YouTube likes are the cheapest like we sell at $9.99 per 1,000, against $11.99 on Instagram. The bigger difference is shelf life. A YouTube video keeps surfacing in search and suggested feeds for years, so the ratio you buy today still gets read next year. An Instagram post is effectively finished within weeks. Where the like will still be seen matters more than the two-dollar gap.

Put the budget on YouTube likes when the video is evergreen — a tutorial that ranks in search keeps getting read for years, and at $9.99 per 1,000 it is the cheapest like we sell. Choose Instagram likes when a post needs to look strong in its first 48 hours. Evergreen usually beats immediate.
