What are Instagram bots?
First, in this lesson of our Instagram Academy, let’s be clear about what we mean by Instagram bot.
What are Instagram bots?
Instagram bots are tools, apps and software that leave plenty of likes and comments and follow people automatically.
What do you gain by liking, commenting and following automatically on Instagram? You get free Instagram likes, free Instagram followers and free Instagram comments back from the people you followed or whose posts you liked or commented on automatically.
Instagram bots are widespread and are used by companies and individuals alike who want to grow their Instagram profile quickly and automatically, without spending too much energy.
Who wouldn’t want plenty of followers on Instagram?
Through Instagram bots, companies can find people who might become customers, so they can gain followers who might buy and drive sales through the profile.

How do Instagram bots work?
Instagram bots are robots that automatically carry out the actions people perform on the network anyway.
What bots do:
- follow people
- leave predetermined comments
- leave automatic Instagram likes at a frequency you can set
- unfollow people
A few things worth knowing about Instagram bots:
- hashtags matter to a bot
- on some you can set the bot’s activity by location
- you can define the actions the bot should take
- you can choose the frequency (on some bots only)
So how do bots work? Here is the explanation.
- You download the app or log into the platform;
- You sign up and choose the plan you want (many are paid)
- You start setting the parameters that matter to you
- Once registered and with your Instagram account connected, you enter the hashtags the bot should follow, and it roams Instagram every day, every hour, liking every image carrying the hashtags you picked, following people and leaving comments.
Clear on how an Instagram bot works?
The bot is always active and watchful, at every hour of the day.
The point of using an Instagram bot (which should never be used on its own but inside a considered strategy) is that by liking and commenting on a great many posts from your account, you hope someone notices your profile, takes an interest and starts following you.
With Instagram bots you can reach interesting daily follower numbers (up to 500 a day, depending on the bot) — but then you have to keep them.

Which are the best Instagram bots?
Now we come to an important part, and certainly the one that interests you most.
Namely: which are the best Instagram bots?
There are plenty of bots, and the most used (Instagress) was shut down by Instagram, because — let’s be honest — Instagram does not accept bots, and there is a risk it closes accounts or blocks them temporarily if it finds you using one.
It is only right to say it: always bear in mind the risk that Instagram spots a bot and has it shut down, or works out you are using one and suspends or closes your account.
Here is the list of the best Instagram bots:
Stim Social
The first recommended bot: Stim Social.
Stim Social offers a 5-day free trial. When you sign up you select 5 profiles similar to yours so the bot understands the audience to work with. Don’t pick profiles with too few followers, or one with far too many.
You can configure what the bot does — whether to leave Instagram likes, to follow profiles or to unfollow. You can set parameters such as limiting the likes a post of yours can have, deciding how quickly to unfollow people, or choosing whether follow/unfollow applies only to accounts Stim followed or to any account.
You can also set the hours: stopping Stim Social from working overnight, for instance.
The platform also puts statistics at your fingertips on the actions it took and the follows received.
What do you say — will you try it?
InstaZood
Another interesting, capable Instagram bot that strikes a good balance between ease of use, service and cost is InstaZood.
This bot lets you:
- Follow
- Unfollow
- Leave likes
- Send private welcome messages
- Leave comments
- Schedule posts
It has plenty of features you can test during the 3-day free trial, which is long enough to decide whether it is worth buying.

Followadder
Followadder is a different kind of bot, and not for everyone.
You will ask why.
First, it is software you install on a PC rather than an app you simply register with. Second, configuring it is not straightforward: Followadder works well when set up properly, but to set it up you are better off following online guides or asking an expert.
Also, pay attention to the content you publish — that matters a great deal.
How does Followadder work?
- Leaves likes automatically
- Follows and unfollows
- Builds lists
- Sends private messages automatically
- Schedules posts
- Manages several accounts
- Searches users, photos, hashtags and comments by location
It is software worth trying, and it is cheap too.
Instaswell
What about this one?
Instaswell is one of the most used because it is one of the free Instagram bots.
How does Instaswell work?
This platform does what the others do, with a minimal, easy interface and a few features fewer — but listen to this.
Alongside the subscription plan you can also use it free (the free service is limited to 50 followers and 50 likes a day). You can manage comments straight from the platform, choose hashtags, similar profiles and the location you want to work in.
You choose whether to follow, unfollow and like.
Boostgram
Boostgram is a very complete bot, and one I recommend.
Like some of the others above, this Instagram bot lets you schedule posts alongside the other automated functions.
The drawback is that it is fairly expensive, so after the free trial you have to be willing to spend — money that would be well spent, since it automates practically everything.

I hope this has cleared things up and given you useful advice for speeding up the growth of your Instagram account.
Be careful not to rely on bots alone to grow your account, though. That would be very risky, because Instagram could catch you and suspend or block the account. So always work within a growth strategy.
