About Instagram Close Friends Manager
Close Friends Manager automates the manual tapping needed to put followers on an Instagram Close Friends list. You install the extension, open your profile and click Add all, and it reads your follower list locally in the browser and adds followers in batches, resuming where it left off if paused.
To stay within normal usage patterns it waits a randomized 3 to 4.5 seconds between each follower. The site says your follower list never leaves your browser and your password is never requested, and it is aimed at people running a private feed for customers, testers or their real audience.
Pricing is a one-time charge scaled to the followers added: 0.02 dollars each for the first 5,000, 0.01 dollars from 5,001 to 50,000 and 0.0025 dollars beyond that, and the first 5 followers are free so you can try it first.
