Here’s a breakdown of the tools I’m using for Instagram automation, otherwise known as my “Robot-Slave Army” built around the Mother/Slave (M/S) method. These tools allow me to automate Instagram interactions on a large scale, helping my agency scout models more efficiently while minimizing manual work.
Instagram Automation:
- Cost: $50/month for the basic plan, which allows up to 50 accounts and provides full access to all automation tools. When I need to scale up, I’ll upgrade to the unlimited plan, which costs $100/month. Fanzella is the heart of the system, managing all my IG slave accounts—liking posts, viewing stories, sending DMs, and much more. Its features make it ideal for managing mass interactions without having to manually touch every account. Site: https://fanzella.com
4G Mobile Proxy (Ukraine):
- Cost: $28/month. I’m using a 4G mobile proxy to manage my Instagram accounts. This particular proxy can handle up to 80 Instagram slave accounts, keeping them under the radar and helping avoid bans from Instagram’s algorithms. Using mobile proxies is key because they simulate real device behavior, which drastically reduces the chances of your accounts being flagged for suspicious activity. Site: https://lteboost.com/en
Parser.im:
- Cost: $27/month. This is my go-to Instagram ID scraper, and while it’s in Russian (browser translators are your friend!), it’s incredibly efficient. Parser allows me to scrape data from up to 20 Instagram accounts or hashtags simultaneously, which is crucial for targeting potential models or niche audiences. The tool makes gathering IG user data quick, freeing up the slave accounts to focus on engagement tasks instead of just searching for leads. Site: https://parser.im
GetAllMyLinks:
- Cost: $9/month for the most basic plan. This is my favorite link management tool. It allows me to redirect up to 1 links (used to be 10) with great tracking and metrics. I use it to mask links in the bios of my Instagram slave accounts, ensuring they don’t get flagged or blocked by IG’s strict link policies. Plus, it provides insights into which links get the most clicks, helping me measure the effectiveness of different campaigns. Site: https://getallmylinks.com
Social Proof for the Agency’s IG Account:
- Cost: $30. Fake followers and likes are a necessary evil to boost the appearance of the agency’s mother account. They help build credibility by creating the illusion that the account has an established and engaged audience. I buy these followers and likes in small, gradual batches to keep things looking organic. Site: https://vinasmm.com
IG Aged Accounts:
- Cost: $2 to $6 each. The slave accounts I use for my Instagram automation are aged accounts, which means they’ve been active for a while (repurposed from a previous project). These aged accounts are more trustworthy in the eyes of Instagram’s algorithms compared to fresh accounts. Buying aged accounts helps prevent suspensions and ensures smoother operations.

Spintax Text Generator:
- Cost: FREE. To avoid detection, it’s important that the DMs sent by my slave accounts aren’t identical. A Spintax generator helps me create variations of messages by spinning text, which makes every DM unique. This tool ensures that all communications sent from my slave accounts look natural.

TXT File Merger:
- Cost: FREE. When managing thousands of Instagram IDs, I sometimes need to merge multiple text files into one before uploading them to Fanzella for automation. This tool allows me to do that easily without messing with spreadsheets. It’s simple, effective, and saves a lot of time. Site: https://products.aspose.app/words/merger
Find IG User ID:
- Cost: FREE. Whenever I need to locate the unique user ID of an Instagram account, this tool does the trick. It’s especially useful when I need to grab the numeric ID for specific actions in Fanzella. Site: https://commentpicker.com/instagram-user-id.php
Find IG Username:
- Cost: FREE. On the flip side, when I have an Instagram ID and need to know the corresponding username, this free tool helps bridge that gap. It’s handy for cross-referencing data I scrape from Parser and organizing my targets. Site: https://commentpicker.com/instagram-username.php
Why Automation is Key
By setting up this robot-slave army, I can focus on scaling my agency rather than manually managing every interaction. Whether I’m liking posts, sending DMs, or viewing stories, automation allows me to grow my Instagram presence efficiently and reach far more potential models than I could on my own.
The tools I’ve chosen for my setup are highly cost-effective, and I’ll be sharing more details on my Instagram strategy, including performance metrics and results, in future posts. Stay tuned!
