LionFollow vs SMMCost: which should you buy from?
Every figure below was measured by us: prices read from each panel’s own catalogue, uptime from our probes, trust from the itemised score on our methodology page. Nothing here is paid placement.
Data captured prices not yet synced from these panels
How do LionFollow and SMMCost compare on the numbers?
Price position is each panel’s median price across the services it sells, expressed against the market median for those same services, so a panel cannot look cheap by listing only the two cheapest categories on the market. A dash means we have not verified that row, which is a different claim from “no”.

Catalogue overlap counts distinct canonical services listed by both panels, not raw service rows, which every panel names differently. LionFollow and SMMCost share 79 services. When that number is high the two are competing for the same order; when it is low they are largely different businesses and the price columns above are comparing things that are not substitutes.
Which is cheaper on the services both sell?
275 services are sold by both panels at the same delivery geography. The 25 highest-demand of them are below, with the market median for context. Prices are per 1,000 units.

Green marks the cheaper panel on that row. Rows flagged “not comparable” are excluded from that count: a per-1,000 figure for watch hours or live viewer-slots means a different quantity at every panel, so the lower number is not necessarily the lower price.

Common questions about this comparison
- Is LionFollow or SMMCost cheaper?
- SMMCost is cheaper on more of the services both panels sell. Across the 275 services they have in common, we compare each panel’s own listed price per 1,000 rather than an advertised headline rate, and SMMCost comes out lower on the majority of them. On any single service the answer can differ: the per-service table above is the one to check for the service you actually buy.
- What does the catalogue overlap number mean?
- It is the count of distinct canonical services that appear in both panels’ catalogues, matched on what the service is, not on what each panel calls it. A high overlap means the two panels are genuine substitutes and a price comparison is like-for-like. A low overlap means they mostly sell different things, and comparing their headline prices tells you very little.
- Does LionFollow winning here mean it is the best panel overall?
- No. It means LionFollow scores higher than the other panel on this page, on a weighted score of price position, trust, features, reliability and support. A panel that is not in this comparison may beat it on all of those. The ranked lists cover that question; this page only answers which of these 2 to pick.
- How current are these prices?
- Every price row carries the timestamp of the last successful catalogue read, shown under the headline. Panels change prices without notice and several change them daily, so treat any figure older than a day as indicative and confirm at the panel before depositing.
