are interested in handmade and decor products. It’s a bit pricey if you’re just starting out. Also, don’t expect overnight success. You’ll need to stick with it for a few weeks before seeing noticeable results. Still, I’m happy with the outcome so far! -Christine

Honestly, the follows did start coming within the first 10 hours or so but every single one was a fake profile. I would never recommend using this service and in my opinion it is a complete scam.

This is the biggest Scam I have been foolish enough to fall for, immediately after signing up I realised that this was just a fake instagram bot providing fake followers with the usual AI related names like tjk9g-6y7u and the profiles are terrible totally fake when you backtrack the profile photos they are totally different people with either huge following or nothing related to social media.

I would imagine this to be just a Chinese AI Phone Farm that literally churn out this rubbish day in day out.
But it’s much cheaper to just go direct and buy 50,000 fake followers like this on Etsy etc for $5 you will get the same rubbish unrelated profiles and zero engagement or likes which will mess you social media up more than having the extra followers you want.

Spoke to Olivia who blagged she would sort it out but within a week I had gained 199 fake AI bot made followers totally effecting my ratings and got an email and block from instagram stating I was not following instagram rules and abusing the system.

When I eventually after just under a week got ‘them too shut down and for me to have to one by one get rid of the fake AI bot followers I was told I would get my refund but refund never came it’s fraud and a scam.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Looking up all the reviews on this platform... I couldn't find ONE of these accounts in IG w/ any substantial amount of followers. Disappointing as I'm researching to use Crowd Ignite but I can't find a legit positive review.

If I could give negative stars I would!
Crowdignite’s software will trash your IG account with hundreds of fake accounts and bots, drowning out any genuine followers. This will wreck any progress you’ve made with genuinely interested and highly engaged followers - avoid like the plague - I am considering legal action their entire set up is fake. They are pathsocial rebranded because path social has such bad reviews - don’t make the mistake I did.

Update - I definitley did have dealings with crowdignite and thank goodness I got a full refund through my bank. The reply to this review is as bogus as their service.

Avoid Crowd Ignite at All Costs – Scam Alert
Crowd Ignite is a complete scam masquerading as a growth service. Do NOT fall for the 50% annual plan – it’s a trap. They lure you in with big promises, but the results are nothing but a flood of low-quality, fake-looking followers that will tank your engagement and damage your credibility.

The worst part? If you cancel, they will not refund you – even though you're left with a worthless service. You're stuck for the rest of the year, watching your account be bloated with bot-like accounts that do nothing but make your profile look sketchy.

This is predatory, unethical business. I deeply regret signing up, and I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone serious about growing their audience organically. Total fraud.

Started off with a month subscription to see if it actually worked, operate 2 existing business & starting a 3rd so thought I’d try something new. First 3 weeks it worked a treat, plenty of new followers and a reasonable amount of surface level interaction.

Then over night, views dropped by x10 & new followers ground to halt. Contacted Crowd Ignite & got a speedy reply very politely telling me that the subscription is “limited” in effectiveness without additional paid add-ons & that paying for these services would be only way to regain the momentum I’d seen 2 days before.

Right or wrong it felt very deliberate and calculated, that they didn’t even maintain the initial service for the duration of the subscription we’d paid for was extremely frustrating as is the fact that a service that we had great hope in, turned out to be a massive disappointment.

I did a little experiment with Crowd Ignite and it's 100% Bot accounts.
I trialed it for a month just to see what it was about, yes you will get followers, BUT they aren't real accounts. There are also 2 "features" that they advertise that are not available yet, and marked as "coming soon" in the dashboard.
The first little hint for me was when I got 15 follows over a couple of hours from accounts all created in August 2024. Ok, maybe it's just coincidence, right?
Then the giveaway, I was followed by the account of a 2022 Olympic Figure Skater, but wait they only have 155 followers.... surely an Olympian has more then that?
A quick search and I found the real account with over 12k followers. They had images copied from the account over about a 4month period.
Whilst I gained around 800 followers in the month, my view count had not changed. You have to pay extra for views ($17) likes ($24) and comments/engagement ($22).

When the month ended I ran a Meta Ad campaign for a week for the same cost. Whilst I only gained 100 followers from that campaign, I saw my engagement across the board go up. Save your money, and invest in creating better content than Meta Ads, instead of these bot services.

Don’t subscribe- it’s ok for a month then a complete waste of money. Considering legal action and seeking a refund .
Your ‘account manager’ replies with generic AI responses only

The reply below is nonsense - they offered me credit as they were doing such a bad job but ‘can’t find my order’

I subscribed to Crowd Ignite after being promised real, authentic, and regionally targeted Instagram followers.
Instead, I received random, low-quality followers who do not engage with my content at all, damaging my account’s reach and credibility.

After multiple attempts to communicate, I only received generic, automated replies.
Despite clear evidence provided, they refused to resolve the issue or refund my payment.
I have now formally filed a dispute with my bank for “service not delivered as described.”

I strongly advise others to be cautious before purchasing from this company.
I am happy to provide screenshots and proof to anyone who wants to see them.

Not impressed. Worked well for one month and then I got locked out of my account but still getting billed for it. Still trying to figure that out. Can't get in touch with anyone. Might have to contact my bank and report it as fraud.

I’ve been trying to sign up but there is absolutely no customer support ! Can anyone help me with any customer care ??

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to resolve and update this review.
But at this point I’m feeling scammed by this company. The website advertises monthly and yearly plans on various deals.
I wanted to trial a monthly plan first and then if I liked the experience I’d extend my plan. I was instead immediately charged a full year balance. It’s now four days I’ve been trying to email the company for assistance, as despite their offer for 24/7 chat contact, there is no chat option I can find an just a generic email to request support. On starting up I have been given an email address for a designated account handler, she also hasn’t responded to any emails as yet.
I am seeing some follower growth and a minor amount of additional engagement on my account that I think is being pushed by Crowd Ignite. But right now all I can feel is that I’ve made a bad mistake with this decision to work with this company.
I’m also continually being spammed by them to sign up (even though I already have) and when I try to respond back to that email, the email bounces!
So all in all this may end up a costly mistake that I’ll put down to experience. If miraculously things resolve and improve I’ll update this review. But in the meantime I thought I’d share my honest review at day 4 of non contact from support with this company.
