How much do 1,000 likes and 1,000 views cost
Short answer: there's no single price for a thousand likes or a thousand views — it changes depending on the network, the service type, where the audience comes from, delivery speed, and whether there's a refill window. That's why the current number lives on Feira Social's public price index, not inside an article that would go stale in a few weeks.
The short version
- Views are almost always the cheapest metric per thousand; likes cost more because they require an account to actually interact.
- The network matters: Reels, TikTok, and YouTube are different operations, even when the service name is the same.
- Speed comes at a cost. Concentrated delivery costs more and draws more attention to the post.
- A service with a refill window costs more than one without, and that window varies by service.
- Buying based on the lowest price per thousand is the most common mistake: that low price usually comes out of audience quality and the refill.
What makes the price of a thousand likes go up or down
Engagement services aren't a commodity, even though they look like one. Two orders of "a thousand likes" can cost very different amounts because what's behind them is different. The five factors below explain almost all the variation you see in the market.
| Factor | Pushes the price up | Pushes the price down |
|---|---|---|
| Type of metric | Likes, comments, saves | Views and video plays |
| Network | Platform with stricter rules and frequent removals | Platform with simpler counting |
| Audience origin | Targeted or Brazilian audience | Mixed audience, no targeting |
| Speed | Concentrated delivery, starts immediately | Delivery spread out over hours or days |
| Refill | Service with a stated refill window | Service with no refill |
| Order volume | Small orders, fixed cost spread across fewer units | Larger tiers, with scale |
Why views are cheaper than likes
A view is a playback count: the technical bar to deliver it is lower, and there's more volume available. A like needs an account that opens the post and acts on it, which is more expensive to run and more likely to get removed later. That's why, for the same order of a thousand units, views almost always come in cheaper than likes.
That difference plays out in practice. A thousand views on a Reel barely change how someone landing on the profile perceives it; a thousand likes change it a lot. If the goal is social proof, your money goes further on likes; if it's about creating the impression of a well-watched video, take a look at Instagram Reels views and compare what each tier delivers before you decide.
How much do a thousand Instagram likes cost today?
The number lives in the index, not here — and that's on purpose. Engagement service prices change when the platform changes its rules, when operating costs rise, and when demand tightens. A fixed number written in September turns into wrong information by November, and wrong pricing information is exactly the kind of thing that makes a reader lose trust in the whole site.
The honest path is this: see what each service delivers on the Instagram likes page, and check the current number in the index. To understand the pricing logic behind the market's most-searched metric, the full reasoning is in how much a thousand followers cost in Brazil — the same factors apply to likes and views.
How to compare two quotes without fooling yourself
Compare five things, in this order: exactly what's delivered, where the audience comes from, how fast it arrives, whether there's a refill window, and what happens if delivery fails. Only after that should you compare the price per thousand. A quote that only gives you a price is hiding the other four answers.
One detail almost nobody checks: how much of the delivered number will still be there a month from now. A cheap service with no refill can end up costing more in the long run, because you pay twice. What Feira Social discloses about the origin and behavior of each delivery is in the quality criteria for each service.
What this does NOT fix
Bought likes and views don't build an audience. They move the visible number on the post, not who actually watches, comments, saves, or buys. For most business goals, that same money would go further spent on content or ads.
They don't buy algorithmic safety either. Platforms remove engagement they consider inauthentic — YouTube, for instance, states this openly in its fake engagement policy, and Meta describes a similar standard in its inauthentic behavior policy. No provider, including this one, eliminates 100% of that risk. Anyone who promises otherwise is selling something they don't control.
Frequently asked questions
Do likes cost more or less than views?
Views tend to be the cheapest metric per thousand, because it's just a playback count. Likes depend on an account actually opening the post, so they cost more. The exact difference varies by network and service type, and the current number lives in Feira Social's price index.
Why does the same service have different prices by network?
Because every platform delivers differently and changes its rules at its own pace. Views on Reels, TikTok, and YouTube aren't the same product, even though they share a name. A network with stricter rules costs more to operate, and that shows up in the price.
Does fast delivery always cost more?
Generally yes, and that's not always a good thing. Delivery concentrated in a short window draws more attention to the post; spread-out delivery tends to be cheaper and more discreet. Choose based on the effect you want, not how fast you want it.
Is it worth paying more for a service with a refill?
It usually is when the number needs to hold up for weeks — for example, an account you're about to present to a partner. Some services include a refill window, and it varies by service — check the service page before comparing prices.
Where can I see the current price of a thousand likes?
In the site's price index, which is public and requires no sign-up. It's updated as services change, so we avoid repeating figures in articles: a number written here would be outdated within weeks.

Before comparing prices, decide what the number needs to accomplish and how long it needs to hold up. With that in hand, the up-to-date price index tells you in a minute how much the tier you want costs — no sign-up required.
