Social Bloom (2022 Update): Shut down + The Best alternative

When Instagram says something it means it. What does it mean? If you’re looking for Social Bloom, it’s not available anymore. Why? Because they didn’t care about Instagram policy. You cannot use an Instagram growth tool that acts like a bot or worse, is a bot. So, what do you do? It’s the best time that you should decide to use a better and safer tool. Here we’re going to compare the recent functionality of Social Bloom and AiGrow. However, before the start, let’s talk about Social Bloom ending. Our comparison consisted of four categories:

• Setup
• Connecting Instagram account
• Features
• Maintenance and Support
• Price

However, before the start, let’s talk about Social Bloom ending.

Social Bloom Shut Down

If you check the website socialbloom.co, you’ll see the following picture.

As you can see, nothing relevant appears with this link. And, if you click or tap on the top green bar of the page, you’ll be directed to another website that is selling this domain. So, unfortunately, this is the end of the story for this app. However, it’s not an ending for other safe tools regarding Instagram policy and actions. What comes next shows you more about the differences between these two apps.

Social Bloom vs  Aigrow – a comparison of the two Instagram growth services.

Setup

Social Bloom

A quick search of Social Bloom on Google will return socialbloom.co and socialbloom.com. The one you want is socialbloom.co. After hitting “Get Started for FREE” you will be given four options: Social Bloom will then ask you for your name, email address, Instagram username, and the theme of your channel. After providing this information along with your payment information (PayPal or credit card), you’re officially set up with Social Bloom!

AiGrow

Get started with AiGrow in three simple steps: 1) Go to www. AiGrow.com, or search “AiGrow” in Google and choose the first result. 2) When on the homepage, click “Free Trial”. 3) Provide your name, email, desired password, and click “Register Now”. Congrats! You’ve just set up AiGrow.

Connecting Instagram Account

Social Bloom After signing up, you will be brought to your dashboard. Hit “Connect IG Account” and provide your Instagram password. Signing up with Social Bloom will prompt Instagram to ask you to confirm your identity as shown below: After confirming by clicking “This Was Me”, you’re Instagram account is now connected.

AiGrow

After logging into your AiGrow account, you will be brought to your dashboard. Here you can see all of your connected Instagram accounts (you can add and grow multiple Instagram accounts at the same time). To add a new account, click “Add Instagram Account”. From here, simply log in to your Instagram account as you normally would on your phone. AiGrow will ask you to provide a 6-digit verification code sent to your phone or email by Instagram. AiGrow encrypts your password and will not share it with anyone or use it for anything not related to growing your followers.

Features

Social Bloom offers the following features:

• Automated Likes
• Automated Follows
• Automated Comments

For the automated Liking, Following, and Comment, Social Bloom offers the following targeting options:

• Location
• Hashtag
• Blacklist
• Gender

Unfortunately, only Liking, Following, and Unfollowing are available to Basic users. If you want to use automated comments or take advantage of Location and Gender targeting,  you’re required to buy Advanced, Premium, or Pro subscriptions.

AiGrow

This platform can handle your account in two ways:

1. Providing an expert administrator to manage your account.
2. Manually set the desired settings and manage your account automatically.

Either of the two methods you choose will boost your account but let me guide you further. Administrator recruitment has its own benefits and is suitable for people who want to run a professional account on Instagram or create a business account. Now let’s talk about the tasks that an Instagram manager has.

1. Share posts regularly.
2. Choose the right hashtags for your posts.
3. Sharing the right story with your Page theme.
4. Responsive and timely response to users.
5. Page Performance Check.
6. Increase the number of followers
7.  Keep your page safe
8. Response to comments

To get started on a successful business on Instagram, you first need to have a professional Instagram page and this is not possible unless you are a fully qualified and expert Instagram admin. We’re the best host for managing your Instagram and in less than 5 minutes we’ll start managing your page. Now I’ll give you a brief explanation of the manual and automatic settings of this platform: Unlike Social Bloom, AiGrow assigns your account manager to like, follow, unfollow, DM and comment on real channels with the intention of driving relevant and organic traffic back to your own channel (and ultimately converting that traffic to followers). This way, instead of buying new followers in bulk who don’t necessarily fit your target audience (which is especially important if you are a small business or brand), you’re gaining exactly the kind of new follower you want for your channel and you’re doing it almost as quickly as you would if you purchased them. With AiGrow, you can target Instagram users based on:

• hashtags they use
• competitors they follow
• where they’re located
• custom lists of usernames
• whether or not they’re public or private
• whether or not you have already followed (and then unfollowed) in the past

In addition to the above features (which are all available in any AiGrow package), you can also select a category that you think best fits your channel. We’ll use this information to further refine your targeting. You also don’t have to worry about engaging with irrelevant or risky channels as you have complete control over the types of users you interact with, and at no point will AiGrow perform any action from your Instagram account without your permission. AiGrow account manager also unfollows any person you follow but who doesn’t follow you back within a certain amount of time. This helps keep your follower/following ratio proportional and natural-looking; something you don’t get when you immediately generate a large number of new followers with a tool like Social Bloom. To gain a better sense of the number of targeting options available for each of these features, have a peek at the short video below:

Aigrow

We also offer free one-on-one appointments to help get your account set up, and we’re always available by email or chatbot.
