What is the cheapest YouTube SMM panel?
We do not currently track YouTube prices, so we cannot name a cheapest panel for it.
Coverage is still narrow. Live prices have been read from 1 of 129 panels (2,182 services). The rest are listed because they are real, reachable operators — not because we have seen their rates. Panels with no synced catalogue show no prices rather than an estimate. How the data is gathered.
YouTube carries the highest prices per unit of any platform on SMM panels, and the most delivery risk, because its systems audit view sources aggressively.
Median is the middle price across every panel selling that service. Cheapest is the lowest single offer we have on record.
| Service | Cheapest / 1k | Median / 1k | Highest | Panels | Compare |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SubscribersChannel subscribers. The most expensive mainstream SMM service and the one most often reversed by platform cleanups. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| ViewsVideo views. Panels distinguish low-retention views from high-retention views that watch a large share of the video, and price them very differently. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| LikesLikes on a video. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Watch HoursWatch time toward the 4,000-hour monetisation threshold. Priced per 1,000 hours rather than per 1,000 units, so it does not compare directly to other rows. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| SharesShares of a video to external platforms. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| CommentsComments on a video, random or custom. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Premiere ViewsA genuine but narrow SKU, sold as 'pre-premiere waiting viewers'. Automated passive tiers: smmkings $1.08 and smmflare $1.30, both FIXED at exactly 5,000 units (min equals max, so there is no volume flexibility). Real-and-active tiers $2.30-$3.46. Must be ordered before the premiere starts and is wasted if the schedule shifts. Not refillable once the window closes. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Live Stream ViewersUNIT TRAP, but usefully linear at roughly $0.0033 per 1000 per minute, so any window interpolates. followiz 100%-concurrent: $0.048 (10 min), $0.10 (30), $0.20 (60). followiz 50-150% concurrent: $0.19 (15 min) through $8.94 (720 min) and $18.00 (24 hours). smmcost views-plus-likes: $0.50 (15 min), $2.00 (60), $6.00 (180), $24.00 (720), $48.00 (1 day), $115.00 (30 days). A headline rate is meaningless without the duration. Live chat is a separate SKU (smmcost $1.50 custom chat at 1-50 messages/min). Concurrent viewers feed YouTube's live recommendations, which is the actual payoff. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| DislikesCheaper than likes at wholesale - secsers $0.13-$0.173, smmraja $0.3307 bundled with likes - yet carries the WIDEST RETAIL MARKUP OBSERVED ANYWHERE: mediamister charges $50/1000, roughly 380x the wholesale floor. Largely a novelty purchase since YouTube hid public dislike counts in 2021, so the number is now visible only to the channel owner. Sold mainly for competitor sabotage, which breaches YouTube's terms and most panels' own ToS. Should not be listed or monetised. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Playlist ViewsEFFECTIVELY A DEAD SKU. A keyword sweep across five complete panel catalogues (including smmcost's 9,395 services, plus secsers, smmflare, smmkings and followiz) returned ZERO matches for 'playlist'. This band comes from the adjacent 'YouTube saves / playlist adds' bucket, carried by only 43 panels with order caps near 5,000. Retail sells substitutes instead: Favourites ~$70/1000, Community Poll Votes $30/1000. Treat any panel quoting playlist views as either mislabelled standard views or a stale listing. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Shorts Viewssmmcost sells a 'Shorts views + likes' bundle where price falls purely with committed volume: $0.90 at a 3K minimum down to $0.55 at 300K, all lifetime-guaranteed. smmflare $1.18-$2.11, $1.56 ads-sourced r365, $3.37 real-and-active, $7.05 Discovery Ads placement. socpanel $1.40-$1.60 with 20-25 second retention. Still retention-sensitive - Shorts rank on completion and rewatch rate. A dedicated Shorts subscribers SKU exists at ~$31.88, requiring at least three Shorts on the channel. | — | — | — | — | Compare |
| Shorts LikesNotably MORE expensive than standard YouTube likes, the reverse of the views relationship: smmcost $3.30 no-refill and $3.40 with 30-day refill (max 300K, instant, 100K/day), smmflare $3.36-$6.91. The premium exists because Shorts likes must come from accounts with genuine Shorts-feed activity. Keep the like-to-view ratio plausible - Shorts typically run 2-6%. | — | — | — | — | Compare |

We do not currently track YouTube prices, so we cannot name a cheapest panel for it.
The risk is not usually to your account, it is to your money. The cheapest tier of any YouTube service is normally recycled accounts that get removed in the platform's next cleanup, so a rate that looks 80% cheaper can cost more per unit that survives. Buying the same service with a refill guarantee costs more up front and less in practice — on some services the refill premium is 100%, which is the panel's own estimate of how much of the order it expects to have to replace.
