Why do the AI products cost more?
InstaCells AI Check and InstaCells AI Report ask live AI answers each question several times and search the web for every claim, because a single answer is not a measurement. Those live calls are most of the price.

What this measures, and what it does not
Instagram blocks most AI crawlers by default. This means most of the variation in AI citation is explained by what exists outside Instagram, not by optimising inside it. InstaCells measures both — your on-platform signals and your off-platform web footprint — and reports the association between them honestly. It does not claim that any single change will cause a specific increase in AI citations; that would need controlled experiments we have not yet run at scale.
