What Is Trendgram?

TrendGram markets itself as a service that can help Instagram users grow their followers.

Trendgram guarantees no bots or fake users, just “100% growth.” 

It operates on a subscription basis. 

Is Trendgram a Scam?

Probably. 

According to Scam Adviser, Trendgram exhibits significant red flags and has characteristics synonymous with scams. 

For example, Scam Adviser notes that Trendgram: 

• Doesn’t explain its process for acquiring new followers for its clients.
• Fails to provide concrete evidence of past successes. 
• Claims to be featured in reputable publications like Business Insider and Forbes, yet  Scam Adviser couldn’t find evidence of that being the case.
• Appears to inflate client results.
• Uses high-pressure sales tactics.
• Has a ton of negative customer reviews.

GridinSoft, a provider of anti-malware software, has also researched Trendgram and concluded that it is a scam. GridinSoft gives Trendgram 1 point out of 100 points (with 100 being the most reputable).

One of the commentators on the GridinSoft website left a thorough review of Trendgram. 

They said that every single account that followed them on Instagram was new (none were older than three months), at least one of the accounts used a profile photo that belonged to another account, none of the accounts responded to her messages, and Instagram flagged her account because they said she had a dozen spam accounts following her. 

Worst of all, the commentator said: “When I went to them with my concerns, THEY DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO DENY IT. They just kept deflecting the conversation. Worst company ever.”

Trendgram also gets mostly negative reviews on Trustpilot. 

Most users call TrendGram a scam, citing fake followers, disappearing engagement, and never-ending spam emails. 

Multiple businesses and individuals report being harassed by cold emails promoting TrendGram. Even after unsubscribing or replying “stop,” the spam often continues.

If you engage with Trendgram, you’re unlikely to get the results you’ve hoped for. 

One person said: “This is clearly a scam. All of the accounts that follow you are fake accounts, they all have around 40-50 posts, many of the accounts created on the same day, I had multiple accounts start following me that had been created on May 23rd. Don’t waste your money.” 

Some users reported sudden drops of hundreds or thousands of followers. TrendGram’s explanation was that Instagram removes inactive accounts, but users suspect otherwise. Others said that the followers they got through Trengram disappeared after they cancelled the service. 

Speaking of cancellations, multiple people noted that cancelling their TrendGram subscription was very difficult. 

One user wrote: “The worst is that it’s difficult to cancel my subscription as they are not responding to my emails to do that.”

Trustpilot has a “Warning” label on Trendgram’s profile for breaching Trustpilot’s Terms of Use and displaying Trustpilot’s content in a potentially misleading way. 

On online forums like Reddit, people also report negative experiences with Trendgram. 

One user said: “i signed up for the 7 day trial just to see and i’ve gained about 50 followers in 8 hours. Every single one of them is a new account or the names are gibberish with lots of names like.this i messaged a few just to see if they’d reply, obviously none.”

Countless Reddit users report getting emails from Trendgram promising massive growth. 

As one Reddit user noted: “I get this email about once a month. Total scam.”

So, Should You Use Trendgram?

No. We do not recommend that you use Trendgram. 

The risks (your Instagram account being potentially flagged or even banned, losing money with little to no results, and being stuck in recurring charges that are hard to cancel) outweigh any possible short-term gain.
