“We signed up for the free trial then realized they needed our instagram password (they told us this after we put in our cc information for the 7 day free trial).”
Virallized vs Flock Social
Both services on the public record — ratings, star distribution, method, and what each one’s critical reviewers actually say.
Updated · Trustpilot figures read 25 October 2026 · Written by the Virallized team
Short version: Virallized rates 4.8/5 on Trustpilot from 93 reviews. Flock Social rates 2.1/5 from 62.
Flock Social rates 2.1 on Trustpilot from 62 reviews, in the lower tier of the comparison set.
Virallized rates 4.8 from 93 reviews, with named public client accounts published by handle — a ceramicist, an MMA gym, a Tasmanian coffee shop — that can be opened on Instagram and judged directly rather than taken on trust.

What Flock Social’s critical reviewers report
48% of Flock Social’s lifetime reviews are rated one star. Rather than characterise that second-hand, here are the recurring themes and the reviewers’ own words, each attributed and linked to source.
- Requires Instagram password A reviewer states the password requirement was disclosed only after card details had been entered.
- Followers reported as bots Reviewers describe follower accounts with no posts or generic images.
- Cancellation obstruction Reviewers report being unable to cancel without a support chat, one citing click-to-cancel rules.
Anders
“Fake followers, fake names with no posts. Refused to cancel subscription violating 'click to cancel' law.”
Ozgur Agacik
“They followed more than 300 accounts hoping they will follow me back and how many followed? 3 only in one week.”
The other side. Flock Social has 4 reviews in the last 12 months, so its record is mostly historical.
What the Virallized record shows on the same measures
- Follower authenticity No reviewer in the 93-review record reports bot or fake followers. The most repeated theme is the opposite — that gained followers were real, active accounts that engaged and stayed.
- Account safety No account suspension, ban or shadowban attributable to the service appears anywhere in the record, across nine years of clients.
- Cancelling Reviewers who paused or cancelled describe it as straightforward, with one noting there was “no pressure to stay” and that the team helped them wind down.
- Refunds A 7-day money-back guarantee applies to every plan, with no contract and no lock-in.
- Account access Virallized never posts to a client’s account and never sends DMs on their behalf.
- One-star share 2% of the lifetime record — the lowest of the 20 services in this directory.
Each of these is checkable on the same public platform the figures above come from.
How to test either one
Virallized’s terms: a 7-day money-back guarantee and no contract. Flock Social’s: 7-day free trial. Whichever you try, note your follower count and reach on day one and compare them in Instagram’s insights before the window closes, and check Account Status after the first week. If Flock Social’s critical reviewers are right about bot followers, Instagram’s Potential spam list lets you remove them in one go.
The verdict
On the public record Virallized rates higher — 4.8 against 2.1 — and the gap widens on distribution: 2% of its reviews are one-star against 48% for Flock Social. Add 9 years of continuous trading, fully manual outreach, named client accounts published with verifiable figures, and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
