Features

Gramista Features

This is how Gramista works: You provide hashtags to target people who have certain interests or use locations to target people that are frequent to certain places. Then the Gramista bot will try to imitate human behavior to like, follow, and unfollow people without getting flagged for suspicious behavior by Instagram.

Kicksta Features

Kicksta has all the automation that Gramista has plus more! Check it out: https://kicksta.co/how-it-works. With Kicksta, you can target Instagram users, just like yours that have a large dedicated audience. Once you identify those users, Kicksta will get the attention of that user’s dedicated audience. Since your page is similar to that user’s page, then some of their audience should follow you as well! Thus, growing your audience organically. Do this process with multiple similar accounts and your audience should sky-rocket! You can also add locations or hashtags as targets to even further define your niche.

Filters

Gramista Filters

With Gramista, you can start automating your likes and follows without specifying your target audience by turning on your toggle on your Gramista Dashboard.

If you do choose to specify your audience, you can add hashtags, locations, or other Instagram accounts to interact with.

Gramista encourages users to pick popular hashtags and locations with a large number of posts associated with them as well as accounts with a high number of followers. You can ignore certain accounts or posts with certain hashtags by using their blacklist feature.

Kicksta Filters

Kicksta is more focused on connecting you with your ideal target audience that fits your specific demographic. To start activity, you will have to specify which accounts, hashtags, and/or location you would like us to interact with. Kicksta will never like or follow an account that is not directly associated with your target preferences. We recommend sticking with middle range account with a following of less than 1 million as they tend to have a more niche-focuses audience. Same goes for hashtags and locations, not too big, but not too small.

Is Kicksta safe?  Yes, Kicksta has an advanced targeting system to weed out any spam or undesirable accounts. These filters come automatically with all Kicksta accounts:

• Profanity bad language filter
• A private account filter
• Account has to have posted in the last 90 days
• Account has to have a certain followers-to-following ratio
• Account has to be a certain number of months old

In addition, Kicksta clients can also activate these added filters to meet their specific audience needs:

• A Gender Filter (male/female)
• A Non-English Speaking Filter
• A Business Account Filter (if you are a B2C company)
• Blacklist Filter (Avoid specific people)
