Facebook separated Page likes from Page followers, and followers is now the number that governs who actually receives your posts. That makes this a different question from the older likes comparison. At 1kreach, 1,000 Facebook followers is $26.99 and 1,000 Instagram followers is $12.99 — two Meta properties, fed by the same content, priced twice apart.
Directional claims only — no fabricated numbers. Use this as a shortlist, not a spec.
| Criterion | Facebook Followers | Instagram Followers |
|---|---|---|
| Price per 1,000 (Standard) | $26.99 | $12.99 |
| What the number controls | Feed delivery — likes no longer do | Feed and Explore delivery |
| Content reuse | Receives cross-posts from Instagram | Origin for most Meta cross-posts |
| Audience age skew | Skews 35+ | Skews 18–34 |
| Strongest format | Links, long captions, events | Reels, carousels, stories |
| Largest package | 5k followers — $89.99 | 10k followers — $64.99 |
Put the budget on Instagram followers unless Facebook is where your buyers already are — events, local services, community groups, or a customer base over 40. Instagram costs less than half per 1,000 and feeds the same Reels into both apps. With a linked account center, grow Instagram and let cross-posting carry the Page.
No. Meta split the two. Likes are now a legacy vanity count, while followers decide who receives your posts in feed. If you buy only one, followers is the metric that still does work.
Only through cross-posted content, never through the count itself. The two numbers are entirely separate. A linked account center shares posts and ad audiences, not followers.
The pool of usable Facebook accounts is smaller and delivery is paced more conservatively — $26.99 per 1,000 against $12.99 on Instagram. Both carry the same 30-day refill window and need no password.
